There was a thread similar to this not too long ago (started by myself I believe) I was wondering what people thought about me changing the light cycle to 12:30/11:30 and Doctor Cannabis mentioned that during the night the plants produce trichomes, which in turn during the day protect the plant against UV rays/heat and what not. The last 72 hours in dark is for potency/trichome production etc.

He also kills the lights for 72 hours right before harvest, says it increases flavor and coloring dramaticaly. I don't know about the 72 hour thing, that kind of scares me, but I'm going to try the 13/11 thing.

you mind pullin gout the article in wich you read this im interested now, as far as the 72 hrs light off at the end ive done it it does increase some thc but not significantly, but the taste changes. Also 48 hr darkness going into bloom speeds things up by about a week as it sends them into bloom really quickly. Ive done 11 on 13 off for the last 10 days before as soon as i started my flushing and ive had good results.

by keeping your humidity levels low during those last 72 hrs is the key to success not only does it prevent bacteria and mold but it also helps dry out the soil so its not so heavy to throw out and helps with the drying of your nugs as the plant gets alot of its juiced dried out, making curing much more easier and faster.
