48 hours of darkness before harvest ?
GrowingGrannieanswered grow question 3 years ago
There's really no mystery about it - it's just what it says! 48 hours before you want to harvest, turn off all light (but keep your fans/humidifiers/vents/etc) running. When 48 hours are up, you're good to chop!
This is an exciting time for you! Have fun - your grow looks absolutely amazing!

Simplify it just harvest in the morning before lights come on and cook the crap out of your resin glands

It is crap.
48 hours of darkness just stops the plants metabolism.
A plant with stopped metabolism will not be able to prevent THC breaking down. Fact.
Do not do it.

darkness before harvest slightly increase thc but significantly reduce terpene concentration.
(baked with lab result: www.youtube.com/watch
if you doesn't have a you tube account i have a screenshot of the results in this diary:

i personnally prefer having more terpene over few thc %

Its a big fat myth but some people like to do it.
It says it helps build up terpenes in the plant and cannabinoids. but not by anything significant if it even does.
The increased smells are influenced by the tent being colder with lights off and the terpenes building up in higher concentrations.
Do normal lights off and chop next day whenever without turning them back on. Does not need to be 48hrs.
Dry/Cure works best in darkness and lower temps with stable RH around 50-60%
Good Luck!

Ready for flushing?It’s my first grow and I’m not quit sure if I’d already flush the plant. And how long do you all think I should keep it growing from now on?
As autumn already hit and the weather will be cloudy and not warmer than 15*C over the day. ( Installed a light and it’s in an greenhouse)

Outdoor Hempy Bucket fertilizer use?Added perlite and clay mix to a 10L outdoor hempy bucket, with Skunky Lady on top. Curious about hydroponics fertilizer use outdoors, should it be added early or wait for some growth when the roots hit the reservoir? Seems like it would be wasted if I add it early on....

Yellowing Budsights Early Fower (organic grow)I fed the plants yesterday and noticed that it was too warm in the tent. (86F)
So I change the light time to 9pm-9am.
As a result, the plants had 24 hours of darkness in the tent.
When I turned on the light today I noticed that some of the buds had yellowed.
pH (soil): 7,8-8,4
