I think 24 hours dark is plenty. When it's time to chop go ahead and chop all plants right away, not allowing the plants to start up taking water.

I harvest with mostly cloudy with a few clear and a few amber. Monday would be for my tastes. I would fool with using nails through the stalk, it’s Bro science imo. Just a short dark period to build up terpenes. They produce new terpenes through the dark period the a lot of terps burn off under the lights during the day period. I chop just before lights on to maximize aroma and taste.

So I am guessing 24 hours of dark Sunday then chop on Monday. I need to trim outside due to smell and there not being enough room for two people trimming in the room the tent and filter is in. Will they change much by then.? Maybe I need to harvest and trim Tomorrow or Thursday. I do like a speedier buzz so maybe I will take them Thursday. The wife will be home on Friday so cant do it Friday or over the weekend
I think you’re in the window for a more energetic high so whenever you’re ready.

Take one or 2 Thursday and finish up on Monday. I never take plants down all in one cut. Cut them down right before lights come on and leave the others on schedule till next week.

I would do that but I need to dry in the tent. I am having my buddy come over tomorrow to help so Tomorrow is Chop day. That works out with our schedule. The wife will be home Friday and I am not sure but she may leave a little early Thursday so it is either Tomorrow or Monday. I want to take them while they are Milky with only a few amber. The smaller two still have white hairs and a lot of green on them. I hope they are ready

Good luck with your chop. Should be a pretty simple decision to harvest if your watching your trichs... I'd be interested to see better trichome pics.
Well done pc! Brought the plants full term with some nice sticky fat buds. Your next one will be even better. Good luck with your harvest!

These are from one of the smaller plants. They don't look as far along as the big two

After I post them I can see Much more detail in them then looking on my phone. They look Milky too so tomorrow is Chop day for sure 
PC, as far as the dark period before chopping. All ya have to do (wat i do) is to pull the timers for the last day....so before the lights come on, the day before you wanna chop...just dont let them see that last day is all ...OK. The reason is not to increase trichomes or increase resin, cuz this does NOT happen. All we wanna do by turning off the lights for the last cycle is to let the plant dump moisture and fluids back into the rootmass and not uptake it all for another day ..understand. ? ......bestest way to harvest ....Cheers eh.....Oh ya about that nail in the stalk.....don't bother PC.....
Oh ya...NO worriez Stickey...
I gotta say I’m with Graytail on this one. I’m thinking 20+ zips. 5oz average for plants in 10 gallon pots, very possible.
your gals look fantastic PC. You’ve gotta be one happy Gardner today!

It’s a very sweet fruity flowery smell reminds me of some haze. The smoke tickles the tip of my tongue and I am high, I feel pretty light, like a light body high feeling, and, well I’m high
