Hour of day to harvest

Does it make a difference what time of the day I harvest? Would a plant harvested before night time be worse than one harvested in the early morning?

After years of experimentation with harvest timing, I prefer to harvest during the first two hours of the day. Plants harvested at the end of the day are never as aromatic as ones harvested in the morning. It seems a plant is freshest and tastiest after a nights sleep and gets less tastier as the day progresses and the terpenes evaporate in the sun. My experiments were conducted over 20 odd years and for the last 15 or so, mornings are definitely the only time I would ever consider harvesting a plant.

I don't have 20 years experience. But if you dark rest, keeping it dark makes sense. Good luck.

Hmmm, guess ppl have their different ways. Me, I like to dark rest my plants before harvest. So harvesting in the day would kinda defeat the whole dark rest window. From the moment you chop her from the way you dry. It's meant to be in the dark, all the stuff I've read and what to do with airflow (don't blow fans directly on your plant but decent airexchange around the plant is a must.) So, me, I'd say if you are dark resting your plant to allow sugars to be drawn up and all the other good stuff a dark rest does for terps as its in a constant low temp, the lower the temp the better. (For the dark rest, if you do one, once it's hung dry, whole, 19-21c 45-60RH all depends how you like it.) So, if you don't dark rest it really doesn't matter but it is pref that you dry your pants in a dark place so I would say dark harvest.
