its almost harvest. do i have this right?

just making sure my plans are right.

i have about 2 and a half weeks til harvest. i plan on flushing at 2 weeks before.... now when i flush do i bring my pots to the tub. run water through it until its clear. then let it dry and just water with plain water.

then when its harvest day, chop and cut leaves off then let hang for about 5 days upside down.

then chop the stems off and put the buds in mason jars for at least 2 weeks "burping" at least once a day.

ive never been to this stage yet. are my plans correct?

lol no, and don't flush them in the toilet either. drown them with water making sure water comes out the bottom. mine are in 5 gallon buckets and it takes almost half a gallon to start a flow, do that twice in one watering. so i do that for 4 days 8 total waterings within the 2 week period. understand? cut down hang off a branch for 3-5 days depending on densisity(lol), paper bags for 3 days kind of open at the top krinkled like a kid was carrying it, not too many in one bag either. Then jar for the rest its precious life, burping you know when...

"lol no" ???

the only thing different between mine and yours is the paper bag and the way we go about putting plain water into our pots.


i dont see the joke

anyone else have an opinion

"i plan on flushing at 2 weeks before.... now when i flush do i bring my pots to the tub. run water through it until its clear." thats what i thought was lol no. little overkill no? i mean if you have the tub right there and water to waste sure splash away. try it and let me know how that works. Purified water is going to be much better than the tap too.

Just flushed mine today - 2litre pots, gave them 2 litres each...gonna do the same next weekend then just leave them (maybe watering once more before pulling...)

Ok I flush until water starts running out, then I wait 15 mins then I do it again. The reason I wait 15 mins is for all that salt and crap to go down.
2 more things 1. do it just before lights on, so the plant is not taking up anything ( nutes ) and 2. flush with Molases so when the lights come on the plant will get some benifits of molases.

how do i do the molassas thing. how much? ive heard about it but never read into it. what does it do

You don't need to use any sugars at this point. Plants produce sugars, they don't gain anything from it while flushing. The ONLY use for sugars is to feed microbes in your soil. If you were using it, you should have started a long time ago.

As for your harvesting/curing plan; it sounds fine. After a few grows you can find out what YOU like best (trich colors, curing process, etc.).. and thats the most important part of growing your own smoke.

i read in a book that sweating it up in a bag to draw out the moisture removes most of the aromas and flavors..has anyone noticed this?

Click to expand...

ive tried a couple of methods; with and without the bags...i personally think if you do it at the right time it has better results, i wait until the stem cracks but doesnt snap.. trim them to buds and place in the bag loosely. the moisture content is very low mainly just colas. I leave them in there until the stem snaps usually 3 days and then jar. Putting them in the jar is where it gets that flavor and most aroma. If a strain is potent its not going to have a cardboard taste from a paper bag...IMO
