For the Trichome Watchers

[Little Brother]

I'm not certain about this but it seems they are testing an already chopped and cured plant. As the plant loses water weight the ratio of thc to everything else changes. Like if you had 10% salt water solution and let the water evaporate. The percentage of salt would increase

Does anybody have any shoe string budget tips for how I can put my plant into 48 hours darkness without a drying tent.

Ideas suggested so far have been...

1) A bed sheet around the plant in the tent.
2) A cardboard box over the plant in the tent
3) A Bin raised of the ground in the tent slightly with the plant inside with 2 holes in the top for airflow

As you'll see these 3 suggestions all involve leaving the plant in the tent but I'd rather not if I can help it to free up the space.

Massive thanks in advance.

I'm just an old stoner who only grows for his own meds and quality of bud is my only goal. Don't give a shit about yeild or how to increase it. I grow bonzai style in 3 ltr or less pots, everything 12/12...autos and photos...
That being said, my data is skewed by my not- so- normal grow protocol and my test for potency and effect is ONE bong rip. Can never tell if it sat in dark long enough...

In the early days of my indoor growing, 20 yrs ago, my layman's view of growing and harvesting went through all the trials and tribulations one can endure and still survive with some pertinent info.

All theses tips and tricks must be tried as a new grower, just to confirm to yourself the validity and usefulness of doing it.....So just do it to say you tried.
I've drowned, starved, did this, did that and most points in between and found there's a lot of work involved to obtain very little increase in anything.
Now I just keep plants healthy to my point of harvest, chop, dry, cure. They get enough dark after all that. The best increase in potency comes from proper drying/curing.

So today I am right on 8 weeks from sprout.
Auto Amnesia from msnl.
It says 8-10 weeks,so I assumed harvest would be a while.

Just wanted to get some thoughts from those that have plenty of experience if my girl is actually ready for harvest.

The other thing is that I am going away on Friday and returning on Monday.
Temps will be low in the storage room Friday night and Saturday when lights go out.Temp in tent will probably drop somewhere in the 50's for 6 hours.


Would you harvest now or let her go until next week.

Or would you chop half now and the rest next week.
Or do I still have a while to go.

Hopefully you can see enough with the pics.
Was the best I could do.

Cheers
