Is this TRue?

interesting, my girls at the moment showed sex over night and I kept the light cycle the same

i didnt say that there werent things you could do... just that darkness before harvest is a myth

yes, it is true that thc production is much higher at night, however, that higher thc production peaks and falls within 12 hours or less of darkness.... so while it is best to harvest your crop right at the beginning of its light cycle, the difference is not notable, and my point was that leaving the plant in darkness for 2-3 days will have no greater effect than just making the chop at the right time of day... you would get more thc content by letting the plant have those extra 2 or 3 days of regular light cycles, unless of course you have already let the plant mature too far

Perhaps prior to stating darkness prior to harvest is myth, you should do a side by side experiment.

Actually many stress right before harvest can be done to increase the THC% of the plant flower section by up to 3.5%....

Such as:

very cold temperature of around 52 - 56 Degrees for the last week. Not only will this allow your plants to produce more THC and move to the flower only, but it will also allow your weed to turn beautiful shades of purple and dark reds.

(thats why many people who grow indoor exotic blueberry or other strains dont get the color they expect. You can only achieve this, generally, with the temps in the range I gave. You cannot get the true purples and blues and dark hues in normal temp range.)

Waterless stress is another shock treatent you can use to kick up the THC production. FOr the last 10 days prior to harvest, you can feed to the plant just enuff water to keep it alive day to day.

Just enuff so that if you missed a day it would wilter and keel over. YOu will lose about 10 - 15% total dry harvest weight with this method, but the end result will be stronger weed.

TOtal darkness and other stresses are not just myths. They are dangerous to the crop and the harvest, but, done properly, just as described, will indeed force the plant(s) to secrete more THC laden resin to be excreted as the plant attempts to preserve the flower... ALL PLANT FUNCTIONS ARE NOW SPENT ON FLOWER PRESERVATION.

DO not call myth what you havent tried personally yourself.

Growing is an art. Yes, you follow the fundamentals, but the plant is versatile enough to allow you great lattitude in your experimentations.

How you grow is indeed an expression of your artistic talents, if you feel confident enough to experiment.

There are few things better than smoking your own clean weed, that you have raised and cared for while riding the super fine line between success and failure.

It is the ultimate thrill to sit here stoned off my gord because I researched and experimented. Lose the focus on quanitity and focus on quality. In the end, you smoke less and stay higher for longer periods.

And you are the envy of all your smoking friends because somehow, you always have the best shit around.

Cheers as I dissappear into the inner world of stonerism and I will see you again, one day....

Peace and love,

and Merry Christmas,
