Cindarella 99

It’s probably because that’s where the sun don't shine 🤣

More intense sunlight on south facing properties in the UK anyway

My OG answer was just a sarcastic joke. I’m sorry. It sounded funny at the time.

The problem is rather of physical stress, where leaves and side branches constantly clash and rub against each other, and the wounds could lead to an infection.Also those large stemmed fan leaves hit trichomes and resin glands and smell is released. Other than that, no real worries. Cindy is a wonderful plant, with plenty terpenes to go around ;-) !

Unless the trichomes are physically damaged, the terpenes should stay stable, no matter the wind. As hillman said, as long as the branches/flowers are not crashing into each other, there should be no problems. When growing outdoors, this is sometimes impossible to avoid, but as long as you harvest after 24-36 hours of calm conditions to allow any damage to heal, terpene reduction is something I have never noticed in over three and a half decades of outdoor growing. Harvesting about an hour or so after sun up/lights on seems to produce the most aromatic flowers in my experience. Waiting until the end of the day or after many hours of "lights on time" seems to produce flowers with reduced smell, no doubt due to the volatile oils in the terpenes having been evaporated in the heat and before a nights recovery and restoration with fresh oils/terpenes once again boosts aroma. Hope this helps, Organoman.
