IM bored again and another things is makin me wonder. LOL
I know weve all herd it hwo that THC/trichs degrade after lights on and restores after of yada yada.. idk how much of this is actual fact or even if its really makin a difference if one keeps plants in dark for up to 72 hours prior to chop or even just before lights on off etc etc.. and even if there is a difference I do believe it is so marginal anyway.. but then again idk.. who knows ? anyone? LOL
actualy that answer isn't wat im really lookin for.
more of a "what do u all think of this concept" deal to go with the whole harvest time of day/ light cycle myth.
first off. I myself have toyed with the whole lights off thing. ive doen 12 hours, 24, 36 all way up to 72 hours. and well naturally I felt I noticed a difference every time and semed like a slight bigger difference the longer they was left in dark.
now this is whats got me all a sudden. say we leave plants in dark for even 48 hours. that means we go without seein them for 48 hours. well just think bout how much things change in a simple 12hour window wit the girls while in flower. and now multiply that by 4-8 and realize we aint layin eyes on our beuties for that whole time. whos to say its not just a simple eye foolery simply cuz u got 4 times the change/growth u normally experience thruout the entire grow in between on/off cycles....?
idk bout all u but when im growin I check things as close to lights on and both off as I can just ta run hru make sure no fans tripped or bulbs burnt out etc so I only see that 12hour difference/change. so naturally after 48 hours plus i'm gonna walk intot he grow and be like "whoa holy trichs batman!". not tomention I more than likely wont have that big ol HPS blarrin down on top them all screwin wit my visual perception of things a bit. I just notice they seem to look even frostier when in the dark and im usin like a flashlight or such vs when eyeballin them under HPS.
im nto sayin nor tyin to say I feel its just a myth tho. heck don't get wrong here I don't mind that 48-72 hour carefree worry free vacation from the grow while they sit and chill in the dark for few days while I get s everything ready for next or cleaned up ready to trim etc etc.. maybe that's how the deal got started too. or maybe a combination of the vacation relief and the whoel visual deception I spoke of above or maybe its both . or heck maybe its fact they pack on more trichs in the last 48-72 hours of dark than if wasleft in cycle of 12/12 for the last 48-72.. ?
IDK jsu some food for thought to chew on when/if ya'll confronted with the old myth again.
What u all think.?
