Anybody ever get sad after cutting down first?

I know it sounds dumb, but I just finished chopping down my first grow. It was kind of sad like losing something. I am going to half water cure and half air dry. From what someone told me on this site she was a Lowryder#2. Anyways, anybody else ever feel melancholy over a plant?

Nope, because I put more plants in flower as soon as I take some out!

Oh yeah, and don't water cure, it takes away all of the flavor.

I can see how people get sad. I was upset that I had to put down a tomato plant due to a bad DWC experience (Pythium). I think it is only human nature to bond with things that you devote time and attention to.

Clones can ease that feeling though

And some of the smell...which in some cases is benefit.

well when I said half, it was more like 1/4th of the plant. I just dont feel like waiting for the normal cure. I also have another plant that isn't ready to be harvested yet. This was my first grow EVER with bagseed and outdoor central Florida conditions. I just wanted to see what would happen. I stalk this site daily to learn and cannot wait until the day comes that I start a serious grow. Late, v-dub

im gonna watercure 2 spears and let the rest air dry....first time i chopped mine...i left a cuple spears on the plant...took everything else..the top weighs about 15 grams wet

I totally know how you feel. I sprouted two seeds in very early May and they both turned out to be female. I nursed them all the way until the end of October up until a few days ago.

I knew them too. I watched them grow from a tiny seed until they were almost twice my height! I'd go out every day, probably twice just to kinda watch them.

I'm not a spiritual person by any means, but I apologized when I cut them down. The only solace was they were completely unfertilized; they were going to die either way.

I totally kno what ur talkin bout

i just chopped my first grow down n kinda felt a lil empty

Don't worry, it would have died on it's own anyways. You are simply making the best use out of it

i cant wait to cut them down make way for new ones. the faster they come down the better I like nothing more than cutting my plants down i dont like manicuring them though its back braking and a pain in the arse.
