theres no big difference i think, i would probably go with the morning, just to avoid doing it in the hottest time of the day so the resin is at it less sticky and also plants produce sugar using light so in the morning is when the plant has less sugar. this is just my opinion maybe someone will chime in with a real reason.

Eh, c'mon guys, the trichomes have formed over the course of weeks and the THC is there. I'd have to see some solid scientific evidence to support a measurable change in potency over 24 hours. Sorry, no disrespect, but I call BS.

What are "C3" crops? You drop the term as though you expect people to know what it means. And speaking of BS, I do have one in biology, and attended an ag university and have hung out in the crop lab, so I do have a some background, and not just from reading a bunch of random stuff on the Interwebs. And I've been growing off and on since the early 70s. I stand by my assertion that saying that THC content varies significantly over the course of a day doesn't make sense.Last edited by DoctorJohnson; 05-25-2018, 01:45 PM.

C3 plants are those who trough he Calvin cycle take carbon from the air to produce sugar using light as energy. So what he means is all crops are harvested when the unused sugar content inside he plant is the lowest. Both are talking about different things

Thier are AS many ways to grow pot, AS there r growers. Can’t fault people for not doing it the way u would like. Right or wrong all that u can do give your opinion and hope for the best ! Some prefer 24hours of darkness before harvesting others don’t.... and it’s all good as long as were growing we’re OKAY 👌😊😎 Lol

I harvest when i can some here some there i don't do it all at once I turn my light off at harvest so some of my buds sit under up to 72 hrs of darkness before they get cut there is no difference than the buds cut when the lights are on 24 7. So chop when u wantIt's 4:19 u got a minute?

I chop mine down whenever they are ready, and not before.
I quit watering and turn off my light ,and leave them in my tent 2-3days before I chop them down.Then they going in brown paper bags for several days, then in jars ,that I check regularly for a couple of weeks.
I ain't no plant doctor by any means, but I do believe that keeping them in the dark, helps a good bit, as far as trichs are concerned.
But everyone does things differently. lolCfls for a week or two

I cant think of a scientific way of testing that theory. I have 4 very very very nice plants in 1 tent. Thought maybe try each different. But that wont work. You have to either move them. Do them at different times, cut one plant before during and after but all of those add new factors to the situation. No way to do it without adding new factors.
