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!!!

Growth Speed of AutoflowerIf I start three auto seeds of the same strain, is it expected that all three will be ready for harvest at the same time? My plants look fairly healthy, but it seems as if they are growing at different speeds. This was noted before the transfer to their final pot. Thanks.

What is growing out of my pot?Hey guys, not sure what this little guy is but it started growing out of my pot. I just noticed it today. Anyone have an idea?
I grow my plants indoor but I take them outside for 3-4 hours for actual sunlight.
Not sure if this is a formation of a new plant or part of my plant?

Transplant FuckeryI have four plants I transplanted from 1gal to 3gal fabric pots. When flipping them I had a bunch of dirt fall out the side of the pot down onto the buds. I now have dry dirt stuck everywhere on the buds. What should I do? Will it hurt to leave on? Should I spray with PHed water?Week 4

Flowering stage tipsMy plant just started to flower. I feel excited and nervous, because I didn’t think I would be able to keep a plant alive for this long.
Do you guys have any general tips or advice for the flowering stage of an auto for a newbie? 🤓Week 5
