Second White Whidow Harvest

This is only my second harvest and i'm still doing alot of reading on different methods.I read in last issue of high times about "Shock Ripening", wanted to get some feedback on the subject.Also was wondering what is exactly happening to the plant when you do this.

fucking gorgeous bro!? if you have any hybrids of this message me id love to get some genetics. i currently have nothing worth while.

Impressive grow!! Those look VERY nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Shock ripening"????? I haven't heard of this before. I'll have to keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone can explain what this is.

I have heard of it a few times now. I have never heard of it being a large confirmed difference though.

It is a little different wherever you hear it but the general concept is giving it cold water for 2-4 days before harvest and keeping the plant in pure darkness. Its supposed to stimulate the plant into thinking something bad is happening and give it a little finishing boost at the end. Most people say there is a little resin production difference but that's about it.

Did you start from seeds or clonz?

as far as shock ripening, read this I saw a little bit ago.

i think the theory is that you are sweating cannabinoids out of the plant or something. Also, I really don't believe anything written in high times, it's all ads, product reviews that writers are paid (rewarded with free stuff, buds, etcc) I like Skunk magazine because it has useful articals and doesn't do phony stuff.
