Well to end my journey here on this thread, I guess some say its absolutely DEVASTATING to the plants to do this.
Some say theres scientific data to back it up that this does add girth to the already existing trichomes.
Well, I know from experience that its not DEVASTATINGLY DETRAMENTAL to my plants to do this. Its not destroying the wieght but adding wieght. Its not starving them because they get what they need from the semi-organic soil anyways. I get most of the color out the leaves and it smokes alot better than what it used to smoke like before the technique.
So in my experience, I love it. I'll always do this to them and continue to smoke the best tasting budz around.
Peace out fellow growers and good luck!

And come on dude.......Youve read through my grow journal and seen all the pics and still chime in to tell me something Ive known since before I even started growing.
I wrote that in an earlier post here that he quoted from me that Amber is THC degrading. I dont want all cloudy trichomes. I want some amber 10% is perfect for me. That last 5% amber comes from the last 4 days in the dark. YES I could just flower them out an extra 2 weeks to get that amber but it saves me a whole week and a half and I get the same results. So why not take 4 days to get the 5% more amber trichs then wait ing 14 days. It saves alot of time when I got 45 vegging plants ready to go into the flower room.

this is turning out to be an 18/6 24/0 type thing however 5000's plants do look good and if i never saw this post and just saw all his pics and his method i would do it in a heartbeat. i will still probably do a 3 day flush its my first grow ill admit a week is scary

This could easily turn into the mother of all argument threads.
In one corner we have the "you have to flush" crowd, in another the "flushing is starving" crowd.
In another corner we have the "darkness before harvest" crowd and in yet another we have the "no darkness" people.
Its like a battle royal with a mix of growers that range from uneducated and inexperienced noobs to long time experienced growers, some with commercial cannabis growing experience. Read the posts carefully it isnt hard to tell the difference

I'll put my non-flushed organic hydro vs your ridiculously flushed buds any time. LOL.

THC is produced in the dark, the point of the extended dark is to make as much as possible whilst its also not degrading in light. It doesn't add girth to the trics, nor does it add more, it adds extra THC to the chemicals already in the tric.
If you're leaving your plants in the dark in order to make more amber them you're doing the EXACT opposite to what you should be doing.
How can you possibly not understand this yet?!
EDIT: 45 plants under two 600watters?!

As it was posted much earlier, the method may have some factual bases. Overall though the OPs reasoning and methods are flawed and reporting of the results are distorted by POS......

I wasn't trying to argue with bricktop. I was just interested in the study. Cannabis does a lot of weird things right before and after the "optimal harvest point." Just trying to see what are some of the things it does and why.

Thanking him for making more myths and expanding on ones that already exist? Yeah, thanks but no thanks.

Maybe he should have started with a before and after pic instead of just an after pic in the original post. May have added some more credibility to his claims. After shots are all weve seen in this thread, nothing prior. Boasting and only showing the results with no preface to the grow just makes it more forum hype...besides the actual scientific studies provided by some.....

It's good to see people who know what they're talking about. Reassuring really. The only way to know if something is better is to compare results.

Yet this "scientific data" is elusive and can never be found. I found that 99% of folks that use the word "scientific data" are using so called science from some guy who writes on a pot-forum or just made it up them selves altogether.
I don't know if THC is only made at night (more "science"), but I have seen auto-flowering plants with no dark period being grown on some wild journals. Lots of BS to wade through.
I have tried harvesting with a dark period of three days and it did little to improve anything (other then to make me wait for three more days). If I don't flush (with room temp RO water) my weed does not taste as good. My wife won't smoke my unflushed bud.
The question is, who is right? I am pretty sure the folks going at it on this thread are growing some quality weed (regardless of side taken). Perhaps both methods have some merit. The answer: Have an open mind and give the different methods a try, then see how it effects your harvest. It only matter if this is your first and last harvest.

I read through the SIMMs article, it is legit and they used a Gas Spectrometre to confirm their results from large sample groups...full scientific method shit like
Problem is the website is down now cos I believe the Government cut their funding after a while (cos you can just buy cannabis basically anywhere in Holland, Medical cards weren't taken up by people).
