Default 48 hours dark before harvest?
permalink
I read that it increases potentcy to give the flowering plant 48 hours of darkness right before harvest. Is there any truth to this?

I would say that it doesn't increase potency, so no. But I have nothing other than personal observations to go by, and I did no scientific testing.

While I tried it only once, it was with strains that I am very familiar with, and the personal testing that I did should have some significance.

What effect it did have was to possibly make the buds ripen up some, or at least appear to be more ripe. Nothing more.

Since then, I choose to give my plants as much light as possible daily right up until the Day of Joy.
