I too have read about this "shock treatment" or as some call it "Shock Ripening" and I am planning on trying this out. I have one question about it though. Do you wait till the buds are ready for harvest and then do the shock ripening? Or do you start the shock ripening 3-5 days before you think the buds are ready?

Sorry for the belated reply, I forgot to subscribe to my own thread. :i feel stupid:
