Yea a week is probably to much. I brought it up because there's a technique of harvesting called choking, where of course "dry" or "choke" the plant to death within a week of darkness. I've read that dried buds taste like if they'd been a month cured with scaled potency as well. There's a thread in this forum covering all the principles thus I haven't tried it yet, I'm really looking forward to it when the opportunity presents.
The two day dark period for sure still do that. Cannabis produces the thc (crystals) in order to protect the buds from harsh UVB rays. The plant produces these thrichombes in the morning twilight before the sun comes up. Leaving it in the dark will trick the plant into thinking its that twilight period for a longer period, thus producing more thrichombes the whole time. Its nothing crazy, maybe two to three percent thrichombes production increase.
WTF?
Thanks, I needed that laugh today. Party on my my friend!!
It's no joke, going in dry !Ugh
A “moist” joke
My plant was outside! I couldn't leave it in darkness, I chopped it and hung it in my garage, trying to keep airflow, and put a humidifier (gonna get a better one next time) to slow down the drying process, I still left in dark for 2 days but not sticky at all!before you harvest give them 2-3 days in complete dark even better if you can make it a week, no water, no anything just keep vent running. You'll get the stickiness back plus really nice treats you'll find out for yourself if you follow my advice
The 2-3 days in darkness is nonsense. It's just something floating around cannabis growers but most laugh at it because it's ridiculous.
