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!!!

One Week and 2nd Germinated Seed didn't break the surface? Hope is lost?2nd plant didn't sprout yet. It's "brother" is already 5cm high and growing. Both did germinate together, but this one didn't break the soil/medium surface as the other. Is this a lost cause (after 1 week)? Do I continue to wait? Is there something I can do about it? Many thanks!Week 1

What would cause more than half of my plants to start throwing pollen sacs?more than half my plants have thrown pollen sacs at the internode, and I’m 110% sure I have no light leaks, everything’s been perfect including light schedule/intensity, nutrients, watering and environment. They even seemed super happy and healthy. Was it the defoliation or what?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.

When will the plant be good?..Hi! I am a beginner grower. I converted a refrigerator for micro-growing. How long until my first plant is finished? It grew semi-open air. The box was ready a few weeks ago and I put it in. My lamp is viperspectra p600. I welcome any useful advice. Thanks.
