This is my first indoor grow, is there anything different i should be doing at harvest, other than just chopping it down like with outdoor? What's with the putting plants in the dark for 24+ hours before chopping?
hi, i woud do harvest in the Mornign, before the Lights come on, the concentration of the Trichomes now are the highest. Some harvest on full moon etc. But i need to have more harvests to compare.. hapy harvesting
Some people Say it make more Trich's Ive have tried it and have not noticed much of a difference if any at all. the theory behind it is that during the "day" time the sun/(some)lights give off UV and the trichomes helps protect the plants from it. while they are doing that some get "burnt" off and the plant produces some more at night so the thinking is if it gets a longer dark period before harvest then it will have more trich's covering it. I find getting a decent 10*f temp swing Day/night plus low RH like 30-35% helps bring out more smell and trich's than the dark period does at least from my experience it has Happy Growing!!
