And then you didnt even put the right answer on there LMAO

The correct answer is, you lose terps with extended darkness. The only way to help preserve terpenes in darkness is to lower the temp of the room to 60°F. So I voted Bacon.

One thing it definitely does is allows the plant to ripen for two more days before you chop it

I've done it to make room in a flower tent before with a plant that was almost ready.

elaborate on what you mean by "ripen". Were growing flowers not peaches.

If I was gonna chop today because there were 5% amber and lots of cloudy trichs, maybe I'm in a hurry or an impatient newb, whatever.

If I choose to stick it in the dark for two more days that amber % might jump to 6-7% Riper.

The term “ripening” is used a lot in books by Ed Rosenthal, and others, to describe the trichomes changes.

Come on! It's the moon that decides when it's time.
You plant on the "inhale" and harvest on the "exhale" of the earth.
Yes, the earth breaths in and out. lol

I think it's called tides - but same thing. There's lots of rabbit holes to go down while growing this plant.

VPD. I haven't seen much talk about barometric pressure, elevation above sea level, or other factors that will play into the environment of your tent. If they are factored in then I apologize - but I know damn well that a tent in the mountains, the desert, or the beach are going to have different requirements to achieve the same VPD. Even if you are in a climate controlled house kept at 72F.

I was talking about terpenes, not thc degregation. You realize that when the plant is in darkness its not "making" anything. That 2% extra amber is just your THC degrading. Not a bad thing necessarily but if you leave your plant in darkness for 48 hours your gassing off a lot of terps with out your plant replacing them. Everything the plant does, grow, make resin, multiply cylaxes is all done with the lights on. You chop right before lights on so you dont get all the starches the plant needs for photosynthesis, making for much smother smoke.

Oh ok. My bad.

Excellent points. There is so much to learn from every angle. The moon does have an effect on plants, it pulls and pushes on the plant. Just like the full moon has an affect on child birth. Mothers have a much easier time during "full moon" phases. Has to do with water molecules reacting to what causes the "tides". Throw in Astrology, the deeper down "granny's hole" we go.
l love this shit! lol

Organically grown by the "moon".

You know, if she took that cutting out of that man's ass then dipped it in a shot glass full of brawndo(or maybe foop) I bet she could get it to root.
Hmmmm.... I think I am changing my vote to bacon.

 

[NoWaistedSpace]

I'm wondering why she didn't stick it in the horses ass first, you know, different kinds of microbes and nutrients are important in a plants environment domain.
What's that shit called? Tuuwwwaarrr agricultural practices. It's one of the latest "trends". lol
