well tried the dark for four days on six plants in soil. They all showed significant frosting increase especially on four of the six. The other two seemed to flourish and had a bit more frosting but gave me the feeling they may not have been close enough to harvest. Five of the six were ones the thieves had mangled and it is hard to get a good estimate of the trichomes because it appears the trichs have lost alot of the spheres off there stems(which I assume is from being man handled) lots of trich stems many look like hooks but limited spheres.? But all in all I would say the 4 days of dark did wonders. Put the two back in flower along with two that frosted alot and harvested the other two frosted to get some comparisons. Biggest problem now for me seems to be determining when the plant is close to harvest time??? The Dark period before harvest DOES work!! Thanks Trummel and Hardon for the really good info.

Peace
