You cut thru the "xylem" and the "phloem" layers and it's the same as darktimes (reference World of Seeds)I don't see how cutting the stalk like that would make any difference than putting in total darkness. The best way I have found is to turn your dehumidifier down to 30% and get temps down to about 50 to 60 and keep it in darkness for 24 to 36 hours. But I wouldn't recommend a totally dried out media.
Ive give all mine a 36h sleep b4 going 12.12
their "bloom Ultra" they recommend a 36 hr dark time to start then in 3 day's switch to 12/12. along with dark-times help pre-flower stage development
It's on the directions..... Nice!their "bloom Ultra" they recommend a 36 hr dark time to start then in 3 day's switch to 12/12. along with dark-times help pre-flower stage development
This thread is about setting your plants in the dark 24-48 hours after the plant was flushed and dried out. Then you leave the girls in the dark. When your ready to chop them down it will be 24-48 hours later. I personally don't set in dark before flip. Some may do it and it's probably what they like and they don't see the plants stress. It's up to you.I've been growing indoors and out for 20 plus years. 17 very successful harvests. A few not so good...either way, I've never let my babies sit in 3 days total darkness before flip...seems like hype...heres my opinion why:
Cannibas is a photoperiod plant correct. Darkness more so than light...correct.
Ok that's defined...
At this point indoors your humidity levels should still be a little high from veg.
High humidity and darkness is a breeding ground for bacteria and molds. 72 hours...a lot can happen. Plain and simple. I do not see the light shock to be beneficial. I could be wrong please chime in respectfully.
But please don't tell me that the directions said so...just.send me.your money instead and I'll send you the secret formula...haha
I do however, at the end of my flowering increase the dark period to 18 hours dark the last 7 to 10 days providing my RH is low enough.
Don't know if it helps just what an old goat showed me years ago...this goat grew phenomenal weed. Illiterate as could be...barely write his own name. But his weed...in nearly 30 years of consumption I've never seen anything come close to this guys product.
Disclaimer: I haven't been able to read this entire thread.
I think the difference more dark time might create is a consistent temp drop, pushing the plant to full senescence. If you have the ability to put the plant into senescence w/o an extending the dark period. I think the results would be identical.
There is a peak terpene time for harvest, but I don't' think extending the dark period beyond that is the direct cause of anything. Everything I've read that promotes the dark period appears anecdotal. Flush it completely, and drop the temps like they would be in the extended dark period and I have a hard time believing there would be a discernible difference.
All imo and with respect.
all goodna, i dont put in dark before flip...no1 i know does...only at end of bloom 24-48 hrs....then chop
I have 2 in the dark.all good
I'm looking for all info on this harvesting secret. Last harvest I had to leave my grow shut down for at least 4 days. I was just about to harvest but had unexpected guest. As soon as I got to them they were real heady, and very pretty, I just grabbed the stem and they snapped nicely. It seems as if this was some secret that I've never heard of. The pot blew people away. Please try this it won't be detrimental and let me know. Get high!
Nothing. At least nothing when your environment is correct.
When you give your plants 2 days of dark and you see a large visible improvement, your growing conditions were stressed. Believe me, I grow awesomely dank cannabis and I see zero change when I give them dark for 2 days. Nice verification that I'm doing things correctly.
I've actually given a plant a month in the dark. THC still degraded, CBN levels still climbed from it, you could see the heavy amber trichome percentage was over 30%. 2-3 tokes would knock anyone out for hours, within 15 minutes of smoking it, completely ruined the cannabis for enjoyment, only good for folks who can't stand life and want to sleep through it.
