Water, and water soluble substances such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium carbonate, Magnesium, Ketopentoses and Pentoses....etc do move throughout the plant, but photosynthesis must be occurring for any of these substances to contribute to building a THC molecule.

If anything, the evidence would point towards a highest THC content achieved at a daytime harvest (not trying to prove this, just using chemistry, physics and logic to inform you that harvest window does not get as definitive as you would like).

If your worrying about your thc content not reaching its potential by your final 2 weeks, then your harvest hour is the least of your concerns.
Mr. Chow, i am not understanding your "percent weight by leaf matter"? GC tests are conducted properly by removing ALL the leaf matter, regardless of trichome production, to get down to the actual percentage of the pistillate "buds"
mr_chow said:i've read multiple opinions on this...but i have to be with the crowd that likes to harvest at/before first light...or after extended periods of dark (48-72hrs).
reasoning: mj, like most other plants likes to store it's starches/sugars/nutes in the rootmass during the dark cycles. most extraneous starches/nutes/etc go south when lights start to dim and stay in that area until first light, when they all get "energized" and start moving back into the leaves/extremities of the plant.
so....with that being said, i think that harvesting right before first light or at it or after an extended dark period is best. ...reduces starches/nutes/etc in the leaves/extremities and lends to a "smoother" smoke. so "they" say.
peace,
