Does the plant after harvest continue in its chlorophyll process..?
And if it does for 2-3 days should it not hang in grow-room to release
last production effort (stored up energy) to grow trichomes...?

? would like some comments on this one.........

Absolutely.. the plants uses its last ditch effort to stay alive. It breaks down the sugars and rest of the beneficial nutrients. It also helps increase potency if you harvest before the light comes on. To avoid this I practice whats called "Stress Ripening" It is as simple as starving the plant of light and nutes for the last 48 hrs to trick it into thinking its on its last leg. Which it is, but she dont needa know that... Lol.
