Well I was wondering what would happen if:
1.you give 36 hours dark before flowering?
2.you give 36 hours dark in the middle of the flowering?
3.you give 36 hours dark in the final phase of flowering
4.And the most important for me : the three above combined(give 36 at the begginning ,in the middle and in the final phase)?
Very interesting to me ...I would like to know what woud happen in the different cases... :)
10x in advance!

I too am interested in these dark periods. I have to leave my grow in the dark a couple of times and was wondering if it would mess things up?

you would think 36 in the beginning an 36 in the middle could herm it out no?

i heard of the 48 hrs of dark before harvest.. havent tried it tho.

i THINK the logic behind the darkness before switching over to flowering is that it resets the plants internal clock. Darkness right before harvest has somehting to do with resin/potency

What about 48 hours of dark? Wife and I are going on a two day vacation and she does not want me to leave lighting on while we are gone.

messing with light cycle DID herm one of my plants on my 1st grow.. and even light leaks can really mess with them.. thats what i THINK personally... i had 3 plants same strains and the on closest to the closet door did get light leak from my living room and in fact was a hardcore tranny balls all over it with fem hairs. others in the back of closet where fine.

ive read about the 48 hrs of dark/ or lack of wattering the plant on final 48 hours supposedly tricks the plant thats its dying and takes all the nutes to the flowers to "ensure" that it will spread its genes. thats why people say it enhances the resin glands.

but thats what ive read on multible forums... sounds good on paper but im not gonna say its 100% true... i wouldnt personally put the plant in 48 hrs of dark then bring it back to the regular cycle could really mess with the plant.. but some times u have to do what makes the wifey happy
