I decided to try one with 48 hours darkness before harvest and one with out the darkness period .the one I didn't give darkness to seems to have more flavour but could just be the difference in plants itself but definitely tastes better

Yeah I do. Google it—- there was a terpene test done after and it was favorable to the 24 hour darkness.

Hi Brownbuds69 I personally give mine a 10-12day water only and then shut my lights down by 1hr every 2days from 18hrs light down to min of 12hrs by the end of Flushing then place them into complete darkness for 2days and and do my Trimming from there onwards I've always had a lovely smoke i feel it gives her time to shut down.. I've tried no darkness and 2days of darkness and imo I'd rather when they have bn in darkness...this is with autos good luck and good harvest growmie 🍃🍁

gmslave answered grow question 8 seconds ago I never bother with a dark period. There is no noticeable difference. I use to get my bud tested., and tested dark schedule before harvest to no darkness before harvesting. No difference in the levels I found. But hey, to each his own... Cheers
