How do you cut your plant for harvest?

Like I've already tried to explain...yes light does have something to do with it.The leaves specifically.You don't understand basic plant processes.. That why you don't understand what I'm trying to say. When a plant has abundant food and light.. It creates sugars (starches) to fuel growth.The LEAVES are sinks... They store these compounds for later growth.When you deprive a plant of light growth will continue as long as fuel is availiable... As photosynthesis can't continue without light, the sugars stored in the leaves are used to fuel that growth. chlorophyll is broken down and starches are consumed from the LEAVES.If you are going to smoke fucking leaves you are going to want to get the most of that shit out of there as possible. Chlorophyll and these stored starches in the leaves is WHY your smoke is harsh. In the case of buds it mainly comes from the sugar leaves... Of course there is Chlorophyll in buds but a much lower concentration then in the leaves.

Light doesn't degrade weed in any way huh?? Lol... Light is a major cause for degradation of THC.

The more you talk the more it becomes evident you shouldn't be calling out anyone... Because you really don't know shit.

I'm mainly insulted over your insistence I don't understand basic processes. Don't get your panties in a wringer because I'm asking questions and making you further explain yourself. You come off looking like a child.

So can I ask this: Are you talking simply leafs or sugar leaf? Like fan leaf or the leaf attached to the bud? Because leafs are going to be harsh no matter what you do to them, sugar leaf included.

So please, tell me how light degrades weed now. I'd love to hear it because I can't find nothing but unverified forum posts about it on grow forums...sort of like most information surrounding cannabis.

Well you didn't start of just asking questions... You started out making claims and "calling me out"... People who aren't well versed in a subject that they need to ask questions, shouldn't be calling anyone out.The fact you changed gears from "calling me out" to asking questions speaks volumes.

I don't have to insist anything.. Your posts here plainly do that for you.

And I said light degrades THC.. This is a known fact. If you haven't found that in your research... Then I'd have to say you haven't looked very hard, because it's widely known.

How light affected the plant and the movement of compounds within the plant isn't degradation per se... It's mainly about using up excesses.The cure will do it naturally but bright green fan leaves will just make the process take longer as more Chlorophyll has to be broken down.Thats why trimming your buds of leaves is good to do... It will speed up the process.

And you are wrong about leaves being harsh no matter what you do to them... Look at how tobacco is cured... It's cured for MONTHS specifically for this reason... To reduce the harshness.
