Milky / amber and time of day to harvest

It's just odd cause three of my six are 100% milky with about 75% of hairs red/brown but I'm roughly 6 weeks into flowering. Headband x2 and Lemon OG Kush x1. Pistols on July 18th if someone else can check my math.

yea i just harvested my BC big Bud - indica Pheno. i had exactly the same thing go on, 45 days of flowering (Week 6.5) and i had 60% Brown pistols, with 90% Milky and 10% Amber..... i harvested it literaly an hour ago.

pistols on July 18'th means your plant flowered 1 day after mine hahaha. thats perfect buddy, i would say harvest them when you FEEL its right, some times the plants can throw you a hard ball.

Can I see a link that claims THC develops during day hours??
I understand resin develops during the day due to the higher uv content and trichs are basically sunblock for a plant (to an extent)
Iv always read and seen outdoor growers and indoor, harvest during peak dark due to coolness of air and well iv heard that THC is at a lower content when light hours or higher amounts of heat are admitted. Most indoor growers Even harvest after 48 hr dark.
I wait till I'm past 60% cloudy. But I'm one too whom believes indoor vs outdoor are 2 completely different worlds. 2 different techniques. I do agree however that trichs mean everything. But also believe maturity has alot to do with the pistols too.

i dnt have any other option but to harvest at night, im gonna have to go in the woods chop em, put em in a garbage bag and walk down the street w/ in when every1's sleeping

well, im the kind of person who realizes that indoor growing, is just trying to copy what mother nature has allready done.

Read the link i posted on post #18. greenmanspage has all the scientific info you need. and it shows you how to recreate the experiment to prove it for yourself.

Well you better.... seeing as 60% clowdy is only 60% ripe.

Trichomes and Pistols are 2 different things there friend. when i say 60% brown pistols, i mean 60% brown PISTOLS.... not trichomes..... 90% milky = 90% Cloudy trichs..... if you harvest before 90% cloudy 10% amber the smaller 4-5 cell trichomes dont have time to mature, only the visible 24+ Cell trichomes are ripe.....

put em in a garbage bag and walk down the street w/ in when every1's sleeping

man i did this with my opium poppies like a month ago..... seriously sketchy. i felt like a fool with a backpack full of 80+ opium seed pods. 3 AM seems to be key, sleepers are sleeping and workers are at work.

there are so my opinion out there its unbelievable ! the only guys i trust r people with actual factual experience!

here's a scientific research concerning resin production , indeed it confirms that resin is made during the day and not as splattered everywhere in this website during night! UV-B's are the catalyst !
