Slowest dry is the best dry regardless of the rest as long as those girl are ready.Just like the entourage effect..I don't need proof.
It seems to work for me and I always have plants in flower, and so I shall continue:)
In any event, I get a better dry and cure.
Just came on here asking the same question. And I have decided to do the same leave them in the dark (where I e been for most of my life) lol!!!The girls are ready two plus weeks of flushing is done .
Now I've heard that leaving in the dark 24 hours or 48 or more (as much as two weeks?)will improve potency or trichome production .
Any body got any ideas on this ?
I was thinking to keep them in the for 48 hours and then 12 hours of light again and 12 dark and harvest .
I know this post is ancient but I just wanted to point out that this paper does not support the conclusions anothersellout came to. This paper discusses cell senescence in older leaves and says nothing about how extended dark periods affect breakdown of chlorophyll.Much love for the fact checking, Mother! I got so tired of being misinformed myself that I'm going to college for this shit just to have my own references.
On chlorophyll breakdown-
Leaf Senescence: Correlated with Increased Levels of Membrane Permeability and Lipid Peroxidation, and Decreased Levels of Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase
by Rajinder S. Dhindsa, Pamela Plumb-Dhindsa and Trevor A. Thorpe
Department of Biology, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
"The changes in membrane permeability (soluble leakage), lipid peroxidation, and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase have been studied during in situ senescence of leaves of Nicotiana tabacum L., cv. Wisconsin 38. After full leaf expansion was reached there was a rapid, almost linear increase in the rate of 86Rb leakage from the preloaded leaf discs, with leaf age. Parallel with this increase in membrane permeability was a cumulative increase in the level of lipid peroxidation. At the same leaf age there were changes in the activities of SOD and catalase. SOD activity decreased on the basis of fresh weight but did not change when measured on the basis of protein content probably due to relative stability of SOD during the senescence-associated general decline in protein content. Catalase activity first increased parallel with the chlorophyll content of the leaf and then, after full leaf expansion, declined on the basis of both fresh weight and protein content. These changes in membrane permeability, lipid peroxidation, and the enzyme activities coincide in leaf age with the decline in protein and chlorophyll contents and in chlorophyll a: b ratio. When the senescence of the bottom-most leaves was reversed by removing the stem from immediately above them, the senescence-associated changes in protein and chlorophyll contents, lipid peroxidation, and the enzyme activities were also reversed. It is suggested that leaf senescence may be a consequence of cumulative membrane deterioration due to increasing level of lipid peroxidation probably controlled by, among other factors, the activities of SOD and catalase."
Just says that a drop in proteins (flushing) along with degradation of chlorophyll (light deprevation) triggers ripening and finishing processes in the plant. If resin production is one of these outcomes in cannabis is as of yet unproven.

The Role of Chlorophyll Fluorescence in The Detection of Stress Conditions in Plants
by Hartmut K. Lichtenthalera & Ursula Rinderlea
Just says that the same chemicals from above in large doses at the wrong time trigger stress induced abnormalities.
Not trying to be a smart ass. It just comes natural.

A guy actually did a test he sent it in to a lab off the same plant and the thc went up 2% leaving it 48 hours in darkness its on youtube
I did see the video, thanks! And I too noticed the terpines went down but I’m not really understanding how much of an impact that is, I understand THC percent though lol I am wondering if after the 48 hours do I harvest everything or just the mature buds, leaving the immature ones to finish?A guy actually did a test he sent it in to a lab off the same plant and the thc went up 2% leaving it 48 hours in darkness its on youtube
If I'm going to try 48-72 hours in the dark, do I need to make sure the soil is reasonably dry before I put them in the dark? Or does it not matter?
To be fair we can all be like that ! For instance your set up compared to mine looks like dog shit and tiny ....And your bud does too but I ain't saying it on a post am I?Oh yea did Lol! also got ak47 from 1993 and I've got Jaffa caked cookies which is a recent strain running in the roomS and no difference in quality or hardness just terpenes. Rock hard nothing to do with bud or seeds or gens I could grow bag seed better Bag seeds outside then you do afiacando Indoor. Also not everyone can have outside air indoors as my room is .dialed in beyond belief. It's as if I have outside indoors airflow is everything .nothing in my growS will turn out airy I've grown strains back from 1970 to present in and out. So nar nar nar naaaaa! Yea don't shit on the guy or someone bigger smarter will come take dumps on you regularly...And his name is me! Tosserjust choped her down. i try to cut as far down as i xan but cant hang the whole plant because of the metal scrogView attachment 916360
Also I don't think it looks like shit. Next time you have a dump, wipe your ass.look at the paper that's what shit looks like. Just giving you the heads up. Cause when I wipe my ass if I stare real hard at my shit .I see your bud hanging up ;)that looks like shit
I'm curious how more than one person has posted the info about the ACTUAL STUDY that was performed about this subject yet people still post that this process does nothing. Guess these are the same type of people whom believe Trump won the election
I see this as a very old thread but to add to this I just had 2 Gorilla twins. 1 plant I put in the dark for 60 hrs and the other I let sit under the light for the extra 2 days. The only visible difference was more dark tric's on the plant in the dark by double. I didn't do any thing else to differentiate between them and both are now are mixed together in the same jars and it all taste the same. lolOnce there's enough THC to get me where i'm going it's all about how it smells and tastes; so i'll preserve terps at the cost of slightly less THC. Now if you water cure.....
An interesting thread for sure, but things and understandings have changed a bit since 2011...And the terpenes went down.
but a couple percent thc is hardly noticible in the real world while less terps vould be very noticable.
