I came across this today and I thought I might give it ago but has anyone else done this? Is it common to do?

24 hour period without light
We recommend that you give your plants a 24 hour period without any light just before harvesting to help your plant produce more resin. With potency being lowest during the full heat of midday, darkness will allow your marijuana plants to show their full potential. You will notice some marijuana plants respond incredibly well to this, such as those in the White family (like White Widow or White Queen). Even if your plants do not respond favorably to where you can see a difference, it does not cause them any harm to try. The only thing it can potentially do is help, so why not, right?
I've read through many guides on harvest and I hadn't heard of this too much and wanted to find out if someone had tried it and what the results were.
And is it true that during the night period mobile nutrients are sent down to the roots? I've heard to help flushing some people chop their harvest during the night period?
