Has anyone experimented with different times of day for harvest?

I have heard and had so many arguments and discussions, which may well manifest in this thread, but do we have statistical details available?

Otherwise, what recommendations may people make?

Does it depend on the strain?

I've got some Dutch Passion Brainstorm ready to pluck from a eco-system, but having got this far, may as well continue to optimise where I can...

early in the morning when ive had my coffee lol. nah i like to do it after they had some light and water to purk them up a bit before the slaughter. the leave trims easier when perked. Other than that I dont have an opinion, and never compared. to many variables to do a pepsi challenge imo.

Sometimes IMO, il leave the plant in the darknes for a further 2 days possibly, this just gives an extra lil it of maturing to the plant/plants! (ONLY IMO and from my experience!) Ive found it "CAN" Add some Good NEEDED maturation, is all, wehn you give her a last couple days in the dark before CHOP CHOP time!!!

Peace, but i usualy HARVEST after the lights have been on, and i switch them off, then HARVEST when IMO, the time is OK to do so, like after a Further 12 hours of Darkness anyway, apart from that, its REALLY (IMO) all good whenever you HARVEST, as long as YOUR plant is MATURE and READY!

Peace all,

P.S, Voted for the 3 hours BEFORE Lights-on, to make sure the HARVESTING time was an accurate kinda time to achieve MInimal or MAximum Maturity anyway, the Darkness HELPS with that anyhow, as MOST will alreadt KNOW!

Thanks everyone....:

i love these threads. im sure there is a slightly better time to harvest, whether we actually have good enough eyes, nose or taste buds to notice is the question. ive tried harvesting at so many different times. after watering, after letting them dry up. couple hours with the lights on couple days with no lights. i just feel that after spending at least two months with them, how do we expect anything to change so drastically within a couple hours? i do agree with devil though. in the mornin after ive had a chance to sip some coughee...

That is dead on! 2 days in dark, if plants are movable, will bring out the best in potency and taste. It really does "Add some Good NEEDED maturation" as DubSpinna stated. This is an opinion from many years of experimenting with just that, harvest time. Otherwise I would harvest at dawn/when light are about to go on or just went on. Peace...........RD

In tha old Mel Frank book they conducted testing of different times of day , to peak potency . They found that after a couple hrs darkness was tha perfect time to harvest . I've stuck to this practice fer many yrs now .

i like to harvest preferrably in the early morning
just like with other herbs for cooking, it is prefferd to harvest them in the early morning, when the morningthaw is gone and the content of the aromatic oils is the highest ...

I think i've always harvested around the middle of the day, alot of coffee, some music, good pair of scissors so you don't get blissters, chill, plants are chopped, trimmed and hung by night time, then there's that great bit scissor hash as a reward after all the hard work

Peace

Just goes to show , there are as many different times a grower may harvest as there are growers . Shoots ...whatever works
