how long can a plant sit without light. growing white widow and both nirvana and dinafem say to leave the lights off for the last 2 weeks of growth to get the crystals you want. seems like a long time to go without light for a plant but ive seen this from 2 different breeders on the same strain. thanks guys!

Wow, two weeks. can you post a link where you read that? thats a hell of a long time.
Most I have read was something like 7 days and I thought that was insane. I do zero days with out lights. I just harvest before the lights come on.

From that link:
Try to turn the lights off altogether the final 2 weeks of the flowering cycle- or at least down to 8 hours.
IMO, there's a huge difference between 0 hours of light for two weeks and 8 hours a day. Also they just say "try". Well, you can "try" eating a hotdog through your asshole, but that doesn't make it a good practice.

well i understand that it says or at least 8 hours but it says to try and keep them off altogether. and i also understand them to tell you to try is just that, trying. but if they are the breeders they should know what they are talking about right? its THEIR plant.

but thats why im here asking. that doesnt sound right

OMG I cannot stop laughing at this!!! Too GD funny! I'm thinking about turning my lights down to 8-10hrs. I wouldn't recommend putting them completely in the dark tho!!
