Yeah, it's confusing, anywhere you read there seems to be conflicting ideas on it. Sugars stored at night, get sucked up during the day..yada yada .. do what works for you man.
No but some sites claim a harsh smoke if your plant is drawing up sugars, which happens when the lights are on, hence the encouragement of harvesting just before the lights come on. But..I'm not here to debate on that (well now I'm knee deep in this aren't I). Also if your plant is at its end, done growing, how much more are you gonna get from a fading plant leaving the lights on 24/7?
Dunno. Thought I would try it once. This is one of 5 cuttings from a plant I previously grew so I have a grow done the traditional way to base it on. I still have a half ounce left in fact for side-by-side tasting. I did reduce light to 75% so I won't go TOO far over its normal DLI.
He is one controversial guy. I'll follow, keep my mind open on this one for sure.Dunno. Thought I would try it once.

B Bugbee seems to think it will help with terpene synthesis and he IS funded by NASA....
Yes, I am leaving the lights on for 4 or 5 days and not watering. I filled the 3-gallon reservoir Friday morning, and it was gone this morning. I am not going to refill it. I have worms, beetles, mites and other creepy crawlies in the soil that will not like it and most likely die or split for greener pastures. (literally) but that is OK. I am dumping this in my compost pile and starting from scratch the next run anyway.
I've tried this once with no issues (reducing the light on time) but now do this after week 6 of flower. By week 8 -10 I'm at about 10.5 on time, 13,14 off.. not on every grow, just when I want to do something different really..lol, but you guys got me interested in what Bugsbe is saying about this, I'll have to hunt down that interview.
Even if you had water in there, in organics, if the plant doesn't want to drink, it's not gonna drink, once they fade, nothing is bringing them back. Nothing. Lights included.
Ahh, I see it, the drought part of it. That's actually encouraged by the Greenhouse Seed Company, especially with the White Widow strain. But they do it right at the flip and once during mid flower. And not for 5 days. Just enough to get a good dry back, and they grow synthetic style too so you have to take what your reading in to who their targeted audience is. There's advice for those who grow with bottled nutrients, and those who grow from the soil, your not gonna kill this plant either way. It's a dam weed. It can take a lot of punishmentSorry 7.....leaving them on....that'll take care of drying quicker!
Week4, I found this article....not the one I was/am looking for.....I think I've read that somewhere before....it sounded like this one, but more technical I guess...

I hear that. I cut a few inside branches once and plopped them in an opened bottle of water and put it in my windowsill where I promptly forgot about it. A month later and the water was half gone bottle had roots a foot longAhh, I see it, the drought part of it.

I like to drought stress them at the end, outdoors! Don’t know that it makes a huge difference, but it makes me feel better!
