I heard turn the lights off for 3 days before harvest in a cold room i'd say somewhere between 50-65 sup they're supposed to form crystals in order to guard them from the cold, dont take my word for it tho cuz its just something i've read before, im still a noob myself..
Anyone else have any ideas?
Good luck bro

I have also heard/read about this.
The general idea is to sort of let the plants dry out the last few days, then right before harvesting you put them in total darkness for 1-3 days.
Alot of ppl swear by this method, and say it ups the potency...
Some say this does nothing, others say it detracts from the potency...
Me....I'd just harvest as regular...but let them dry out slightly the last 1-3 days. Just so the plants pull their extra strength into their flowers.

So as far as going 6 hours on and 18 off, I wouldn't suggest that. As far as going with MH during flowering, I think that is ok to do to get some additional UV-B radiation going on.. This is important because UV-B radiation has a direct effect of increasing THC. HPS, and LED's don't offer much (nothing for LED's) in UV-B. So now for the other suggestion of keeping the lights off for 1-3 days. I wouldn't suggest going 3 days. I think 24-36hrs is where you want to be. The idea is that you are tricking your plant into thinking it's natural life cycle is ending very soon so the plant does one more ditch effort to get pollinated and produces tons of resin. This resin doesn't mean the weed will be any stronger though. It just increases bag appeal.. UV-B is where it is at kids.... This is why the strongest weed will still be produced outdoors. Can't beat the sun still. But I prefer indoor as the consistency is just better.
One more thing.... If you try and use MH bulbs the last few weeks to boost UV-B, remember that if you are using an air cooled reflector, that the UV-B basically won't reach your plant as it is absorbed by the glass of the reflector.... Just my 2 cents.... Good luck...

You never know what you are going to get.. Remember that OG Kush is actually from Bag seed from a Greatful Dead Show. You may wind up with the craziest non-stable strain around or you may wind up with crap.. kinda like roulette.. You have to wait and see what happens..

Not necessarily, you just don't know what to expect with bagseed...with a breeders seed you know what traits you should have!

plants can't produce "tons of resin" in 36 hours. it takes weeks.
tricky doesn't a good bud make.
