New Grower Light deprivation for chlorophyll reduction?

[The Medicine Man]

Hey all,

So, I was thinking (and I usually get in trouble when I start thinking....) what would happen if you were to deprive plants of light for say the final week they're in their medium of choice? Knowing that sunlight supplies them with energy for food production, if we shut off that source and continued to feed just water, would the plant use up the nutrients stored for energy and then the chlorophyll be depleted, speeding up a cure process?

Just thinking of ways to keep the mass from a water cure but remove the chlorophyll. Figured light deprivation would be the way to go, but had no idea if anyone had done that before.

isnt what you described basically flushing?

Yes in essence. I'm just trying to figure out if it can be done like a water cure, where you water cure for 1 week then dry and there is no air cure time afterwards. If we deprive the plant of light for it's final week, will that be enough of a loss of chlorophyll to be able to just dry it and ingest it, without the terpene loss of a water cure.

look into chlorosis, i do believe your idea would work
