im gonna have to say my plant i did this to last grow showed visual recognition of this theory. i put them in dark for 72 hours... im pretty sure their energy is spent after that.

wtf is "visual recognition"?

what about the plant you didn't do it to?

energy is "spent"? they'd make more if you turned on a light. :bigjoint:

Pretty sure I learned the Scientific Method for testing hypotheses somewhere around 5th grade. It is pretty straightforward, involves limiting variables, using a control group, etc. If you want to know if something works or doesn't work, you kinda need to use this approach.

Sorry to say, but doing anything to a single plant without any form of control to compare against can not provide any conclusive results.

Here is a link to basic instructions for testing theories. http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_scientific_method.shtml

I know it may seem retarded to some, but unless you're willing to trust a few lines of text behind an avatar as definitive truth and never question it, then this is how you should conduct an experiment properly.
I think you made your point 2 posts ago.....
 
well, i guess i wont do it to my big ladies but i have just put a few of the little clone christmas trees in the dark that have about a week till i harvest them , i guess ill see if there is a difference between the ones i shock and the ones i dont. with pics and smoke report of course. here is a few more pics for the fuck of it, sorry about the time/date stamp- no im not from the future!

so whatever happened here with the test?
i have a white rhino almost 6 weeks into flowering, been feeding biobizz bio bloom and black strap molasses and the plant has gone pretty yellow altough the bud leaves are still green...bu many fan leaves have gone yellow and fallen off and i'm wondereing if this poor plant will actually even make 8 weeks. Anyways i was planning on giving only cold water feeds n the last week and then total darkness of 48 hours just before i chop her down. I'll post a pic tomorrow maybe someone can tell me if i should harvest before 8 weeks because i'm running out of leaves on a daily basis here....

hahaha, are you sure? there are alot of folks saying this shit works...

i mean there must be some truth to this,
are there any spliff/myth busters out there that can put this one to bed once and for all?

well I just seen this on Seedsman seed White Widow
It's suggested to flower (12 hour light) this marijuana variety for 8 weeks, but 10 weeks will really give you the crystals you are after. Try to turn the lights off altogether the final 2 weeks of the flowering cycle- or at least down to 8 hours. This keeps the flowers from re-growth and stresses the plant into giving up its last drop of goodness as crystal to protect the flower! The buds have so much THC on them that it is hard to see them at all.

They even claim that a darkness period at the end will give more crystal's
but 2 weeks seems like alot of darkness

I got to try it and see for my self I have found 2 very reliable source's that claim that it works
I will be ready to harvest some Mazar on or around April 5
and I will take picture of normal one before harvest and
I will put 1 in total darkness for 72 hours and will take pictures of it when it comes out
 
it's all bullsh*t.
Quality nutes are a waste of money Miracle Gro works just as good, nutrients dont work anyway.
And topping is just a myth, yea right 2 more shoots will grow in its place...yea ok!
Cloning is total bullshit, what year is this 3015? Sure, yea, cut off a branch and itll grow roots, ha!
Additives are just a big scam too, bloom boosters and beneficial bacteria??? Yea Im sure those little germs are just swimmin around in your soil havin a good ol time!
I cant believe you really think a pot plant will grow out of that little seed, how stupid can you be!
Flushing is a total waste of time too, and whats this curing crap about? You idiots really think there's a magic trick ta make your bud smoke better after harvest???
I keep tryin ta tell you guys nothing works, everything is bullshit, every single growing technique on the planet is a myth. Shit plants dont even exist, its all a big conspiracy!

Man do you have any idea how fuckin annoying that shit is??? I switched to another forum because we seemed ta be building up a huge surplus of negative assholes here, now I cant even google "weed" w/out seein 10 dickhead posts from some douche on RIU that serve no purpose other than cloggin up a perfectly good thread and puttin down people tryin ta learn!

Every other fuckin post youve got somethin smart ta say about this damn shock ripening shit, you got 50 freakin posts in this damn thread and aint said nothin! And Ill bet my left testicle that you cant show us a single drop of evidence that disproves this methods credibility! But that's right your one of those know it alls thats been blessed with infinite wisdom so you dont need ta do any research, you just know just because right? This guy's a regular Steven fucking Hawking...
But if ya really think about it, all the facts point to this "shock ripening" being total bullshit anyway! Shock to a plant during flower definitely doesnt trigger a defense mechanism that increases trichome/resin production in an effort to protect itself. There's def no evidence of that, and none of the major authorities in Canabis Cultivation support this either!
But even if shock did cause a pot plant to increase resin/trich production, this "SHOCK ripening" still wouldnt work. I mean think about, ice cold water flushing the roots definitely wouldnt cause any kind of shock to a plant, there's just no fuckin way! And what kind of idiot would think that totally fuckin up a plants photo period would cause shock either???
Yea guys there's absolutely no possible way that this could work, it just doesnt add up. :wall:
Oh yea and if any of yall woud like to come to a site where there's not a negative asshole waiting ta criticize you on every thread and the members are actually serious about growing and not just about talkin shit and puttin people down, come to the farm youll like it.

the best way to get good bud is to grow a good plant. there are no magic tricks at the end.
i think you would know about this fdd2blk youv'e seen my pics on your want to know if your plants are ready thread so im thinking of doing this cold water and lights out shock ripenining technique in your oppinion should i do it is it worth it im growin a gteenhouse bigbang and seedsman mamamia
