what's your experience, do you think 48 hours of darkness is worth the wait?

The theory of this comes from harvesting your plants before sun rise. Because trichomes plump up in the dark to get ready to protect themselves from uv rays. Also why plants need 4 hours of darkness when growing

I have tried it and not noticed any difference. Maybe helped it fade a bit quicker but that was all. Have a go so you can compare.

Some people say it is. The real issue is that there is now way to quantify it. People say it makes more trichomes. If it does it would have no time to make them milk or amber. I harvest after my 12 hrs of dark. If i have autos i give them 12-18 hrs of a dark period.

First Hydroponics Experience - Is it ready to harvest?Hi fellow growers!
45 days into flowering, It's a bag seed, no idea what strain it is, had a sample, seems to be dominant sativa. It's uplifting, it doesn't couch lock you.
Can it be really ready considering it's only 45 days into flow? The sample was OK!
