Prolly more like wishful thinking.

No need for extended darkness though, just filter out the UVb.

Here's why.
Hemp grows new trichs everyday.
UV burns some of them off, every sunny day.

Keep packin' 'em on and don't burn any off, whuddaya get?

That's why LEDs grow such frosty buds.

Figured this out years ago.
Had a li'l patch of meds in Pacifica and the same strain in San Jose.
The Pacifica patch got fogged in for 10 straight days.
The SJ gals had full sun.
Surprised the hell out of me when the sungirls were just OK but the "other foggers" knocked on my skull from da inside!:stoned:

Whipped out my microscope and 'scoped.
Lotta empty stalk on Sun tanned ones.
Carpet of capped trichs on da fogged up gals.
All cloudy too.
That accidental observation is why I jumped on growing with LEDs

Now I roof my greenhouse grow with a UV filtered polycarbonate as well.
And it has the same effect!

More resin is retained as the the new resin is being secreted.

Try it, you'll see.
Disagree?
Show me the error of my ways.
