Harvest...Dark or Light

[Shovelhandle]

The pot I tried is very, very good. However, I don't have a control model for "no extra dark time"

gorge cervantes recomends 24 hours of darkness, then harvest in the morning

Yeah he says that people claim a dark period can help, but there's no proof of this only word of mouth.

I'm more interested in if the dark period can hurt the plant at all. I did that with my first plant (24h) and was going to do 36-48h for the second one as well. I just watered her today though so I have a couple days to think about it.

If it can't hurt, then shit I say go for it. If it does something, cool. If not, who cares.

Good info, and for the skeptics...

1) They reported an increase of 30%, which does not mean that a strain with 20% THC will jump to 50%, but that it may jump up to 26%.

2) Everything I've read supports the facts that light degrades THC, and the best time to harvest is after a dark cycle. The only thing that seems unproven is if an extended dark cycle helps. Doesn't seem to hurt at all though.

Read the info you can find... make up your own mind. One day I'm just going to have to do an experiment myself, but till then I think I like the extended dark cycle at the end.
