So I have read in a couple places about putting the plant in the dark for 48 hours or so before you harvest.

Has anyone heard of this before or had experience with it?

ive read that a 24 hour dark period lets the plant know that its cycle is done and helps it produce a last shot of resin. ive never tried it so im not sure how well it would work.

I have done the 24 hour dark before flowering to induce the plant, but this pertains to the end. The article was in Hightimes or Cannabis Culture or something. It said to put them in dark before you start cutting to let some chemicals which go into the roots at night fully leave the plant. Not sure if it was just some tall tale or if it had merit. My Early Bud plant is nearing finished and I am curious to give it a try.
