I would recommend
using the darkening system
again once the plants
begin to naturally go into the
flowering phase which would
be expected to occur in August.
The reason for this is to make
sure that the potential of the
flower is reached without failure
since there are times in
Nature where cloud cover or
poor light can adversely affect
the end result. Darkening a
plant means you can count on a
due completion date plus or
minus a few days…which
means you can work out dates
where you will need help and
so forth.
There are ways to go on and do
a further crop with the use of
supplementary light and Sativa
predominant plants, but we will
discuss this in the future as it is
costly and needs a lot more specific
type of species, but it is possible.
Most people who try this
technique of darkening become
convinced of this cost effective
method and excellent yield per
plant and may find it very difficult
to go back to growing
indoors with lights(unless it is
over the winter months). So if
you are in a position to convert
a small greenhouse or tunnel
and are able to make the commitment
and investment of regular
darkening system, I assure
you it will change how you view
growing. In fact I would suggest
it will be the beginning of a
quantum leap in your development
as a primary producer
