72 hours for frosting???

What? Give your plants 72 hours of darkness to stimulate resin production?

Does this work?

Any opinions, positive or negative? Thanks.

You can but you won't tell much of a difference. Supplement with IR lights will give you better results.

I've heard of people doing that right before harvest but not "during" the flowering cycle...is this what you meant???...g/l

Some people believe 24 hour of dark to start the flowering cycle, some say 24-48 hours of darkness before harvest .
Personally, I saw no advantages in either method from my trials.

Based on a report that never existed

Good Luck

"The Stichting Institute of Medical marijuana (SIMM), the first company to sell marijuana through the pharmacies of Holland, has been investigating the medical possibilities of cannabis, together with TNO laboratories and the University of Leiden.

One of their discoveries has been that to keep the ripe plants in the dark before harvesting could increase their potency. SIMM’s growers separated a crop of mature plants, harvested half of them and kept the other half in absolute darkness for 72 hours before cutting and drying. Analysis of the resulting dried buds showed that some varieties had seen an increase of THC of up to 30%, while CBD and CBN remained the same."

I was thinking during flowering cycle. But it's new to me.

Thanks. THC, CBD or CBN? Which one do we want the most-of for the non-nervous, non-anxious happy high?

That is very strain dependent, but the thing to know is that CBD regulates THC and that nervous/anxiety is most usually from harvesting high THC strains to early

CBN is what THC degrades into, not a good thing, and tends to makes folks sleepy
