I'm pretty much ready to harvest, however I also recently moved and my plant is still at my parents house. I live about 40 min away now but work is in the middle. my lights come on at 3am and I work at 4am. what I'm trying to figure out is, would it be better to just take the loss of sleep and drive over early in the morning or could I let it run dark for an extra 9 hours for when I got off work? like unplug the light when it shuts off the night before. third option would be just harvest before sunset/lights off. I know its best to do it at sunrise but given the situation just looking for options.

@jaspersonn hmmmm.... I think I'd give them the extended dark ahead of time if they were mine.

@jaspersonn I'd let them have the extra dark time. No need to lose any sleep and the extra dark won't hurt

It's actually a myth that a dark period has any effect on harvest time. That being said, you are best to harvest just before or as lights come on. I have harvested plants mid light cycle, middle of the dark cycle, 2 days left in the dark and even taken half a plant and left the rest for a week to finish up the lower stuff and never seen a massive difference if I'm honest. Don't lose sleep over it, just go and harvest when you have the time to get it all done without rushing. 

I feel like a, like a slice of butter... melting on top of a big-ol' pile of flapjacks... yeah.
