Hello, I have done a bit of research and experimentation with different harvesting methods and there is a really good utube video about the lab results of darkness when harvesting.
https://youtu.be/C-Ns7j0WIJM
The video is very interesting it explains a lot about this topic and how the chemical changes happen within the plant when exposed to longer periods of darkness before harvesting but there is also another major factor as well and it is the temperature during the whole darkness/harvest & cure process if your going for max terpenes you have to key in on the evaporation point. Cheers Dan

As stated below—- great points. Personally, I ice down the plant 72 hours before harvest a few times— this acts as a flush and tricks the plant that frost and winter is coming. Helps with the terps. Then go dark for at least 48 of those hours—- let her dry out and then chop. Hang to dry for 7-10 days.
Good luck!!!

I think my GDA topped herselfI think my Grand Daddy Astrologist topped herself and I don't know how it happened, is it some kind of mutation or just an environmental stress or? And why hasn't it topped on every bud? Could this be a trait that you select on a breeding program? Thank you !

Slimey/Webby parts of the flower? Looks like rot or mold?I removed the infected parts of the plant and defoliated the fan leaves around the sites to help with aeration. Did she go past her prime and now she is dying? Or just because of high humidity in the air?

Prem flower? Worthy yield?I've just topped this one then noticed a handful of pistils. Shes quite young, and really not the size I was expecting before switching.
Is this going to yield low and stay small? Would it be worth growing out? I have limited space and would rather guarantee a worthy yield.
TiA!
