    Some say yes, some say no, I did around 60 hours dark before I chopped on my last grow as I was away for a couple of days and didn't have time to chop before going. Decided to give them the dark period as I was paranoid about leaving the cab unattended, in all honesty I didn't notice any difference between these and previous grows I have harvested on a normal light setting.

    I would and have done. Its all about experimenting young jedi

    But ..better things to do imho to finish off the harvest.

    1) UVB bulb in last 2 weeks.
    2) MH bulb in last week.
    3) gradually reduce the light schedule in last 2 weeks until you hit 6on/18off from 12/12 over 10 days.
    4) make incisions in the stems with a scalpel in last week to stress them and produce more resin.

    I have tried these on their own and together. Together i reckon you get a v potent sticky harvest. 3 and 4 are free so you may as well. 3 I tried because it mimicks the natural way. For me , 3 improved the smoke and hardened/swelled up the buds noticeably.

    I dont think you will notice much from 48 hrs solely. The idea (for me at least) is to stress them a bit and starve them of light in a natural way and tell them they are finishing over last 1-2 weeks.

    Good luck
