what happens if i cut my buds straight from light without the darl period??

should i be okay to cut them if they have been in light for about 6 hrs already? i heard its best to chop after 12 hrs darkness??

I won't make any noticeable difference whatsoever.

yeah i read all that stuff, too, but don't think it makes a big difference

sweet so im goood to go

keeping it in the dark for 1/2 to 2 days is just to bring out as much potency as possible before chopping. Your choice if you want to wait an extra day for a little more thc

I dont know exactly if this is true but I read the other day that you should chop right before the light goes on because at night the plant stores all of its sugars and starches inside of the root mass at night and once the light goes on the sugars and starches move up to feed the buds. If you cut it before light, the plant wont feed your buds as much leading to a quicker dry and cure. Some people that do this right only have to properly cure their plants for a week or less. I will try to find the link to which post it is on. It is a very big article on flushing harvesting and curing I found very informative.

I have to agree that I'm not sure about the true benefits. My last grow (pineapple express) I gave it 72 hours of dark before harvest and when i pulled my plant out it popped out about 5-6 new pollen sacks like it was starting to hermie from the lack of sunlight. Dont think i'll do dark period anymore.

If it's ready chop chop

72 hours is probably too long... 1-2 days (is what I've heard). Still not sure if there's any benefits. On my grow I'll pull one after 12 hours dark and another after 48 hours and post up my findings.
