Perhaps folks can start doing research instead of asking the same questions for the same accounts to have the same arguments.
Will it trigger a fade, yes.
Is it sound logically, no.
I've done this each and every way for experience and can discuss the science behind it. Long story short, light does degrade trichomes and the plant has a daily cycle of repairing trichomes (this is the majority of your flowering period). The plants also have an incredibly accurate and well-establishing circadian rhythm. Anything you do to adjust the photoperiod is going to dramatically stress this natural rhythm.
The argument for doing this FOR fading is silly. you should be well into the very final days of your fade by now, so you're late and wrong if you do darkness for this.
If you just wanted to stress them go hit them right before harvest. Or throw ice in their solution. I wouldn't mess with the primary driver of their entire life for no reason.
Basically, if it involves dramatically changing things at the end...then you are growing wrong or going off bad (20-40 year old timer anecdote/'crack an egg yolk on your seeds and do a rain dance or it is mids' type) advice.
The balance is when to chop. If you are a fader (like me) then force a fade whenever you want by small changes in photoperiod (like shortening) or temperature changes in solution or air. Chopping at somewhere between the mid point of the established dark period and the noon-equivalent of the day period is the best time to harvest. Least free salts in tissue above the roots for the day and maximized potency on the daily cycle. I always turn my lights down at the end of the flowering period. I might be at 400 ppfd by then. Because I want to protect the trichomes I spent 4 months stewarding to the finish line.
none of this is complicated. The only complicated part is 100 folks with 1/100th of the science coming together to try to make a cohesive statement.
