Seems to me I read somewhere that harvest should happen in last of the darkness before the sun comes up. Something to do with starches that rise when Photosynthesis is taking place.

Is this true?

I should set an alarm?

Yeeees sir. absolutely correct. And once you get em cut whether you wet trim or not, get em in the dark ASAP to dry.

I've never chopped a plant early morning. No way I'm setting an alarm to chop my plants haha I chop whenever I get to my spot usually mid day or just before sun set.

Well your exposing your trichomes to unneeded light after they've been cut which degrades them quick. Dark is key. For indoors, 2-4 days of all dark before harvest is usually a great idea.

I'm organic. and darkness is no Myth my friend. Resin glands swell in darkness and the plant stores it's food in its roots (where we want it) while in the dark. That way it's not in the plant matter making chlorophyll.

I call bullshit...a plant isn't going to produce something in the morning and it ceases to exist at night.

Well you don't know much about plant biology or photosynthesis then apparently.

Do you flush then or what?
How much water for say a 10 gall soil pot?

You would had you tested your trichomes potency. Very surprised I think you'd be too.

I did answer you. I'm organic. which means I grow in the ground. My roots go DEEP. Like 10-20' deep. I'd need 5 above ground pool loads of water, focused in like a 6' radius from the stem to do any good. But it's organic so I never add nutes.

I'm not lol at you. People perpetuate these myths as fact on forums.

Just wondering, don't get offended, how do you give 4 days of dark outside?

I dont. Wish I could. Just harvest as soon as its been dark long enough to get the branches off and in A room with A green incandescent to trim in the dark. then they stat in the dark for 6-8 days while they dry.

What you are trying to claim is basically the same as saying that bottling beer in clear glass won't change the fermentation process. There is a reason they bottle really hoppy (plant material similar to bud) beers in dark glass. To prevent light penetration.
