I have a question for all you veteran growers out there!

[Jack Larson]

Do you really think posting pics, telling people where you live and that you're gone for three days every two weeks is a good idea? Most people would think that's not smart. So, who is gonna trust you when you say that it's a good idea to add 216 hours of dark to flowering? I never said it would kill plants I said it is dumb, but I would like to revise my statement " YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT" and you can't SPELL!!! I see average plants... where are the trichomes ? That's what this is really about.

Do you know where I live ...No

Do you know where my Medical grow is located? No

And droll is French for funny.... you ignorant fuck.....chasng me from thread to thread.... what a ass

Cant argue with that. Im trying this. Good choice on the 400w parabolas. If this works, It will save me so much energy consumption over the years. I just couldnt justify any dark period before those pictures. Thank you

 

[hoagtech]

That test is bullshiz. Try it for yourself and conduct a blind test with your patients. My money is on the fact that no one will notice a difference.

Well even you dont notice difference, the difference is you dont have to pay electricity when your lights are off. Im starting to like this idea

 

[Jack Larson]

I won't be "chasng" you ... also french? The fight is not worth the prize! As for the pic, again, average at best. I will miss our bantor, as it has been very "droll". ...and it's "an ass", not "a ass", but you're my intellectual superior, right?

 

[colonuggs]

No bro.... you just been trying to debunk something you have no experience in....and for some reason you decided I was your target

I offer proff that you can leave your flowering plants in the dark for days with no ill effects...I found this out due to power loss for 4 days

I been growing for many a year...I been on this site for years under Vaped13 then the site got wiped out and alot of people lost thier user names

I'm not smarter than you but I probably have more experience growing than you do seeeing as how you just go off at the mouth and you dont offer up any pictures as evidence to back up what your saying

Where are your trichs

"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."

 

[Jack Larson]

sorry bros extra darkness does not add to trichs or potency...

I have to leave my flowering girls in the dark for 3 days... every 2 weeks... for my entire 8 week flowering time...thats 4 times of 3 days of darkness

you started it dude...you are just flat out wrong. The method is to put plants in total dark "at harvest" not every two weeks. The reason for doing this is to stress the plant which makes the plant produce more/swell glands in an attempt to reproduce. As I have stated this does not work on all strains, but seems effective on some strains. It pisses me off when people give advice like it's gospel. That's why I said "experiment". Just because something you did pleases you, doesn't mean it's best for everyone. As I have never been one to put ego before common sense, I will not be posting photos. Where I come from, they call that evidence. Besides, as you've proven, any idiot can cut & paste a photo, and make claims that cannot be verified. I would love to put you in your place and tell you who I am, and how many years experience I have, but I recognize a pissant when I see one, and you are not worth it.

I have read messages on sites like this where people growing in their basements and closets and store rooms and grow tents and garages and attics have claimed it doesn't work but I have never read anything from anyone or any place with credentials that equal or top that of; "The Stichting Institute of Medical marijuana, TNO laboratories and the University of Leiden" that have supplied scientific proof that it doesn't work.

 

[Jack Larson]

Yep , and Attidude seed bank suggests doing this with White Widow. You know... those guys that sponsor this site! (but, what do they know? lol)...........

For one, Attitude advertises here, that's all. Second, Attitude is a seedbank, not a professional breeder or group of professional breeders. Third, Attitude is not a high tech lab or research facility. Fourth, any information given about strains for sale on any seedbank comes from the breeder.

But I do not understand what your point actually is? Scientific research was performed on a number of strains and the findings were that if given 72-hours of darkness SOME strains saw an increase of up to 30% in THC without any increase in CBD or CBN. You respond with what was said about what, one knockoff White Widow strain, that is the same idea but a different time frame and you believe that trumps what "The Stichting Institute of Medical marijuana, TNO laboratories and the University of Leiden" scientific research discovered?

 

[colonuggs]

what strain saw the 30% increase??? I want to get 30% higher

Bro you think I haven't tried the extra darkness thing on my strains..... 72 at the end sure I have....alot of people have ....I have not noticed any difference in MY strains potency wise

I am just saying that I am forced to leave my plants that are in flower ....in the dark for long periods (48-72 hrs) at different times of the flowering cycle.... it doesnt hurt or help them...

thats all I was saying...then peple wanna attack me on a personal level call me dumb, pissant and shit....I'm not afraid to post pictures beacuse I grow legally... if they want me they already know where I grow cause we have to register our Med grow site address

I'm not sure you understand what sponsorship is. But I absolutely agree with you on everything else. I did not mean any disrespect to you personally.

sorry bros extra darkness does not add to trichs or potency...

Well now...that's a little different than your original post, isn't it? Look, dude, I don't wanna fight with anybody, but we all need to be more responsible for our responses, and when someone makes a blanket statement like this, followed by an avatar depicting a head banging against a wall it sort of insinuates that that's just the way it is, and anyone who doesn't think so is just stupid. Frankly, I'm tired of seeing this shit derail an otherwise productive discussion. But when I see somebody doing this, I'm not just ganna sit on my hands.

 

[colonuggs]

Anyone dumb enough to put their plants in total dark for 216 hours during flower or, for that matter, Any Time, should not be posting on an advanced forum...much less in an advisory capacity

, but I would like to revise my statement " YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT" and you can't SPELL!!! I see average plants... where are the trichomes ? That's what this is really about.

your right bro people need to take responiblity for responces & personal attacks.... huh this provokes responses in kind and puts people on the defensive...PEACE BRO

Look, dude, I don't wanna fight with anybody, but we all need to be more responsible for our responses, .

 

[Jack Larson]

Like I said "you started it". Perhaps you should try mastering the English Language before you start branching out to French. Really dude, I've seen better spelling from 5th graders.....If you knew how stupid you were, you'd be twice as smart as you are now.

Wow my friend you are a antagonistic ignorant f**k sorry but i think you could piss off a corpse with your ignorance. I do not apologize if this offended you. I do apologize if it offended anybody else. Talk all the shit you want now don't care as long as you know what i think about you is all that matters take care now.

 

[jeeba]

What was this thread about again?I think you need to work on you social skills,and have a intelligent discussion on this.Lets skip the personal attacks.
