I think people mean to harvest during what would be the plants dark period rather than in the dark. I can’t see what difference it would make personally but I’m no expert.

I was told cutting in the light affected the crystals as you were cropping

Hey Barry2067 , it don't matter when you harvest day or night. I try to leave mine in the dark, 2-4 days before chopping an I don't give mine any water either during that time.It helps with your drying time, especially if your in a hurry for some reason, also helps with trichs production, we are all glad to have you Barry2067, and welcome to GWE.
everyone does it different though.

I do like D. I turn the light off and start chopping when they dry up a bit. They end up hanging in the tent on the way to the jar.

I think you mean not harvesting in strong sunlight. That will degrade THC a little but harvesting in normal lighting wont effect the potency much if at all.

You are definitely going to want to wet trim your bud in the light. Your product will not come out well trying to cut in the dark. You will lose product and end up having leafy bud. You need all the light you can get.

Or cut off a finger in the dark.

Lol. Exactly I should've said lose product or a digit.
