I would try to harvest when the soil is dry.

I wouldn't bother watering again unless you haven't flushed yet.

cut immediately after a dark period if you can leave them dark for 24 hours.

I grow hydro. For the last two days I empty all my water. I like to think this would mean that the plant has eaten every last bit of food. I think it makes for a better taste

i dont know why ppl are saying to harvest at a certain time. it doesnt make a difference.

if u wanna shut down ur lights then thats fine. if u wanna give em 2 hours light then thats fine. that bitch is getting cut up anyway.

harvest when ever u want. give em a quick trim, start drying them, trim even more. cure.

Harvest after a dark period,,,,The theory is the sap is down in the roots. I have done this and the finished product is smother smoke.

I would not postulate on the potency.
