48 hours of darkness in a bucket of water?
Agricola_Borealisstarted grow question 3 years ago
I once heard about 36 or 48 hours of darkness before harvesting, but my plants are standing in the ground. But.....you can keep branches alive for ages in a bucket of water. Now some branches I did not trim yesterday seem to get frostier.

No don't keep them alive in a bucket of water, You will want to harvest right before the sun rises. The reason for the darkness is during the day the plant collects energy from the sun. At night any leftover energy is used up. It will help with the curing process as the plant is not full of energy that has to break down. But it is not worth the hassle for the amount of gain you get. Nothing has been proven scientifically yet. There have been studies that show both yes and no answers. Every study I have seen that is more then 36h darkness has had either no effect or negative effects. Tests that have been done for 18-24h have shown the best results if any.
Happy Growing
