Well why would it explode? Thats a pretty silly thing to say, but silly seems to be the them in this failure of a thread. I left your cookie i the sun and it melted, its on the way in the mail regardless. Good job, you failed to do a single thing but repeat what I had already posted, and accuse me of copy and pasting even though a source was there.
Great job.

Man there are some bold theory's going on here.

I have never heard about THC "recycling" its self, care to enlighten me.

I never knew THC cared so much about the environment, LOL.

Degrading has too due with the stage the THC is. It goes Clear, cloudy, and then amber. I cant think of any correlation between THC degrading and it being done with that 48hr darkness period.

Its pretty simple, THC is their to protect the seeds from the UV waves in the light. Sunlight destroys THC, therefore THC production takes place at night. So leaving it in darkness for a few days before harvest will lead to a peak in THC. Thats why you are supposed to harvest right before your lights come on.

So its up too you to identify when you think the plant is done pumping, IMO just do 72 and chop it, no need to get crazy with it. Some people just harvest in the morning and skip that darkness period, I dont let my plants sit in darkness because they are extremely dank either way. I doubt anyone could even tell the difference between a side by side test of the same strain one that was chopped in the morning and another that was left under 48hrs darkness.

"Then, in 2000, Dr Paul Mahlberg of Indiana University showed that THC was produced extracellularly, on the inside of the glandular membrane, which would allow for its daily recycling.

The idea of using a dark period to increase THC before harvest warrants some investigation. An extended dark period right before harvest might very well increase THC content."

Dinafem Seeds White Widow is the most potent cannabis on Earth and is named for the abundance of trichomes, giving the plant a whitish tint. It is also one of the more powerful strains of marijuana (alongside AK-47 and Afghan Kush) with a very high 20%-25% THC content.
White Widow feminized seeds are (60%/40%) indica/sativa cross-strain and is best suited to indoor cannabis cultivation. Cannabis seeds grow as high as 35-80 cm with the yield up to 450 gr per m2. It's suggested to flower (12 hour light) this marijuana variety for 8 weeks, but 10 weeks will really give you the crystals you are after. Try to turn the lights off altogether the final 2 weeks of the flowering cycle- or at least down to 8 hours. This keeps the flowers from re-growth and stresses the plant into giving up its last drop of goodness as crystal to protect the flower! The buds have so much THC on them that it is hard to see them at all.
White Widow feminized seeds produce plants that give you the taste of freshness laced with many fruits, because of the strength of the cannabis crystals - the only real taste goes hand in hand with the expectorant effects of the THC. The smell is strong pungency. It first hits you, then follows a sour sweetness with the final whiff ... turning sweet. If a plant could have a strong body odour then the White Widow needs a deodorant.
Cannabis smokers adore its sweet, thick, acrid smoke that imparts a hammering stone. Extremely powerful. Recommended for experienced smokers only.

Dinafem's site says 60 hours of darkness....
