i have heard that you should turn your lights off for 24 hours before you harvest your plants. any opinions?
It sure is great that you have such a well formed opinion, about something you have never tried.There's tons of opinions on this.....I, for one, don't..... with my plants already giving me great potency, I see no reason to change anything. BUT...to each his own.....My opinion is....OCD makes some do the strangest things.....
Just prefer a chuckle now and then.......3,000,000 comedienes outta work and we're trying to be funny!My opinion is....OCD makes some do the strangest things.....
funny Shit oldreefer
And WHO is the THEY you are semi-quoting....I do believe I'm much more informed than any THEY.......and from your misuse of words, probably more educated too.Yes, it helps, but they suggest 72 hours of darkness. The first plant I grew did not receive darkness, but each successive plant got more and more darkness before the chop. As someone who has actually tried with and without darkness, I can say it definitely helped finish my buds.

If you want to replicate mother nature to a T, then you want to decrease the light hours as you near harvest. We dont have 12/12 outside exactly as we near the end of november. It makes no real difference to the plant it just ripens a little quicker the more dark time it gets, at like 10 on 14 off you might shave a couple of days of harvest time as the plant will think its nearing winter but at the same time your losing out on an extra couple of hours light and therefore losing growth IMO.
Thanks, my friend uses 2 lamps to try and recreate sunrise/sunset, his 1000w comes on about 45mins after lights on so the 600w on its own is like 'dawn' lol he gets good results by shortening the daylight hours to 11 then 10 in the final week and a half to 2 weeks.I agree with you 100% And even then, they aren't getting that benefit from a simple 24 hour period of dark. It's going to take a pattern for the plant to respond to a shorter photoperiod.
