Keep It Simple Stupid. A lot of people have a lot of input on this and I was not expecting that. Thanks all

But yes 24 hours of darkness before chop is super key bro. You must do it. Id say its part of the so called kiss.

Who is "Chucky", you dick hole...This has been brought to you by the inventor of the F&D table system as of 1993 BC Canada
Do you have any evidence that it doesn't work? You don't see Chucky on this anymore...

This must be some sort of scientific evidence...

Please allow me to share with you that I had bud tested, it tested 25% THC, I then left that sitting on my coffee table for a month exposed to light and air, it dried to dust if pressed but I had it tested again and guess what it only lost 3 % points, yeppers tested at 22% THC
AND THAT TOOK A MONTH
Ya want science ? Well popo has come up a way to determine age by usin degradation and they determined it takes a year to lose 7% if improperly stored

The whole leave em in the dark, harvest before lights on is all mythical nonsense

Something i read in a book long ago, So do it. Its bro science. I have the data to back it up and showed it on the site many times. Maybe you've missed it I'm not sure. But with the data i have ill never not do 24 hours of darkness before chop. Just something the wife and I do. I don't knock people who don't, i hope this doesn't turn in to that. Its all about your own data bro. You have your i have mine and the guy farming down the street has his.

I would think you know I'm not a basher, I was just curious ?
can you link me to your data, I just posted mine

Boiling roots is mythical nonsense. Harvesting before the lights come on reduces starch in the finished product.

Of course. Pic 1 is a bud pic of a plant that will go into 24 hours of darkness in roughly 10 days (sorry about the burnt tips, I try to stay as green as possible in late bloom I'm not sure what happened there). Pic 2 are my lab results of that plant after 24 hours of darkness. Remember this is just my own data off some bro science i read in a book years and years ago. Many people do not go into dark periods before chop because of their grow application does not allow them too and i totally respect that.

I love you too Church
anybody can google what happens to plants (any/all plants) when the root zone is deprived of O2, it's in all the botany books so not hard to find the answer
watering with boiling water instantly deprives the root zone of O2
a third grader could do the math

This isn't a thread about your old hippie myth (boiling roots), it's a thread about a dark period, which you've said the whole thing is "mythical nonsense" and you're wrong.
Regardless of how long your dark period is, the plant will remobilize leaf starch from chloroplasts at night at a rate such that it runs out just before the lights come on. This allows the plant to maximizes growth at night while not running out of starch before morning.
If you have 12 hour nights, it will remobilize the starch in exactly 12 hours. If you have 14 hour nights, it will remobilize all the starch in 14 hours. The plant remembers how long nights are and plans on using all of it at night.
Cutting after the dark period ensures that all leaf starch has been remobilized as sugar.. Any more time after that normal dark period is useless.

And yet "you" mentioned it LOL
There are also well known chemical reactions that happen after harvest, reactions that are desirable for our intentions and they require energy
I wonder where plants get energy from ?

Well a lot of people appreciate he's very active lately. No need to say "waste energy here". Cant believe you'd go to that "we" level of talk. Its ok to disagree with one another, it really is. Fuck this thread aint about disagreeing, 24 hours yes or no. No big deal, no wasted energy, just a practice some do. Some don't great buds!!!!
