Pre-harvest Care
4EverGreenstarted grow question 9 months ago
My question is related to harvest techniques. I have seen where several diaries talk about water restrictions the last 1-2 days prior to harvest and also about placing the plant(s) in the dark for 4-7 days prior to harvest. I would like to hear from the master growers on it. TY

Extended darkness is bs ghetto science.
Witholding water for the last 24-48 hours makes drying easier.
Neither "technique" will miraculously cause extra THC to magically appear.
The less stress and the more normal the plants are treated before harvest, the better.The last thing you want to do after weeks/months of careful, dedicated growing, is to stress the plant in any way right before you harvest them.
Over the last 40 years I have tried just about every urban myth out there and 99% are garbage.
Harvesting healthy, unstressed plants is the only thing I believe in these days.

Leaving them in the dark doesn't do anything from my experience. I water up until the point of harvest, obviously not the day I chop her as that's pointless.

Yellow sugar leavesI am waiting for a low-THC strain to develop amber trichomes and I found two buds with these yellow sugar leaves. There is no bud rot, should I wait longer to harvest? Also, do CBD strains develop amber trichomes, or should I harvest now? Additional details available in growdiary

My plant has yellow pistils with her buds. So the buds are yellowing. What could this be? I use Biobizz nutrients and give it like the scheme says. My second plant receives the same amount of nutrients, and she's looking ok. Can you help please, what yellow buds does say? Thx.

Would you stop feeding the plants with fertilizer at this point already? I think it will be fine for the Northern Lights and the Purple Queen but may be a little early for the Dance World. Little disadvantage with one common pot that I can only treat all plants the same way..
