Darkness benefit experiment?

I’m putting my Platinum Raspberry, (Regularseed/FFOF/Dynagro/bat guano/oceansolution),

in 36 hours of darkness at the beginning of week 5 of flower. This should be the stage where the plant starts to concentrate on the bud development,. I’m going to see if the darkness at this stage will benefit bud development,or see a significant difference (this is gonna be a frosty plant)

@Revolutionary Gnosis Light "interruptions" or leaks can cause plants to go hermie. Although, in your case, you're just extending the dark period for 12 hours, one time, so there is a high chance you will be fine.

Never done the dark during flower except sometimes last couple days in cold air. When I do it I usually do the darkness just before flipping to flower. Let us know what it does for sure, I like doing doing things a little different myself to see reactions.

Right. I did the darkness before flipping to 12/12 But after the window of ‘stretch’, the plant is changing into a different stage of growth (and internally) where darkness benefits. I want to hopefully ‘enhance’ it. And yes I will keep you guys updated
