Lights Out.....Why?

[keeko]

science ?

I have actually read from a Hight TImes ( i give no credibility to them) that Dr. Atomic prefers to give a 3 day dark period at the end of the harvest because it 'tricks the plant into thinking that its about to die and needs to try and grab the last bit of pollen from the air to try and survive' (not exact quote but close to what he says, ask me tomorrow and i will type the exact words of D.A.....too sleepy now)

my own opinion is that if i were to try it myself i would think i would not notice any difference than if i harvested normally(which i do)

Again, looking for input from those smarter than I (or at least more experienced): I've heard of turning the lights out on a grow at the very end and letting them finish in darkness for the last (24,48,72?)hrs. I'm not able to uncover any documented information on the subject (which in itself is surprising, as Jorge Cervantes never seems at a lack for something to say on any subject.) Nonetheless, is there some school of thought that I'm missing here? Anybody feel strongly one way or the Rating: 5
