48 hours of darkness pre harvest is it worth it?

what's your experience, do you think 48 hours of darkness is worth the wait?

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.

What do you all think?What do you all think?
The harvest will be in a few weeks, in Germany only 50g is allowed dry
Do you think it will be more or less?
I know it will be hard to tell from a picture how much dry remains, but I hope there are some estimates.

Ready for Harvest?Hello, I'm a newbie and that's my 1st try growing at home. I created my growing box with LED lights and ventilation—3 plants from Fast Buds auto mix. Question: Are they ready for harvest (100 days old)? And I would love to hear advice on how to dry them. Thanx!

Harvest in 2 times, seeking advice, top big branch/buds first and then lowerNow 7 days from harvest. 3 plants with cloudy tricomes, no spottted ambar it's fine.
Is necessary to harvest in 2 times? Give a week more for the bottom "popcorn" buds and the third plant, shorter in shadow?
Should I cut whole largest branches entirely, or cut all at same height

I have two drying options for my one plant. Wine fridge with perfect temp or closet with perfect humidity. Which is best?Should I dry my one plant in a wine fridge with a compressor that causes the humidity to fluctuate between 50-70% but can be set to a perfect 60f, or should I dry in a closet with perfect 60% humidity but temp at a steady 74f with no way to lower it? Perfect humidity or temp? ThxOther. Harvest - Drying

Drying.Hi all!
I currently have 2 plants growing. 1 of them has clearly bloomed faster and I will have to harvest it earlier.
Because I have only one grow box and I don't know where to dry it. Can I put them somewhere for two weeks to wait for the 2nd one?
Could u tell me what to do?

How long after the last flush, do you wait until you chop your plant?
Do you let it dry out so the pot is nice and light before you harvest? Or is a little moisture left in the soil ok? Did last flush 48 hrs ago and I'm itching to chop her down, but still slightly damp soil

To harvest, or not to harvestCurious what others thoughts are - I realize this diary is seriously lacking. I only stumbled here on week 8 of this experiment.
Do you think this girl is nearing, right at or still some time left before harvest?

Edible out of fresh harvestHi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?Buds. Other
