NO Lights the last 3-5 days before harvest ?

[Underground]

I was reading an article in the 'Special Collector's Edition' of the 'The Best of High Times'..on newstands til October 2010, where the Medicine Man explains a method he uses.

According to him, and his Shock Ripening method, "which adds weight, density, resin, flavor and aroma to your garden by simply turning off the lights and giving your plants cold water and full darkness for the last three to five days before harvest. You'll be amazed at the amount of essential oils created in that short period of time."

Has anyone else read this article, and has anyone tried this? He has a blog, which I havent looked at yet, and I dont wanna post the link because its a different website, if you PM me, I'll send it to you.

Its something that could work. It depends a lot on strains but stressing plants the last week or so before chopping has been a well known technique for resin production.
