48 hours of darkness before harvest

[James beam]

the plant will grow or be alive for a couple of days if you leave it in the dark.. so i think its just like letting the plant use all its stored energy before chopping it

Yea man.. That's about the size of it. Stressing your plant at the end does have some scientific proof. Loads of it actually.. Thc does rise. Because the plant thinks its dying and pushes all last efforts into the buds...its not a myth as some are suggesting.. But stripping leaves in flower does exactly the same.. Tells the plant its dying.. Efforts go to buds. Its all trial and error but personally Ive always done both.. But your cropping it anyway so why not do it..?

Scientific proof? Link please. I’d love to read a scientific study that shows exactly what you say. Not saying your wrong, but I am skeptical. Sounds like a lot of bro science if you ask me.

didnt notice a difference.

Probally need to thc test 72 dark and 1 with 3 regular light cycle to know for sure

I've read things and talked to growers over the years and seen that many people move their plants into darkness for anywhere from 12-72 hours depending on who you ask. So, now I ask the weed nerds -

Do any of you fine folks put your plants into a period of darkness before harvesting?

And if so...

What have been your results and own thoughts?

Finally...

Everyone else - does this method seem useful enough to use?

First time ever grower but, i seen mrcanucksgrow on YouTube say 48hrs of darkness helps the plants increase terpene production so im thinking to try it when the time comes

canuck and his youtube channel is a waste of hard drive space. Why would you watch or believe anything a hack that grows plants that look like this has to say?

The guy isn't qualified to offer any advice. I couldn't believe it when I saw some of the crap that guy grows. Youtube is full of hacks without any actual knowledge. Not someone I'd listen to for anything plant science related.
