Double Harvests/Plants in darkness for last few days...

i have to agree wit U.Ben on this 1. ive tried it wit my bubblegum plants 1 wit 36hrs of dark and 1 w/o. i have to say thers no difference in smoke,taste, smell, or high it jus saves u sum $ on electricity.

im not attaking ub he came at me like i was dumb for listening to a person online (supposivly) but me and him were talkin online and he was listening to me lol anyways UB may be a Og to this site but that dont mean a damn thang..who ever sides with somebodys opinion based on how long they've been a member on this site is is..just straight retarded and gulable..again ub is pullin shit off line..so what up ub i thought u said just cuz u read something on the internet and it gets repeated online doesnt make it true? we can do this all day....u sure were quick to react when i said "some say" and now u keep goin off about what u read and this guy says this and that..come on bru..i read that to (about thc being produced at certain times) so to try to force more thc out of ur plant at the end of its life is unlikely..yea i've read it but for some reason when i pull a nug and test the thc levels then throw the rest of the plant in darkness for some odd reason i get higher thc levels after the dark period..explain that? and again i will ask have u tried this? AND ACTUALLY USED A THC TEST KIT?

There are a lot of self important people on this forum who seem to think that their way is the only way. If we're going by credentials I think I'll stick with people like Jorge Cervantes because, along with having several of his own publications, he acknowledges that there are different ways of growing and isn't a jerk about the way he presents his info. Good teachers don't talk down to people for not doing things their way. Shitty and egotistical teachers do. Nutes for thought.

yea ub..did u hear that

ill stick with heaths advice!!!!!!!!!!! he is the real deal best grows ive ever seen!!!!!!!!!

wow get off the nuts..weed aint hard to grow

yeah it easy yo grow. Its also easy to be a douche bag

pale u a follower to huh? sounds like it..jump on the ub van wagon with all the other squares

Not really helping your case, man.

Pointless arguing...it gets us nowhere.......really........I know I tried that 24-36 hour darkness and couldn't tell the difference.......but try it...and find out for yourself....and if you have tried it and you say it works by all means keep do what your doing.......

would it help if just curled a big fucking turd in the pot???? would it taste different???

Well I've heard off putting the plant in darkness for 2-3 days before switching the light to 12/12, in fact Green House Seed Co's Arjan has advocated it for some of his strains.

I have tried that, it definitely does as described earlier- and tricks them into thinking they are going to die and makes them want to flower to reproduce. It caused several of my plants to flower overnight, however I also saw herms that crop, and had only seen them a few times before in my newb errors and havent since.

I honestly am suprised to hear that you would do this to fully flowered plants. In fact I am inclined to say that you are lucky you haven't hermed your plants doing this. The results of which would be completely disastorus, a bitch to trim, potential seedy nightmare, and a harsher smoke (not to mention diminished jar appeal).

However, many of you seem to have done this before and utilized this technique.

However, I'm with jcdws I'll stick with my purple maxx, overdrive, cha ching, and bud candy for that final shine. I'd rather drop the extra money for nutes that'll pump my trics the whole grow, than risk it at the last day.

I do however know that harvest just before or after the lights come on is the best time. This is shown through roses which when cut in the dawn always smell remarkably better than otherwise cut.

While ganja isnt a rose, its always got the most funk in my room during artificial dawn and its been handed down to me through family members who grow roses I mean, rose bud? lol.

But I have not since done the 36 hrs of darkness, nor will i do any post harvest darkness. My cured herb gets me pretty high as is, I think my solutions will be found in more light, better ventilation, nutrients, room arrangement. Even free things like, lsting, super cropping, scrog, sog, etc- offer more potentially for increased and better quality harvest than a potentially risky dark period.

But your saying no hermies...
Still skeptical, sorry- if not I guess its just patience then.

And perhaps I'd like to get trimming.

I don't follow shit motherfucker, I just know what the fuck makes a plant grow. Then again all that time money and effort in my botany classes was most likely a waste of time, I mean what does a botany class teach you anyways.

As a matter of fact I think I do know what I am talking about and if UncleBen had never spoke a word or existed, for that mater, I would still tell you that keeping your plants in the dark before harvest is a fucking stupid idea. All it does it make your plant stop producing anything.

Plants need photosynthesis to grow and produce. Without it they would not exsist. Then again the sun must go out for 72 hours every October right? Nope didn't think so.

Do you think that your cool or nifty cause you can talk shit on a forum without getting beat down? I bet you do. As a matter of fact if I ever were to meet you I think I would punch you in the throat.

That is all.

and its band wagon dipshit

i have done like 24,48, 72,96 hours in dark last 3 harvests. id have to say the 96 hr plants were alot stickier than than others but not much more than 72 ones. imo it makes them more sticky putting them in a dark period b4 harvest. ive seen some breeders say do 2wks for their white widows.. now adding more thc ???? arent new tricombs clear and still sticky but very little thc in them? im going to keep doing it. sticky is good

Trix are for kids,

More people should feel that way...and use elipses properly. Too many people around here rely on what others tell them to do instead of just trying it for themselves with some bag seed.

Man, I'm a newbie and even I know you're not going to get seeds in 24-36 hours at the very end of flower maturation. It's not about increasing yield. It's about trying to stress the plant into producing every bit of thc it can. At least understand what you're arguing against. Also, considering what I've seen from people who don't use 9835 different nutes I'd say that you're wasting money on hype. At least 24-36 hours of darkness is free.

i put dog shit in my pots this time when flowering....the buds grew twice as big. Tru Story

I slapped an idiot in real life.
