Flowering light cycle

If you turn the lights back from 12 hours of light to less will it do anything? Like in the wild when the days get shorter, is that something to do to increase thc? or indoors is it pointless?
 
I hate to crush peoples hopes and experiments with what their plant can do so I just will say I doubt you will get more THC from giving them less lights through out flower. Some people say right at the end before harvest give your plants a long dark period and it will do just what you are saying. By long though I mean like 36-72 hours straight dark.

After all that said I use 10 light 14 dark in flower to cut back on energy cost. You want more THC find better genetic plants and create a great environment for them to grow in.
 
The night before you harvest take a knife and stab the trunk about two inches above the soil. shove the knife right through it and twist it to the right or left to make a hole, than take a piece of wood or plastic and remove the knife and shove it in there. Let it sit for 24 hours in the dark, it is like us with addrenalyn it shoots up into the buds like it is trying to survive. Bottom line is you have to have good dna to get a high thc content but I did this and the stuff winds up killer. With that said I only buy very high content seeds to start with so it is going to be good anyway
 
I am currently growing tangerine dream it says a good thc content 20%+ so I am looking for ways now that I can increase thc or bud production or make them bigger. If you wanna save on electricity do the gas lantern routine it uses 13 hours of light while keeping you bill low, look it up ive tried it looks good.
