A friend of mine suggested that at harvest time, I cut the plants down, then leave them in for one more 12 hour light period.

I have never heard of this and was looking to hear what others have to say, yay or nay?

I did some searching and this is what i've found around the board:

1.) light breaks down THC...therefore an extra light period after cutting them down would actually decrease potency, that's why they are dried and cured in darkness.

2.) some actually suggest total darkness for anywhere between 24 and 36 hours before harvest.

I guess that's pretty much all I've found.

can anyone confirm or deny any of this?

thanks,
Skeet
