The theory of this comes from harvesting your plants before sun rise. Because trichomes plump up in the dark to get ready to protect themselves from uv rays. Also why plants need 4 hours of darkness when growing

I have tried it and not noticed any difference. Maybe helped it fade a bit quicker but that was all. Have a go so you can compare.

Some people say it is. The real issue is that there is now way to quantify it. People say it makes more trichomes. If it does it would have no time to make them milk or amber. I harvest after my 12 hrs of dark. If i have autos i give them 12-18 hrs of a dark period.

First time grower - Partial HarvestHello brothers & sisters.
First time grower...
I've inspected trics all over, and as expected, they are more mature in certain areas.
Was thinking of partially harvesting?
Is it as simple as chopping the mature buds and leaving the rest for another 1-2weeks?
Thanks

Autoflower: Harvesting in SectionsHello growers! Some of the lower branches on my ladies are starting to grow into the light and are developing, but the top is close to being ready. I know it’s possible with a regular plant, but is it possible to harvest an auto flowering plant in parts without killing it? Thanks

Is My Drying Humidity Too Low?Humidity is hanging right around 60% but sometimes dips to 58%. Temp is around 66°-68°. Those numbers are coming from my AC Infinity controller, while a cheap little temp and humidity gauge I placed in the plant says humidity is 71%.
Is my humidity too low? Get a humidifier?

Cardboard box drying outdoors?I dont have a place in my house to let them dry, plus I dont have a de/humidifier.
I’d dry them in a sheltered place, in a cardboard box but still outside, averages 60-70% humidity, i would cut holes both sides for ventilation but keep light out and put boveda packs 65% Thoughts?
