Oh hell no. No they’re gonna finish, one way or another!
I guess I’ll just keep watching them and if some are totally done and others need several more days I’ll set up a closet.
I like having a variety of strains, who doesn’t, but man it’s been kind of a pain in the ass trying to accommodate their different needs in feeding, watering, now harvesting... it’d definitely be simpler to grow all one strain.
Thanks all.

Yes this was the white widow technique to force more trichomes to protect itself. Let it dry a bit then start a one week dark cycle at the end of budding. It hastens ripening on stubborn plants too. I do it all the time.

I have done that mostly and they never all finish at the same time. I usually go 70-75 days and then chop regardless. I have had one run where plant was finished in 50 days while the rest where still flowering more.

I think as long as your humidity was low enough you could go as long as you wanted in the dark before harvest within reason.

Hey man. So my problem is that I have one tent, it’s my grow tent and my drying tent, and I have plants that are going to finish at different times, maybe a week or so apart.
I figured I could chop some, kill the lights, and let the others finish in the dark.
If I keep my humidity around 50-55% and temps around 65-70f, do you think this would work out?

What if you got a large cardboard box from an appliance and tied it into the ducting for your tent? You could hang the plants in there, the cardboard would probably keep humidity in check. All you would need is cardboard, duct tape and extra ducting. Idk, just trying to think of a cheap/simple solution for you

Another old wives tale.
Find a good lab that tests weed. The test results will show it hurts, not helps.
kinda like starving when they need to feed to Finnish for two weeks at the end..lol
trying to get rid of shit that WILL NOT COME OUT once its in there.
