Harvest time of day (light cycle)

I am curious about the time of day everyone actually cut their plants. After 12 hours darkness or more? Maybe after the lights have been on for a couple of hours? I am grown indoor for 5 years now with mixed results, sometimes because of different strains or circumstances.

I harvest when it is convenient from a time perspective.

At night, hopefully during a full moon.

Allegedly the gravity of the moon pulls more resin to the buds.

Happy growing

I like that theory! Does it matter that I run my lights at night because it keeps it cooler in the room. How about water? I know about the flush if you need to but when do you bring down the tree. after watering? 2 days dry? what do you do?

I always harvested after a dark period but I’m not sure why anymore. I would just unplug light and get to them when i got to them. I can tell you that it didn’t matter if it was 10 hours or 3 days after, same stuff either way.

First of all total darkness for up to 3 days was bullshit. Brand new data i just saw on you tube now says the opposite something like 36hrs of light

Yeah I saw it was just a long time without seeing plants so placebo tells you it did something.

Light is energy for a plant to use to produce sugars to grow and be healthy and produce trichomes. If you take away a plant’s energy source, you are taking away it’s ability to produce and maintain trichomes.
