When is the best time to split the stem

I’m starting my 4th week into flowering and would like to know the best time to split the stem. Could someone please let me know?

Thanks!
Joe

3 days to a week from the harvest date,

Great, Thanks! Do I still put it into 48 hours of darkness?

No problem brother

48 hour darkness at the end will definitely help THC production.

@Hawkeye_diesel and @TxGrowman are both spot on
And it works well I did 3 days before harvest and 48 hr dark that was the hard part not seeing them for 2 days @joe1

and it’s been brought to my attention to not split the stem near the ground but nearer an individual bud site.

Make sure you put ties or zip ties on the main stem above and below the cutting area. Keeps you from splitting it too far.
