Hey guys im on my first grow, I've got about 3 weeks of flowering left till I crop, Ive been reading that people say its a good idea to turn your lights off for 48-72hrs before you crop to induce resin? is this correct?

i think it is, im not sure but when i harvested i gave 42 hours before cutting

if it does induce resin its not by much only by an extra 2%, but supose every last little bit is worth it.

2 days before harvest is good, they think the season is over (cuz of no light for 2 days) and its going to be winter, knowing they will die, they release all the stored up resin from them.
