    Preflowering Question (Darkness Times)

    I'm starting one of my plants to flower i know i should really wait a while longer but i'm impatient lol and i figure it'l be good practice for my main plant flowering.
    Just wondering on the advantages and disadvantages of giving it 36 hours darkness then starting the 12/12 cycle. I've heard it makes it increase resin production and makes a stronger smoke but u get smaller buds anyone know if thats right?

    You MUST have patience friend. If growing teaches you anything, it's patience.

    I have never heard of giving the plant 36hrs darkness before switching to 12/12 because at that point there is pretty much NO resin on the plants. I think you may have it backwards, you want 24-36hrs of darkness before you give her the final cut, at the end of flowering. I have done this only once as suggested by Hard-On. I don't know yet because she is still drying/curing so I couldn't tell you if it has increased potency or not. But I'm pretty sure you do the 36hrs of darkness at the end of 12/12, not the starting, it just makes no sense to me.
