Shock Ripening

I actually just tried this recently.

4 quadrants, 0 days dark - 4 days dark before harvest.

There was no difference in weight or trich between the 0 day dark and 4 day dark under the scope or the scale, and after curing they look the same, no way to tell the difference.

I know this is an older thread but accurate justice should be served, in terms of shock ripening fruit in general:

-"Now this technique should only be used at the very end of the plant's life because this will shock the plant into forcing all its final energy into ripening its tomatoes."

And more specifically:

His nugs are rather convincing!
