When I harvested this last time, I didn't fuck with any of that three days in the dark shit. I just started pulling plants and trimming all the major fan leaves, then the buds went on lines for about a week. From there I went to jars, but it was too early, so I went back to paper bags until the stems were cracking(not quite snapping, but thats relative. When I think snap, I think *DRY*), now they're back in jars. Oh, and I waited until about 30% of the trichs were amber. The bud has a great sativa head buzz, the kind of creeper buzz that makes your head feel warm and fuzzy. Anyway, I left the lights on 12/12 while I was harvesting, since it took me a few days to get it all down, and I just kept watering with no nutes, and the buds seemed to do better for it. I noticed the fan leaves started to wither and die around the buds, and the buds themselves started to look like they were opening, like a flower does, but in a different way. Kind of hard to explain I guess, I'm no expert, so, sorry if this isnt making too much sense.. ANyway, by the time we were done, and it was all on lines, it all looked really great. It lost alot of its size on the lines, almost 60%, but it wa still moist, and thats when we pulled it and trimmed all the big stems, and then those buds are what went into bags, then jars. I was going to add pics, but my camera sucks, or else I just dont know how to use it. Every time I try to do a close up pic its very blurry...
damn digital cameras.
