Harvesting at night?

I was thinking of doing this harvest at night. What do you guys think? Has anyone done this, is it preferred to harvesting in the day, and what should I have on me besides a flashlight? If someone has experience that would be great...

At night, with a flashlight?...good way to get caught my friend.

dude if your going to take a light...atleast make sure its a red lens light so your not just becoming a beacon of light during the night, red lens will keep your harvest stealthier

you want to blend in as much as possible. If you cant navigate the terrain without a flashlight at night, do it in the early morning hours when the sun JUST rises.

i guess it kind of depends on where your grow is, but if at all possible i would try to time it for a clear night with a full or mostly full moon. once your eyes adjust you'll have all the light you need. the red lens is a great idea (also won't interfere with your night vision) but it's still going to be visible up to a mile away, especially if it's bobbing around as you move.

Ive harvested at night before, and if you want to be stealthy like a coyote, night time in the dark is the best time to do it. Ever notice how if you come from a well lit area at night then look into the woods and it looks pitch black, cant see your hand in front of your face kind of thing. Well humans have night eyes also, it takes approximately a half hour for your eyes to adjust to darkness from seeing light. That being said, on a nice well lit moon you go into the woods and your eyes adjust, its amazing how much you can see. I try to stay away from using light, especially flashlights, a flashlight could probably be seen up to a mile away if there was no obstacles at night. I do usually bring a little led light. Im not sure what their called exactly, they hook on the end of key chain and have a little button to power a very small led, and its incredible how much one small little light can light up the woods, but Only to use if I really need to see like where to cut my plants or where to watch my footing sometimes, etc. Lol hope I didnt ramble to much, happy toking

Thanks, my job keeps me in the office at ridiculous hours. So picking a time to harvest is really limited. I think I am going out tonight, at dusk, hopefully everything will be good.

Excited because I am harvesting, and nervous because of the potential dangers lol.

I've been told night/pre-dawn is best. Something to do with photosynthesis messing up the flavor. Depending where you are, the moon should provide enough light.

I can sense that you are excited for both the harvest, as well as the thrill of not getting caught ... Good luck on both counts matey

Studies published by Mel Frank show that THC potency is higher at pre-dawn. I always harvest at 4am.

Would that info be located in this book?.

I would assume it is in that book. My book is an older edition 1988.

I personally prefer early morning as the sun first comes up. Be in the woods 20 mins before sunrise and you should be fine. I prefer to harvest on Sunday if possilbe because most people sleep in on sunday. You could be in and gone before most people wake.
