48 hours of darkness before harvest 🌿 Cannabis tip

48 hours of darkness before harvest is a popular cannabis tip that lots of growers use right before cutting. The idea: Without light, the plant stops photosynthesis and puts more energy into resin and trichome production.

Some people say it leads to a stronger aroma and slightly more intense effects, while others barely notice a difference. There’s no solid scientific proof for the effect, but giving your plant a dark period right before harvest usually doesn’t hurt either.

The most important thing is that your plant is really mature and the trichomes are mostly milky with a few amber tips.
