• Does anyone do 48 of light or darkness right before harvest?

      • One thing to remember, most growers are high lol. I don’t believe the buds are ” protecting” themselves. If anything they are trying to become sticky to catch some pollen. Annual plants really have only 1 mission, to reproduce.

      • Bruce Bugbee has numerous recent talks saying it makes no sense to do it. On the contrary he has stated intense light at the end to finish might be worth it, but darkness at the end is counterintuitive to what the plants want.

      • No. It’s BS. Plants can’t photosynthesize without light…This method is supposed to “boost resin” or make more trichomes… I’ll know older free market growers that still do this bc the bud “smells louder” according to them. They still flush, too. Lol.

        We humans are so clever we trick ourselves sometimes into thinking we do it better than nature. 😆

        • In terms of increasing light hours, Rasta Jeff has been touting 18/6 the last two weeks of flower… Supposed to finish faster. Forgot to address both parts of the question. The darkness triggered me.😅😅

          • According to Robert C Clark, cannabinoïd biosythesis continues for a day or two after harvest…maybe that has been proven wrong since then, but you get the point.
