dogs or weed guys, cmon! make up your minds!
yeah ive heard that leaving your plants in the dark for a couple days before harvest helps create higher levels of THC, mainly due to the fact that its a natural sunblock, and as the plant gets ready for the next day ahead, that "day" never comes..so they continue to prepare for it.ive also heard that lowering nighttime temps makes the plant finish sooner. mine are looking so sugarcoated i dont know how they could get anymore resinated!but im damn well gonna try! lol 2 weeks left!

That would seem logical. I am def gonna try this when my WW is ready. Then when my sour d is ready, then when my afghan Kush is ready. After that I will have smoked so much weed I will probably forget to do it agai...lol

I have 6 purple bubba kush plants going right now. They are only 3 weeks in, so I have a little while before I will be able to try this. But I'll take 3 of plants and put them in a dark room the last 2 days while the other 3 keep their regular schedule and see what the differences are.

This does actually work. I mean, its not something that's going to blow your socks off your feet when you smoke it or anything like that. However, it does make a difference.

My results with the '72hr dark' with 2 plants of the same strain...twice, have still not convinced me that the extra did anything to improve anything...if anything, my buds on the 72hr dark one were fluffier....no blind testers consistantly picked out any difference....the only thing I've noticed did anything of note among testers was....good watering 2 hours before chop....which did show more bud swell....but didn't seem to do anything else....

The watering before chopping might plump them up a little, but wont it mostly be water weight that you'll lose during drying and curing? Also wouldn't watering 2 hours before harvesting make the drying and curing process take longer?

Ya know this is probably one of the easiest but yet most effective tricks as far as resin production spikes. Right when your girls are ready to be chopped down leave them in the medium, turn off the lights and leave them in PURE darkness for 72 hours. A small breeze in the room would be great but NO DIRECT WIND on your plants. After those 3 anxious days you will return to your babies and find out they did have a little more in them than you had thought. Happy grows! One love!
or just have a high resin producing strain from the get go along with some powerful lights and wwwaaalllaaahhh
dgm i tried the dark period myself and cant say there was much difference apart from they smelt more

So long ago, I'm sure I burned it all up....but I can add Pakistani Ryder, at that time was a potent auto...always got comments when I broke out a nug or two and was a good yardstick for testing other potencies. Very worthy then, prob is now.
