Just kidding, has anyone tried to give a plant 24-36 hours of full light before harvesting to give it a stress push before finish? I understand letting sit in the dark for 36 hours or so before harvest, but I have humidity problems if I shut lights more than 12 hours. What you guys think about the hours on before harvest?

actually thet will be counter productive. resin (THC) is actually produced majority during the dark cycele. its easier for the plant to produce and cover itself with resin when the sun (your light) isnt drying it out. what you want to do is actually give it 24-36 hours of darkness right before you harvest. this gives the plant a final "push" of Thc production during the prolonged dark period. if this causes issues for you then im not sure what to do, i really would not leave them under lights for that long during flowering though, the prolonged hot light could damage your bud formation or density.

let me know if you got any more questions about this, goodluck man

Ohh I fully understand the 24-36 hours of darkness. I just smoked a fat bong before thinking about this, but let me try to explain the train of thoughts I had. I also understand the heat issues you are saying, but my temps never go above 70F, always 65-68F. I also run LEDs, so no heat from my lights are effecting the thc on the top bud. Also, wouldn't turning the lights on for 36 hours or so stress the plant out fully, helping develop for more resin? The question also remains, would turning the lights on produce more resin than lights off?

like above said.. the resins are pushed out more so during the dark hours.. give more light, less resin.. keeping lights on that long straight again like stated above if anything would make the plant go more to veg which is less thc/resin.. need dark not light.

well if heats not an issue then that changes the game slightly. as long as you wont be cooking resin i cant think of a reason that this theory wouldnt work because ya light promotes growth, not necessarily resin growth, but the whole plant mightb bulge a little more after, it wont neccessarily give you a noticable amount of more resin though. so i say go ahead and try. HOWEVER: if you over stress the plant by leaving it under light it could flip back into veg so make sure you chop em quick and the break in the light cycle could cause them to go hermie on you if there stressed enough so just be carfulk.

its a interesting idea though so i say give it a try and let us know, just keep a close eye on them lol

if you got a plant to spare, i would do an experiment on what works... try one 36hrs lights on and the other 36hrs lights off and see how they both respond and post the results

My understanding is that it is it's UV protection. Resin is built up during the dark hours, it is then broken down at sun up. Hene the idea of darkness prior to harvest. So going by that thin king you would be degrading the quality of the thing before you chopped it.

ya thats what im sayin, it may work, but if not you could have turned yourAAA+ bud into B+ bud lol. just a thought

In the history or marijuana horticulture, has anyone tried this? I cannot find a single person that has done it. I mean to touch on certain issues:

1) the plant would not revert back to veg with just 36 hours. Maybe so in 3-5 days but not 36 hours.

2) even if the plant ended up herm'ing from stress, the pollen would not develop in 36 hours.

3) you are correct with light killing thc, but is the extra stress towards the end of a plants life enough boost to overcome the thc lost?

Answer these questions someoneeee!

NONONONONO stress is bad dude! Don't stress your shit out for no reason! You haven found anyone doing what your talking about because it will only potentially hurt the plant, and in no way help it.

hah exactly, you can only give so much advice before testing it is the only way to know. nobody knows for sure because it goes against the anatomy and characteristics of the plant, so obviously not many people try lol. if they think there on to something, nobodies stopping em from doing it so thats about where i get off.

I cant even try it if i wanted to. I got other flowering plants in my flowering room. I couldnt give them 36 hour straight. But I would try it in the future if I had a spare room and tent. Just wanted to see what you guys think. I think it might be worth while trying, since many people in the past have altered a plant and got great results; lst, topping, fim, stress training, etc.

that much is true. your theory goes against the minstream accepted breeding habbits, but then again all the most influential experiments/people went against what was the accepted belife at the time.

so if your confident, go for it, you have plenty of reasons not too, but if you got that feeling then you got that feeling lol



goodluck man, let me know what happens with this
