I'm ready to chop this weekend, how many of you leave the plants in darkness for 48 hours before chop? Does it make a difference or is it Bro-science?

Oh boy there is going to be a big fight here that goes on for pages, I can feel it. After years people are gonna come back and argue, I can feel it in my bones. Or maybe im still tripping well see

I think its broscience tho, if there are any studies would like to see never tried it.

Go ahead. If you have 2 plants of the same strain or even better 2 clones of the same mother, try it with only one and your question will be answered for good. Good luck bro!

Fifteen years ago my group of friends tried this after hearing about it. Over a year of growing alternating between doing it and not, we all felt the same, it was a benefit, we couldn't explain it, quantify it but we all felt the same. I've done it ever since. I suggest trying it for yourself and compare.

I don't think this idea even reaches the level of bro science, this is more like an old bro's tale.

Only reason I even considered it to be possibly true is because of an article I read. Guy harvested the same plant in different stages, no darkness, 24 hours darkness, 48 hours darkness, and 72 hours darkness, and sent them off to a lab, and he found that the 24-48 hours of darkness were more potent than the samples with no darkness. He also said that more than 48 hours the potency actually drops, so 48 hours was the sweet spot. But was it really a noticeable difference while smoking it, or was it only detectable by lab results

I am going to give her a couple of days of darkness since I'm not chopping until this weekend, so I have the time to do it, and if it can't hurt, and possibly might help, then why not. Nothing to lose
