Forum Stomper ready to harvest??? Give her a couple more days???

[R Wayne]

Day 73, I see like 15% amber. Need some opinions. Not sure if I should harvest tonight or in a few days?

I like to harvest at this stage, its a more fizzily buzz. More amber is more of a body buzz, so go by your own tastes.

I would give it 24-48 hours total darkness before cutting.

If you're after 15% amber you are not there yet. Harvest is quite a personal thing. Some like it racy and some like it stoney...
And forget about the two days in the dark (sorry @Drownomatic ). When you hang your plants/branches up to dry in a "dark room" they will get enough "dark time" to amber up.
I would let them stay at least another week as I see loads of clear trichomes, but do check daily as the tipping point can come all of a sudden.

Thank you good sir. I'll give it some more time.

@Drownomatic I also heard that by taking away the plants ability to photosynthesize (light) you reduce it's ability to create secondary metabolites (trichs, cannabinoids, terps). So the whole 2 days in the dark is partly a myth. I say partly because there is evidence that a significant drop in temps towards the end does the opposite. Now if I could only keep the light on and drop my temps...

I've heard of people icing the container, but never tried it.
