I've got 2 beautiful Blue Dream plants that are ready to harvest. Is it proven or just bro science to #1- deny water for a day or 2 and/or #2- deny light, as in a totally dark extended time ? Tks for replies.

Back in the late 70s, outdoors, in the wild, in California. It was a common practice to quit watering a week or more before chop. Something about secreting more resin to protect themselves from the sun. But back then everything was pretty much bro science. Maybe you can drought stress One of them and compare the results. I think it takes more than two days though. Good luck.

Take a look at this

TLDR: keep the plant healthy and lighted as normal right up to harvest.

seems like there is some merit to inducing drought.
