Anyone here harvest based on the moon cycle?

Heat and lights cause terpenes to evaporate but it's not like they 'come back' when it gets dark. Harvesting earlier would make more sense if terpene preservation was your goal, doing it at lights out will have no effect.
Yes, which I believe works great in rooms which are too hot or light stressed. I believe in flowering at lower temps (max 72F at canopy level) and don't get the terp fade throughout the lights on period. A 24hr dark period doesn't produce anything 'extra' in the environment I prefer....so Chappi,
This is the science behind a 24 hour dark period before harvest I assume?
...or would an early morning (before lights on) harvest be just as good.

Terpenes are directly corelated with rich humus soil bioactivity and beneficial
bacteries...

I'm hoping you realize "salt based" does not mean table salt or other chlorides. There's a huge misconception in the cannabis growing community about refined mineral based nutrients being referred to as 'salts.' Yes, they're 'salt' forms of elements refined from minerals, minus the synthesized nitrogen in some. They're also plant available forms of natural elements.but then add salt based nutrients like this thread is about
agreed. an trace minerals. excellent link dog star!! im gonna have to put some time aside to read further
i forget, dont fungi feed on fulvic or amino acids? i remember watching a video on a professor talking about why not to add molasses to teas as you can brew unwanted bacteria's as well. an the suggestion was to use Fulvic powder at like 1 oz to 12 gallons. the molasses would create spikes of colonization an if or when it ran out, the micro heard would collapse. the fastest to colonize would take over, and the tea wasnt as well rounded so to say... something to that effect
but then add salt based nutrients like this thread is about, an some of these bacteria or fungi will not colonize.
