I've just said so much different shit about it haha. Some people swear it's the only way to get the best pot, others say it's bullshit and kills the plant/stresses her out. I'm just trying to get some different opinions haha.

u said it lots of opinions lol and if u are harvesting the plant u are killing/stressing the plant out

I'm sorry for posting about this topic, I just can't seem to find any good information about it. I searched a few other forums and actually found 2 high up forum members aurging about it. There is just too much controversy over it.

No need to apologize I just know I saw a 3 plus page thread last week sit in the resent post . I personally leave em in the dark for a few days I feel the terps are better that's just me tho

I tried it and confirmed its a myth. There was less frost, it's actually counter intuitive think about, your starving your plants of light how's that going to you give you more frost.

 

[tinderthumbs]

they say it helps bc your plants uses light to bud so u put them in the dark for days and they use up all that light/power in to making the buds fatter befor u cut

 

[420Artie]

Who's they? the growers that haven't done a side by side?

 

[tinderthumbs]

the people that been doing it for longer then most of us been alive lol .... and u said you did a side by side and u did not get more frost you did this side by side what 10 time 50 times 100 times to get a base???

 

[420Artie]

it's old hippy logic mixed with the placebo affect. it didn't work for me.

Well since u guy's tlkin bout the darkness is a myth and won't work wat about the ice cold water a few days before harvest will it do the same ?

 

[420Artie]

don't forget to also hang them upside down after chop and pour hot water down the plant to push all the thc into the buds.

[420Artie]
