So everyone on here has their opinion on this.
The ones that do this, swear by it, but a lot of people say it doesn't do anything.

I decided to try it myself and will say that........
After 48 hours of darkness right before harvesting, it smelled WAY stronger then before the darkness. I didn't notice more trichs, which I wasn't surprised because it takes longer then 2 days to form a trich. BUT it smelled a lot, lot, lot more stronger.

So my conclusion, I will continue to do this to future plants
Thought I would share my experience

I do three days 72 hours all the lights off and room sealed shut works for me you can always smell the difference and see it I think, might just me but those babies glisten in that dark more than usual lol

I honestly wonder how many people chop at end of light cycle rather than end of dark…? The science is pretty straight forward here regarding there being less starch in the plant tissues at the end of a dark cycle. It makes me wonder how many people are experience harsh smoke or hallmarks of a bad cure when the first and most critical mistake may have been when they chopped….

Got a Sweet Zombie and a Northern Lights DWC in the dark right now. 48-72 hours has always worked for me, and chop at night. For anyone still on this thread. I used to just chop at night until I tried the 48 of dark and now I swear by it. I'm no scientist but I hope my experience with the subject helps :)
