I fed until the week I planned to harvest, just regular nutes. I don’t flush unless it’s to correct a serious nute issue, never at the end, nor do I do a dark period thing. I don’t know of any other crop that is raised that way, so I figured it was likely not necessary.
I have tried those things, but honestly I can’t tell the difference, so why go through the extra trouble.
Okay that makes sense. Adding this to my log so I don’t beat a horse. Lol. Putting in 873ppms of nutes and PH 5.9. Molasses or no? I know it feeds your microbes and good bacteria. Tribus? Great white?
Okay. I’m definitely doing a bud wash this time!!!
That I did with my last plant b/c she had had bugs, ew. I was a little nervous but it all was fine.
Knock on wood haven’t had that issue!! Thank god! Just my cat hair floating in there from time to time. Digs coming in and visiting while I’m playing in the garden. No biggie. But don’t want to smoke it either. Lol
Just watered gallon and a half on little girl and 2 gallons on big girl
If you didn’t microbe this go around, definitely next time. I do microbes once a week or so. Molasses once between microbe feeds. So if I do microbes on Wednesdays, I do molasses on Friday and Monday (more or less). The molasses is just food to keep the microbe colonies alive, more than anything else I think.
Edit: wow I read carefully 
I see now you already said that about the molasses. Yep. You’re on the money there
I do it where I feed Tribus once a week and do great white every other week. Just wasn’t sure if I should add those this close to the end or not but I did so we’re all good lol.
Yeah, absolutely. I prefer to keep the microbes alive as long as possible. You never know when the plant might take a little longer than you thought, or when the stump will pull out of the pot way easier than you expect and you can reuse it. If I keep the microbes and root zone happy, I have a fine time just plopping a seedling right into the hole where my harvested plant used to live. If I let the coco dry out and my microbe colonies die, I have to rewash, rebuffer and reinnoculate the whole deal.
That sounds interesting! I just dumped last one and washed the pot. Might not use the 2 gallon ever again. Gonna stick with these 5 gallon pots.
Questions. What is going to be the best way to dry this small plant? Hairs are 90% orange, you r seen trichomes in it.
Cut at the stalk and hang it whole , imo
Okay figured that’s what I should do.
Bigger plant, cut in branches, take off big fan leaves and hang to dry? Or should I do try trimming. I know it’s preference but based off my environment which would be better. 55% RH and about 72°F
I’d remove only the real big fans, they’re a PITA later on to remove. Otherwise I’d just dry as close to whole as possible. Easier and slows the dry way down
Okay so you’re saying to just dry the big plant whole as well?
Being that there is a 1-2 weeks left should I do a defoliation to really focus on bud sites? If so how much?
Nope. Buds are grown by getting energy to the leaves. Bud sites “mature” in when exposed to light, due to light decay not because they’re actually benefiting.
Okay. I was pretty sure I didn’t need to but wanted to double check.
When you have air circulating in your drying tent, you don’t want it to be like in the grow tent correct? You just want air slowly slowly moving? Like just a little fan at the bottoms in front of one of the intakes and my online fan extracting at say like 5? Hopefully this makes sense @Graysin
I wish I was more help there. I don’t use a tent to dry. My wife has always been supportive so I get to hang and dry in my spare bathroom.
I have a small fan blowing under the hanging camnabis. I use it to disperse humidity from the poor mans humidifier I use inside my dry tent.
Do you have a fan controler that turns on the fan based on humidity and temp? 5 prolly a lil high if you dont.
Whatever you can do to maintain about 65% rh and cool temps. Myself usually drying around 75 degrees but cooler is better. You want air moving in the tent but not blowing on the flowers themselves.
I follow this vid to a T.
thank you for the video share buddy! I have the ac finity extractor 4” in-line fan in the grow tent but I don’t need that for the first two weeks of growing new plants do I? I have little small 5” office fans that don’t oscillate. Should I just lay one on the floor face down and have my ac finity lower like 2-3? The first harvest dried way too fast I think and never was able to lose the chlorophyll. Never lost the hay taste or smell. Bought a disco ball spinner to keep them rotating as well
