What to do before harvest?

@NobodysBuds, thx for detailed answer, I am pretty sceptical about those methods as well, as there's a lot of articles online, but none provide any scientific, or experimental data, what I've read is that the plant produces more resins, when it "knows" it's gonna die😕 As for the flushing, I was reading about experiment, that pretty much concluded, that there's practically no difference in THC, terpenes and other contents of a plant, so in the end the biggest benefit is saving few bucks worth of nutes, and that's enough for me😎 Anyway, guess I'll go with my initial plan - my girl's going down tommorow😈

i've heard of studies using proper equipment that says it can increased % THC... however, how much is lost in meantime? if a plant has less than 20dli give or take per day it contracts. it will not gain mass.. it will lose mass. The lack of increased evaporation is the whole idea behind it. initial studies are dangerous. most are later proven wrong -- upwards of 90 %. this wasn't even a scientific study, but likely employed some basics of the scientific method. you don't have that type of lab equipment without the degrees to make use of the data they give. without water? why? a plant will hold roughly the same amount of water at any one time. Maybe a bit less in dark? since it droops? but give or take.. temps and rh control flow from roots to transpiration in leaves... it may speed up or slow down, but the plants holds roughly the same amount as long as water is available in substrate. Secondly, you may not want to hasten a drying period that could already be short -- how is your environment? if dry and warm, you don't want to do this, for sure. it's not going to provide much benefit, so stick to keeping plant healthy over starving it of water. i'd rethink the whole flush thing as all the reasons previously given as to why it is a mush has pretty much been debunked by good science. doesn't reduce minerals, doesn't improve taste, just doesn't... do shit. it's some anecdotal nonsense that was never proven, possibly like the darkness thing.. i have tried the darkness thing.. the plants sure do look frostier, lol. i've never done 48 hours, though. i typically just turn off timers the night before harvest. that way the plant isn't producing sugars through photosynthesis and if the darkness allows a few more triches to develop, so be it. several plants with different bloom times and i don't bother at all.. jsut pull them out as the time comes.. small potatoes either way. 1 day out of 8+ weeks is not going to make or break a harvest.

Boa noite. Há um youtuber chamado "Mr grow it" que tem um podcast, e num dos episódios ele entrevista um cientista que responde a esse mito. Ele diz que não há provas científicas de que as 48h de escuridão sejam benéficas, e ainda afirma que 48h de luz é melhor para a produção de tricomas. Mas nada como experimentares. bless
