manicureing before harvest, and 2 week dark period question

I agree, I make sure I give my plants a watering and after they suck it up then I chop. I like the plants being rigid for as long as possible to make trimming easier. I don't know if there is any other benefits to doing this, but not having to lift and screw with leaves while trimming is a good enough reason for me.

OUCH!!! he told you .. DR purple
GOD DAMN HAVENT LAUGHED SO HARD FOR A WHILE
So obviously your pretty new to growing, but this question isnt THAT stupid. there is ALOT of shitty information on the internet so i cant blame you for reading this stupid idea somewhere.
First off 2 weeks of dark, BAD IDEA. plants do not use water during the dark period. watering while lights are off increases fungal development in the soil, causing root rot and other root diseases... thats bad news.
second off, the final 2 weeks of flowering is where you get most of your bud weight and density. seeing as how during lights off plants dont "breathe" or use CO2 your definitely shooting yourself in the foot and killing your final product.
what you CAN do is put them into complete darkness for 48hrs, ive done this before with no ill effect, but didnt get much increase in resin or quality.

some seed companies suggest doing this long dark period on certain strains

Dinafem Seeds White Widow is the most potent cannabis on Earth and is named for the abundance of trichomes, giving the plant a whitish tint. It is also one of the more powerful strains of marijuana (alongside AK-47 and Afghan Kush) with a very high 20%-25% THC content. White Widow feminized seeds are (60%/40%) indica/sativa cross-strain and is best suited to indoor cannabis cultivation. White widow can grow as high as 35-80 cm with the yield up to 450 gr per m2. It's suggested to flower (12 hour light) this marijuana variety for 8 weeks, but 10 weeks will really give you the crystals you are after.
*******
Try to turn the lights off altogether the final 2 weeks of the flowering cycle- or at least down to 8 hours. This keeps the flowers from re-growth and stresses the plant into giving up its last drop of goodness as crystal to protect the flower! The buds have so much THC on them that it is hard to see them at all.
*********
White Widow feminized seeds produce plants that give you the taste of freshness laced with many fruits, because of the strength of the cannabis crystals - the only real taste goes hand in hand with the expectorant effects of the THC. The smell is strong pungency. It first hits you, then follows a sour sweetness with the final whiff ... turning sweet. If a plant could have a strong body odour then the White Widow needs a deodorant. Cannabis smokers adore its sweet, thick, acrid smoke that imparts a hammering stone. Extremely powerful. Recommended for experienced smokers only.
ATTITUDE SEEDS
White Widow is an indica-sativa hybrid with clear indica predominance, especially in the growing stage.
Not very vigorous, it has many side branches making it easy to control indoors.
The leaves are small, dark and shiny, whilst remaining quite wide.
The smell of the stems rubbed between your fingers is deep, sweet & sour and very strong; it is important to use carbon filters indoors.
Production may be lower than for other strains but this is compensated by its resin coated flowers.
Very good strength and a mixed physical and mental medicinal effect, which is truly pleasurable.
*******
It is advisable to leave them in complete darkness for the last 5 days, to increase resin production as much as possible.
Bear in mind that it can be easily affected by mould in humid areas.

ive had good results by reducing the lights on period to 8hrs a day for the last week. it seemed to increase flavor, not really sure it did anything for potency.
