Buds in the dark???

seems the intent of the original question has gotten lost in here... shut the lights off for a week or at least a few days before harvesting... a family member of mine who has been growing for many years swears that shutting the lights off for 48hours before harvesting forces the plant to release more resin (THC) thereby increasing the potency of your labor. However, I can't say from my relatively brief growing experience if this is true or not.
I agree but a week is a bit long, 3 days is about the limit. The plant cant keep putting on weight after it has used up the energy it stored the last time it had light. So it will start to use up leaf matter.
