Larger Colas & More Trichomes

[Mitchell Florn]

KEEPING PLANTS IN COMPLETE DARKNESS FOR 48HRS BEFORE HARVEST TIME LEADS TO LARGER COALS AND MORE TRICHOMES AS WELL AS HIGHER CONCENTRATONS OF THC AND TERPENES .....HERE IS A U.S PATENT ON IT....I KNOW THESE ARE TECHNICAL READS BUT ENJOY AND I HOPE THEY LEAD TO BETTER STASH....

Moving Away from 12:12; the Effect of Different Photoperiods on Biomass Yield and Cannabinoids in Medicinal Cannabis

The standard practice to initiate flowering in medicinal cannabis involves reducing the photoperiod from a long-day period to an equal duration cycle of 12 h light (12L)/12 h dark (12D). This method reflects the short-day flowering dependence of many cannabis varieties but may not be optimal for...

Love large coals

 

[zigzagman1960]

Here’s some large colas that didn’t get 48hrs. of dark and 48 hours isn’t enough time to develop extra trics

 

[Phytoplankton]

There’s been quite a bit of research on darkness before harvest. Everything I’ve read (technical papers), shows that 48 hours of darkness has no effect on THC %, but does increase terpenes (terpenes volatilize in heat/light).
Edit: you can achieve almost the same outcome by harvesting before the lights come on after a night of darkness.

HERE IS A U.S PATENT ON IT

If you are talking about the first article it is not a patent. It is an application for a "provisional patent" which seems to mean that the US Patent Office will allow the persons or company making the application be able to say that their invention can now be considered for "Patent Pending" status. It does not mean that the patent was granted or ever will be.

I had to look it up but the basic question or search term I used was "What is a Provisional Patent".

I AM FULLY AWARE OF PATENTS VS. PROVISIONAL PATENTS....ETC. DEALT WITH MANY OF THEM IN THE BIOPHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY. MY WIFE HAS SEVERAL PATENTS AS WELL....I SENT THE LINK...THE "PATENT" AS AN INFORMATIONAL LINK ONLY.
