Ice &/or darkness

Grow Cycle Harvesting
1

Can someone give me a little info on ice watering and when to do it please. Im keen to experiment :sunglasses:
and also 48 hour darkness? Seems everyone does this differently. Some just leave alone for 36/48 hours, some continue to flush intermittently, some place them back into light to dry them out after the 36/48 hours. Its very confusing… anyone done this and had results that have made a difference? As always TIA! :kissing_closed_eyes:

If you’re going for it, really go for it.

7 days before harvest: drill or split the main trunk

5 days before harvest: water thoroughly with ice/ice water; this is your last watering

2 days before harvest: lights out for good

yeah been reading about splitting too, all these together tho? do you not think she will have a major stress out and breakdown? :thinking:

Well, since you’ll be harvesting w/in a week…the stress is what you want to make your plant panic that it’s winter or it’s injured, to produce more trichs.

If you do all of this & still expect your plant to survive for weeks…yeah you’ll have issues.

These techniques are only used when harvest is imminent.

I still see a lot of white pistols. Examaning the trichomes on the flower under 30x-60x is the best way to decide.

What is shown is well sugared. If the rest of plant looks as good, you could harvest now.
And have a wonderful time enjoying the fruits of your labor and TLC.

I still have clear trichomes. 3 plants left in fabric bags. Getting colder here. Are they going to change? How fast do they change. Got a good look with a hand microscope. Thank you.

I’m gonna have to buy me a one. Too cold here for outside grow mate. Brrr!
I’m pondering whether to pull them now or just leave for a few days longer. Really want to try this 48hrs darkness thing. Might just bite the bullet x
