    Do you chop before lights on? I understand it makes the smoothest smoke but that sounds like hella bro science to me

      If I had time this morning I probably would have, if the res was low I may have, but here I am, having a bowl getting ready to hack them down and I’m reminded the lights on still.

      Kid chipped a tooth yesterday, so morning was dentist yay.

          Oh yeah, guys a little trooper.

          I do get kinda where the broscience is coming from. UV(light in general(?)) does degrade THC and cannabnaoids and terpenes. So maybe that last night saves them a little? But wouldn’t they also degrade if you don’t do everything under complete darkness than?

          I’m hoping with it becoming legal we get a lot more conclusive research done with side by sides.

            That’s true, but surely not enough to REALLY matter right? I also read that the plant may send nutrients to the roots at night, to make for a smoother and tastier smoke. During the day all those sugars are in the plant for photosynthesis reasons. But as you can see, I don’t understand it very well.

              For storage it at least does.

              And isn’t that why you dry and cure? For the enzymes to break it down? I don’t know either, these are just my assumptions from my experiences.
