clearly it got too close to the light... it doesnt take long. I have been there. Learn from this and move forward from here.

This is NOT heat stress... this is a healthy plant in full transpiration, ie, a very happy plant drawing up a lot of water. When you see the leaves do this you know that the water pressure in the xylem is at its maximum and the roots are happy.Here is a very good example of a plant showing signs of heat stress.

Are u referring to the early tacoing in veg? Or the trichomes ?

The first post and your picture. The leaf at the 12:00 position is clearly shriveled up due to heat and as you questioned, a short term time being too close to the light. I have nothing constructive to add about the trichomes other than the advice to wait till at least 5% amber. Anything after that is strictly personal choice.

It is totally a matter of personal opinion. The more mature it is, the deeper the couchlock effect usually is, and some people just don't like it that intense. Do some multiple harvests and sample the results at 5,10, 20 and 30 and see what you think!Reading around on the perfect time to chop chop
Some says wait till 5% amber , others say 30%
I am confuuuused
Need more opinions
Noting that I’m growing a super silver haze

One more flush to go , but do I need to do the 48 hours dark period before chop chop
There's really no need for any dark period,just chop and dry.
When you dry them hang them in a dark,well ventilated area

i am now a fan of that dark period at the end... after I tested it.

I have it documented in one of my journals... forget which one now, but I did report that the maturing process of the trichomes continued, giving me a larger percentage of amber. Most striking is that the trichomes got larger, therefore the frost was deeper. The smoke cured out to be noticeably better than the test batch grown right along with it. All research pointed to the fact that the period of darkness, no nutes, no water... definitely made the plants do put their every last bit of effort into finishing up those buds.

Thank you guys for your continuous support , wouldn’t have made it without u
Finally harvested the babies
Did the dark period before chop
It took us 6 hours to wet trim the buds, the resin -hash- collected from the scissors was enough to make a j and it was so rewarding after all the hard work
Buds hanged in a dark sealed tent with an in-line fan for intake and an exhaust carbon filter. Oschilating fans moved out of the tent as emilya said no fans,
Temp19-21 Celsius RH:50-60%
