Does 72 hrs of darkness really increase the potency of the Trichomes/THC by up to 25%
Newbiegrower420started grow question 4 years ago
Hi everyone! Can you give me your opinions on doing a dark period just before harvest? Some ppl do 72 hrs, some less and some none at all. Can I get your reasoning for the method you use? And any other helpful info on the subject would be greatly received!

Organomananswered grow question 4 years ago
Nothing you do can increase the potency of the THC in your plants, as this is entirely determined by genetics. The only thing that anyone can do, is to provide the best environment for your plants to grow in as this enables your plants to perform to their optimal level. I personally do not believe in stressing my plants, as this can have negative effects on your plants, and why people would keep their plants in total darkness after months of careful growing is bewildering. I prefer to harvest my plants very early after they get light, approx 2 hours of light, just enough to get there metabolism started in day mode. Hope this helps.

Ya, I’m with @ORGANOMAN I’ve heard of people doing this, but I’ve never thought to try it cause it just seems like another one of those myths that people think helps. I mean if you do it and you get awsome buds afterwards, great.... but if you
would have had her in 2-3 more days of intense light don’t you think it would look just as great, if not better? Lol but like I said, never tried it, but for sure it won’t boost THC levels by 25%, I would say it would stress it for sure and maybe in theory make it push more, but I’m guessing it will more then likely go the other way and slow down being confused with no light. Just my opinion though, maybe someone who actually does this can chime in? Lol Cheers💨

MarsHydro FC-E (FC) series chip-panels protected from corrosion ?Hi,
about mars-hydro fc-e (fc) series:
Are the chips now protected (glass, plexy, acryl ..), for example like a SANLight-EVO or SecretJardin TLED ?
Asking because the old series (mars-hydro ts, sp) have no protection causing corrosion with high humidity.
I have up to 90 rh

The spiralI've been staring at these girls for ages, it's better than TV.
Do you think they talk to each other? The height of each one is 10cm different and they're growing in a perfect spiral, as if to give each other canopy space.
Looks like the golden ratio in action

How to enter Cup Contests?Growmies... it seems silly to ask since I haven't even entered a diary of the Month yet. However, how does someone enter a Cannabis Cup (Generally speaking). Like... do you have to be there? Yada, Yada. Can anyone enter? I realize each contest has it's own rules. Just curious.

Did I start flushing too early?I started flushing this plant on day 42 of bloom, and in just a week, I noticed a big change in the colouring. For future reference, I would like to hear from you guys if you think I started flushing too early. Also, how long do you think this plant has until harvest - 14 days?
