Light schedule - I am about a week off being ready...

420_Little_Green_Fingerzstarted grow question 5y ago

Light schedule - I am about a week off being ready to harvest. I currently have the lights on 24h. Should I introduce dark periods and or a 24/48h complete darkness before harvest? Thanks

This is going to spark mixed opinions. Some say dark periods are good and some say they decrease potency. I'm unsure which side is correct, you'll probably get a few different opinions and get to decide for yourself 😝

I’ve just attempted on my diary. I think it works especially getting those beautiful colours out of the plant. My 48 hours really brought out some purple and red tones to my buds. Which is probably mostly due to the less heat of lights. I believe there’s more resin as well but can’t say for certain. There’s no harm in doing it so why not try and see for yourself.

Snapped (Superscropped) autoglower Well, my idiot ass accidentally cropped (when you not break but flatten) the main stem during flower. The top of the stem. I did it before to photoperiods, but i wonder, will it make a lot of stress? If so girl could be a hermo? If so, could it affect other girls later?
