ummm, sorry, but i gotta shoot this one down. the method being discussed is to be done AT HARVEST. this means that the buds are ripe and ready to be cut. not premature or underdeveloped. exposure to light breaks down thc. this is why you harvest just before the lights come on. an extended dark period DOES increase thc levels, but by miniscule amounts.

as for resin not catching pollen, sorry, also false. two of the MAIN reasons for resin is to "hold" seeds in place, and to help catch pollen. the pistils collect pollen, and a seed is made
i mean the buds would be premature if you did it at harvest, and dont say they wouldnt..

well actually ive heard THC while its on the plant reacts well to UVA and UVB light, so how can that be degrading it? light degrades it when u dry it out..

pistils catch pollen, resin doesnt.. its not there for holding in seeds either..
resin is there so bugs wont eat the seeds...

this sounds like a surefire way to induce (note spelling) hermieism.... why alter the light cycle before harvest?

sorry ab, but you need to reread a little...
actually no, towards the end of a weed plants life in nature, days get alot shorter, therefore increasing the amount of darkness, there are also guides about changing light cycles, in which you have longer dark periods, which in turn make buds bigger, and extends time till harvest, so it can be done..

maybe your just too worried about hermies... i dunno.. i havent had any problems before... surely if it was gonna hermie it already would have...

im not gonna argue... so just forget it..
