Has anyone seen any positive effects from keeping your plants in darkness a few days before harvest? I've heard it help resin production and ripening...
I'm 5 days away and wondering if it'll help.
Thanks
CB

I tryed the 48 hrs dark just before harvest, no visual results. Herb did taste better than other lady that was harvested. So now I just harvest just before light on so all the garbage is in the roots and not being uptaked into buds.

The Stichting Institute of medical marijuana (SIMM), the first company to sell marijuana through the pharmicies of Holland, has been investigating the medical possibilities of cannabis, together with TNO laboritories and the University of Leiden.

One of their discoveries has been that to keep the ripe plants in the dark before harvesting could increase their potency.

SIMM's growers seperated a crop of mature plants, harvested half of them and kept the other half in absolute darkness for 72 hours before cutting and drying.

Analysis of the resulting dried buds showed that some varieties had seen increases of THC of up to 30 %, while the CBD and CBN remained the same.

I heard that keeping the plant in 48 hours darkness tricks it into thinking winter is coming, so it puts all its energy reserves into the buds.

Where is my mind?

Been doing alot of my own tests with this it definately makes the weed more potent simply because like the earlier post stated they think its winter and they are about to die so it pushes all of its energy to the buds and what makes it even better if your flushing with water (no nutrients) the last week but i will say this the best results i had was 72 hours of darkness i even went as far as 120 hours but the difference wasnt noticable so i would say stick with 72 hours of darkness before harvest just my 2 cents thanks and happy smoking

Thanks Stoners! I'm in 24 hours of darkness now, let you know how it worked out.
