I've tried this the last two flowering runs, I don't know if it increased resin significantly, I wasn't honestly looking for that so I couldn't tell.
It did seem, keyword there, to increase trich development. Compared to where the majority of trich's were prior to the 48 hrs, there was a noticeable increase in the levels of cloudy/amber trich heads in only 2 days time.
And that is in contrast to the levels 2 days of 12/12 would've brought out. So the darkness seems to trigger a ripening response. More research is needed.
:D
Its kind of interesting how some of you see this.....
To my understanding the plant goes into "End of the World" mode. The theory goes that a plants only objective in life would be to reproduce and have more offspring...hence putting on more trics to attract and hold on to any pollen thats around....at least that was my understanding.
heard about this a whiles ago,tried it on 2 plants i know very well,it makes no difference whatsoever in my view besides keeping it from being trimmed,dried and cured 3 days earlier than it otherwise would have been....just my twopennorth
the med-man is one of canadas elite breeders. read his article in hightimes feb 2010 "canadas super seeds" and the hightimes 2010 strain/breeder guide.
he calls it shock ripening, but takes it a step further and gives them ice water for the dark period. it increasses trichome production, yield and aroma under optimal conditions. i would say a benefit as ive been doing it for 5 years or longer now thanks to his advice.
he says it activates the plants defense mechanisms which is resin and terpene activation. if yer dialed that will be the case. i doubt it will help shitty genes and or grows, peace, og
lolol seriously
so this canada breeder knows all the secrets to this beloved herb, and everyone else dont know shit
and ice water - why would you want to shock the roots like that, i dont see ANYTHING positive out of coming out of that.
serious motherlode, old wives tales at its finest
i hear driving a nail through the stalk will make it more potent too LOLOL
i do believe ethylene is what is affecting this here. Ill do some more brushing up and get back at you....better yet anyone interested wiki ethylene. Interesting shit.
