it's not something you can tell with your eyes, unelss observeing all the trichomes and comparing aerial density and testing for potency... large samples with a control group to compare... until then, it's just some bro science. If you have a habit of believing in things on faith alone, this is a technique for you :P
Flowering is a long process... Nothing profound is going to happen in 48 hours even if it has a measurable effect... it will be a small effect if any at all..

Lights off for 48 is a final stressor. Anything longer and profile starts to suffer from it. The point is to trigger last minute defenses to slightly enhance potency. I have seen a scientific study a guy did and it did provide almost 2 percent increases with 48 of dark. Plus a better overall profile of bud.

Early signs of pre-flowerCan anyone with experience with auto flowers please let me know if the Auto Black Opium plant is too small to be in pre-flowering? Wondering if I still have another week to let her lower nodes come out before she goes into full blown flower. In terms of yield should I be worried?
