What would the Pros do .....I did read the "before you ask" FYI post.

with my jewlers loop, I looked over my cannabinoid in a mushroom shape and only a couple per bud of these were starting to lean over to one side. This is after 8 days of flushing, then one day of sun lite without water, then this single plant into 36 hours of darkness for more frost resin. Well, here I am today, looking over the plant, looks to be the exact same condition as when I first placed the plant into a dark room. You can see no change in the over all resin and cannabinoid look the same shape and I might be color blind but I don't see amber except perhaps on the ends of the smallest leaves. What would you guys do at this point? Should I reintroduce the plant to the sun and outside again and wait for better results? Or will the light breakdown the resin at this point? Should I keep the plant in the dark room and focus on avoiding mold, and soon enough the plant will stress itself out and start showing signs of dying? Or should I start cutting, trimming the sugar leaves, hanging the bud in well vented room and stop worrying so much? Thanks for any help you could lean forward.

Cheers,
Gregg

without looking at the trichs, I would say that plant needs a few more weeks. The more you fuck with the light cycle the more chance there will be of nanners popping up. Putting plants into extended dark before harvest, allows the plant to break down starches and replenish trichomes. Doesn't necessarily speed up trichome maturation.

You can't see cannabinoids, they are chemical compounds. The mushroom shaped glands are called trichomes.

That plant needs 3-4 more weeks of nutrients and water.

Great info as always fellow growers. Its funny I was kinda stressed out about posting because I get the usefully lashing by some (a real buzz kill to be honest) so I reread my posting and change the word trichromes to the word cannabiniods because, well I'm only into two grows (harvest) and didn't understand the proper use on the word, however, I see you got the point. But anyways thanks for the help and damn it deadpro... You will be the one responsible if my one plant fails from returning to daylight, as this is the choose I made and yes hope I haven't ruined the light cycle too much. Just kidding deadpro, I'm not looking to blame just information. So my judgement of suspending the cycle and start the next was from posts I've seen here on this forum. The shape, the color, the length of time in flowering, etc of the trichromes. A learning curve I won't forget and only hope someday I too will be spread the love with helpful posts...Cheers

my choice is so far working, trichomes are more and more and look at the night vision photo, you can see all the friut flower, and that is my smallest one.DSC02313.JPG
