I personally do not.. not a 48 hour one.. if I am ready to harvest one, I’ll make sure it has a dark period before harvest but just it’s natural dark cycle..
So I never cut down during lights on.
If I can manage it, I’ll cut right before lights on but that’s usually early morning so I’ll
Often just take the plant the night before and put it in darkness for 12ish hours and chop after the 12 hour dark period.
I just have yet to see any definitive data showing any point in the 48 hour dark period.

If you have control of humidity and have no time to chop them - go for, but ...
In those 24 or 48 hours with daylight girls would bring out more trichomes production.
There was one study like 2 years ago, no accountable THC or Terps increase, first difference they got at 72 hours only, but it was minimal to be applied as technique.
I was using it for a bit, once brought bud rot in those dark and humid days, so started to read and value more ..
Not worth it in my mind.
All the Best !

I do darkness. I treat them the same as others. It's the final stressor, plus starts to letch chlorophyll out of plant. Would only do 48 hours though. Good luck and enjoy. Remember moving air 👍

@kirbyman68 48 hours is probably overkill I think anywhere between 12 and 24 hours of darkness before the chop will suffice
in reducing the amount of chlorophyl and hopefully help improve THC
I say hopefully because it is pretty much unproven science

I like to put any plant in darkness before the chop to build up the terpenes.
I don't know how much it really affects thc or any of that but the evidence of terpenes is there.
Still a personal choice.
If you mess up the dry or cure it won't matter if you helped preserve the terpenes they will all be lost anyway.
Good Luck!

"dunking" fabric pots in solution for feeding?I have recently been presented with the concept of "dipping": submerging fabric pot in solution for about 8 seconds and then picking up to drain. It is intriguing to me but I am curious about it causing overwatering or root rot. Thoughts?2 years ago

Sugar in feed water (every feed?)So the person I got clones off told me to add maple sugar to my feed water. 1-tbls a gallon .
Never heard this before and he didn't explain why. Does anyone do this ? N IF SO, what's the purpose of the sugar (said regular sugar would be fine also) do it every watering ?
