To all the regs of the board. I believe everyone has there own way of growing and we all brag of it, But we must respect each others theories . I dont judge a theory till i have tried it out . You never know you might learn somthing. As far as the darkness try it. I know for fact. that the royal queen autos. Finished out much stronger after 48 ours of darkness. compare to prior grows of the same genetics. But that is not saying it will work for (example) Afgan kush ryder. It work well from what i see with the autos best. Must have somthing to do with finishing fast ? Not to change the subject but whats your theory on that!
