I agree about the darkness for days before harvest. I tried it again just recently to prove to a r/l friend there is no difference, even leaving one plant in full darkness for 5 days! All were White Russian and after drying and laying out all 3 samples of the W.R.'s (1 "regular", 1 at 2 days in darkness and 1 in 5 days) neither one of us could tell the difference even under a 300x microscope. But it did no harm either so this is one experiment that won't hurt to try. Perhaps your outcome might be different but I doubt it. I've done this before with same results using a different strain.
