From what you have described you are simply putting a hazard into your grow that you do not need, unless you are gonna sit there an watch the gas lantern burn the whole time then you are just asking to start a fire in your grow room

This gas lantern thing does not sound like a great idea, i just use 24/0 or 18/6 for veg, no need to involve gas heaters, maybe an oil radiator on a thermostat during the winter for temps.

During flower i tend to run my lights during the night, as it helps in the summer and winter as the night is usually the coolest.

Lol it's nothing to do with a gas lantern that's just the name of a vegging light cycle. 12-1 5-1 sum in along those lines. Gas lantern routine is the name it has on 420 and loads of other sites???

Id love to see a side by side comparison of this 'gas lamp' method. and see if it really improves yield/resin production.
Interesting idea, i have heard that leaving the ladies in the dark for 2 days before harvest can stress them into increased resin production

Over the years there have been many many tests done on this and other sites about different veg light cycles, how much light/how many hours of light/dark etc and there is never a noticeable difference between them (if you use the search feature in top right hand corner im sure you will find loads), just whack the light on 18/6 or 24/0 an leave it alone to do its thing

Again that has been tried and tested to death on this and other sites and no-one has ever been able to back up that claim absolutely one way or the other

What are your thoughts on 2 days darkness before harvesting.

Other than saving 2 days worth of electricity usage for your light ive never seen anything in the 5years ive been here that has PROVED an increase in resin production by giving them 2 days of dark before harvest and when you think of the amount of people on this site and how many of them grow houses full/work in dispensaries/have their own seedbanks etc if it was provable it would have been proved numerous times over the years but unfortunately it hasnt

A while ago there was a whole spate of people trying to prove this with identical clones in identical rooms etc an even they didnt see any noticeable difference

Myth 4. Stressing plants into more THC, Trichome production before harvest. Driving a nail through the stalk, a darkness period before harvest, dehydrating etc.....
BUSTED: Happy plants produce happy and healthy buds

I was under the impression that resin production may be a defense mecanism of the plant, as a way for pollen to be garenteed to adhere to buds or to protect the plant from attack.
When the plants are ready for harvest and thus end of their life cycle. So in my mind it makes sese that they may produce more resin as a last ditch attempt to get fertilized. Maybe my understanding/logic is wrong.

As far as im aware resin production is linked to the plant producing it to protect the plant from the sun/light , kinda like putting sun tan cream on before ya go out in the desert lol
