Harvest time first grow in so excited like a kid on Christmas morning. I chopped one of the 12 colas on my gorilla glue auto to run a small test and looking beautiful bout 16 grams wet still 11 more to go and that was a smaller cola too. Trichs are bout 5 percent amber and cloudy it’s sure stick too. Just wondering how important is it for 24 hrs of darkness
You will lose about 75 to 80% total weight as it dries.
I was wondering how much it would dry out now I can sort of figure and end weight off if that thanks.
I think you meant to give 48 hours of darkness before harvesting I think it’s something to do with the clorophyl
What strain bro?
It’s a gorilla glue auto and I have a white widow auto the white widow the buds are so purple and fruity smelling I can’t wait yeah I’m gonna let the pots dry out then put them in the darkness before I chop the whole plant been reading a lot on harvesting. The past day or so.

Many people believe that harvesting at the end of a light deprivation preserves terpenes that would volatize at lights-on temperature; There’s some talk about preserving THC as well. There’s even speculation that the deprivation shocks the plant, eliciting an increase in [insert desirable cannabinoid].
If the large-scale cultivators have data on this, they’re keeping it mum. 12-72hours or dark doesn’t seem to hurt the plants in any way though. Personally, I’m supportive of 12-72 hours, but it isn’t always practical. I think the drying environment is more critical than light deprivation.
