leave in the dark for 2 days?

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.

i did 32hrs before i flowered and i'm gunna do the same when i harvest next friday so i will let you know.i've also read about it and that many people say to do it so it must work

cheers guys. Cause ive only got 2 plants i might harvest 1 straight away then leave the other in the dark for 2 days??

you might aswell give them both 48 hours of dark, just incase you do see an improvement

yea i guess but i was also thinking about the hairs? if i should let 1 plant get more yellow hairs than the other? differnt high? ill be posting pics soon, think you'll be quite surprised at my first eva grow

this is my first to.2 different stains flowered both at 9 inches both were topped aswell.

cheers man had quite abit of help from this site

well from what i've read not all the time.i got a 30x loupe off ebay for 89p maybe should of got a 50x but i can see them and if i couldnt i would i have chopped last friday.i've still got some clear tric's and only the odd amber one that's not good.

just had a look at that post loads a help cheers dude better gat a mignified glass i think!!!

no prob's mate just passing on the help i've gotten.

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.

Right here we go people this is my first ever grown and all my set up!! white widow by the way. Comments please.
