I was thinking to actually do the opersite by this i mean leaving the plant in 24hrs darkness before havesting... i remember reading this can help in the same way you said where the plant htink its life is over as it has no light. If you give the plant more light then wouldnt it think it was doing the opersite of dying?
i am noob but as i am about to chop two plants am intrested s=to see if i can do anything else to make them more potent!!
Go with 48hours darkness before harvesting bro! As this is a tested means of positive results and mine is merely a querie of what seems to be unexperienced so wouldnt try it yet untill someone else has! LOL! My reasons for thinking are the "Thinkin the end of the world is coming" Truely, if it was in the genetics to react to the end of the world, it wouldnt be dark, it would be full of light, exploding rocks of fires falling from the skys would light up. Uno? Im sure at the end of the world the lights dont just turn off and we all just go Ahh fuck it, we gave it our best shot, suppose we better jus go die now, Im sure theres a pretty big uproar in some badass shit that dosnt invole alot of darkness.
Infact one of the theories of how the end of the world will come to earth not specifically our species or generation but the planet on a whole is that the Sun will get too close to the earth and after time vapourize it.... Aliens Gon B Baked
But however, i think its just tricking the plant by just giving it extra time in the dark there for the hormornes activate for longer therefor leaving more thc in the buds.. No end of the world shit, although that would be kool genetics
