I tried the extended dark period last year and didnt really see much of a diffrence to be honest i think its an old stoners wifes tale bout panicing into producing more thc lol.
Ill take the whole plant wen i take it, so it is what i got instead of part of.
Johnny u liking the cheese then, its a beautifull smoke that does exactly what u want it to do. I was so tempted wen i see all the cloudy trichs on the uk cheese. I go and have a smell every day lol.

Yeah, I've never done it. I understand the theory behind it but all these 'name brand' strains are pretty damn potent as it is, so I don't really know how much more potent you can make the shit by adding more darkness before a chop.
The way I see it is, if the plant is frosted over with resin and ready to pull, then it's going to be a prime smoke no matter when you take it.

Why is it you love the 'cheese' so much Westy? Taste? High?

I have some Barneys Blue Cheese I got up a month or so ago which I gave to my brother to grow out at his place. He turned to 12/12 this week so I look forward to having a taste of it in a couple of months time. Have you tried the Barneys?

It might not be to everyones taste but i like to get fucked up wen i smoke a joint, of the many strains ive tried over the years cheese fucks me up the best. Its smell and taste alone put ww in theshade in my opinion but ww is a close second.

if i take a taste test it eans im hard up which means it doest get cured propperly. then once ive decicrated ma babies ya start thinking well ive already taken a little bit fuck it that tiny bit more wont hurt... the whole tie smoking some so it makes the finalk product lose novelty for me (even if i dried and cured it that is too tho ive already smoked it and tried some) but thatsjust me... if it even makes sense lol

I agree.
Always make preparations for the pre-harvest suspense, anticipation.
I would rather buy and smoke some mediocre shit, just to suffice, than prematurely chew into, a prime harvest.

Preparation, it's so damn important.
