It's update day, here we go.
After continued research, here's a quote from bricktop.
For about the hundredth time on this site ....
"The Stichting Institute of Medical marijuana (SIMM), the first company to sell marijuana through the pharmacies of Holland, has been investigating the medical possibilities of cannabis, together with TNO laboratories and the University of Leiden.
One of their discoveries has been that to keep the ripe plants in the dark before harvesting could increase their potency.SIMMs growers separated a crop of mature plants, harvested half of them and kept the other half in absolute darkness for 72 hours before cutting and drying. Analysis of the resulting dried buds showed that some varieties had seen an increase of THC of up to 30%, while CBD and CBN remained the same."
I am far from an expert on this and further advice would be appreciated. Giving the chlorophyl a chance to slow their photosynthesis seems like a good idea but I do not have any sources on this. It probably wont make too much of a difference either way.
So let's give it a try! This morning at lights off, the fixture was unplugged. If harvested on tuesday at what-would-be lights on, Ms. Headband will spend 36hrs in darkness. Happy Experimenting.
The last watering was on Friday, so she'll be dry and ready for harvest. Hopefully 35% humidity in complete darkness will not cause mold and just in case, extra circulation fans were added.
Since this is usually photo day, here's a teaser.
it is tempting though, I hear big bud is a massive yielder. in the reg seeds section I also got a few bagseeds from some really good smoke I had like 8 months ago.
