Dark period and thrics maturing

EXZELENS

Do you think that a Dark Period helps the plant mature faster or get more potency? Also, thricomes develop on both periods or only on light or dark per se? Thanks!

Nope. Plants lose mass when deprived of light for long periods of time -- speaking of longer than a normal 24 hours cycle darkness of any common sense. Now, if the thc doesn't degrade, technically this would increase overal %Thc by mass, since there is less mass than before, but is that really a good thing if it does? long periods of deprevation can only have a net negative impact on quality. If it seems like the tops are slower to develop or fewer trichomes, it's likely being evaporated by heat or too much light. In these contexts you'll often hear anecdotal evidence that reducing light or depriving it of light had some positive impact on trichomes seen, but it was really self-inflicted problem to start. we can't make something mature faster with any product i've ever read about. We can only delay it or prevent it from completing or otherwise less than optimal result. Maybe, they'll devise some hormonal treatment that can speed it up in a statistically significant way?
