When To Harvest For Max Flavor & Aroma:
For the best answer, we turn to non-cannabis crops.
In crops like grapes and tomatoes, where flavor is important, farmers aim for the highest sugar content (measured in BRIX) at the time of harvest.

We've learned from these fruit-bearing crops that the best harvest window for flavor begins around "dusk" and ends mid-morning as temperatures begin to rise to their height.
Harvesting early in the morning will allow you to have the highest BRIX level and sugar content.

When flavor is a key element to a crop, harvesting in late evening and early morning, before it gets warm, will give you the highest sugar content you're going to have
This harvest window may make for a long night, but it'll give you the best possible end product.
