Taste and potency comes from genetics. Even having the strain does not garauntee taste or potency. You want potent tasty flowers ? Grow the healthiest plants possible. Lay off the nutrients. Use the correct amount of nutes and let the plant use up all the food at end of flowering. UV light. Plants in the dark, ice water . No science all urban myth. Actually there are studies(science) proving excessive UV lowers potency and overall plant health.

Grow healthy plants with quality light and Silica and forget the stupid stoner shit already

Only mold grow in the dark pass 24h... Maybe 24h good so the plant get rid of carbs in the plant and grow a little more trichomes and leaves during that time using the car s left over.... I guess 24h darkness is enough!

Instead of darkness I’ll keep stacking in the light until harvest. If this dark period theory has any benefit. Then it’s because you mimic nature’s effect as days shorten. So instead of setting up a mold factory at the end why not try decreasing the light period by 30 min in the last week or 2 . If the theory is to mimic what causes buds to get dense and sparkly then do that, maybe. But no way ice or that much darkness can produce a benefit that would outweigh the risk. Forget stressing the plant for that final few days, it would stress me worrying about screwing up a completed grow. Yikes , no thanks

Why anybody would want to stress their plants, in any way, right before harvest and after weeks/months of careful growing, is beyond me! Ice cubes are crazy and extended darkness will just cause the plants metabolism to slow severely, possibly leading to trichome degradation, not enhancement, and I personally can't see how these "techniques" would be of any benefit, in any way. Myths like these, made up by people who are too high to think clearly and possessing a basic lack of knowledge about how plants function, need to be taken with a grain of salt. I will never try these "techniques", but to each their own. If these things were true and did what they supposedly are able to do, breeders/growers/scientists would have been advocating for these types of manipulative stresses decades ago, and all backed by conclusive evidence. As such, myths like these, and the myth about the application of molasses, as well as the myth of growing 24/0, should all be buried and thought of as jokes, made up by those with limited intelligence. Like I said earlier, why anybody would want to stress their plants in any way, right before harvest and after weeks/months of careful growing, is beyond me.
