Maybe a problem

I left a plant in the dark 1 week it was mature.
Looks good it is a little pale. Did it hurt? Did it help?
I will know in 2 weeks or so any speculation.

plants need light dude, not a good idea.

plant is probably fine.. if a plant survives a dark spell, it will be fine but it significantly hurts growth and yield will irreversibly be decreased. It certainly cannot help though.. good luck

Not good but as long as it's alive it will be ok if you put light back on it. You cost yourself some yield is all, some growth time.

It was mature I forgot to harvest it last week it got miss-placed in the dark. Being mature already would it hurt it.

no, just makes it more of a stuck on the couch type of body high weed if all the trichomes are amber now.

I will save it 'till I need to be couch stuck.

ahh didnt know it was already ready for harvest.. then yea the damage was minimal if at all.. yea what Oregon said, the extra week in the dark has definitely changed the chemical components of the psychotropic substances in the bud though .. enjoy the smoke!

Is there a limit to how long you can let your plants bud?

There is no reason to let them go beyond amber trichomes. It starts to degrade and become less potent.

somebody told me the shit'll turn black eventually. all resinny and shit.

well at least it was in the cool dark 62 degrees turned real purple.

Black with mold maybe.
Never better than amber trichomes.

informative sir. amber trichomes

My medical friend put's his plant's in darkness for 24hrs. before chopp'n.

I would be worried about mold/mildew after a day or two in darkness.

just a follow up It did not hurt it.

cool. .. yea light, heat, air and time degrades THC so since it was cool and in the dark for that week, I cant imagine that the potency was decreased by even a small degree. You may be able to bring some of that potency back if you let it dry for a few weeks and cure it for longer.. I personally like cloudy trichs... amber trichs make for too much of a body stone.. I like crazy mental psychotic highness for my consciousness!

Drying nice and slow not much chlorophyll left. Smells like Citrus
