Once its had a slow dry for a 7-10 days its ready to smoke fellow
and if you want to remove the odd bud in the last week of flower, chop it up and fast dry it in a tray over the toster, its not a great smoke but it will help with the pain done it a few times

No way!!!! I've always wondered if that would work. You shouldnt have told me that, by the end of flower my babies will be a mess, looking like ive set an animal loose on them....

lol mate its all down to self control, next you will be pulling any fan leaves off with resin on, dry it and smoke it
only joking mate don't smoke the fan leaves lol
gives you a headach

My supply will definately be gone before i can finish curing them, am I correct in thinking that once the initial drying is done you can smoke it?

I've been growing 12 years now Probably 20 harvests or so, and I still take a nug after a few days of drying, I let mine dry for 10-14 days it all depends on the snap of the stem. I start smoking it as soon as she's dry and the rest of the buds only get better with curing.

hey guys i am posting a little update on the one lady ! 25 days into flowering and i would like some feedback!

well those have certainly frosted up nicely, loving the progress, love seeing loads of hairs like that, gets exciting whats up with those leaves tho?

I am not sure if i got water on them from the food I am feeding her or if the leaves are just old and dieing off? Some leaves have like a yellow orangeish spotting on them and others are just dried up and eventually die. any tips would be helpful

Not sure, I got light burn on mine from water, but it was much lighter in color, less orangey. Your bottom leaves look the same as mine, old and dying off, its the few further up, maybe slight magnesium def.

this is what food i am using if this can be the problem , or if i am not giving it enough food?

@Tokertimmy If i was using food like this i would go for a tomato feed instead of flowers like those described, you'll find a lot of the nutes made for weed are the same as those made for tomatoes, if not very similar. I think what you're using should be ok for now, but you'll need calmag with that too i think. I'm still learning mind you so don't take this as 100%, do some reading up on things like this. One thing i would definately do is get calmag plus

The pros may be able to help you with this a bit more. I personally use biobizz tri pack + calmag.

looks good but you could gain a higher yeild if you cause a v shape with the top shoots and drop the light a few inches

The yeild and best qualty buds are going to be at the top 6" of the plant so more light can get to the bud sites the better the yeild

Pull apart the two lenghts of bammbo and tie them to the sides of the pot.

Ideal results would be to drop the light in the middle of the plant so its 1" above the main shoots and couple of inches off the light

hey jack last night i made a few changes with her and took your information and made the V shape with her. Here is a picture with the update

that looks great
you have loads of light getting deep into the canopy now, so the plant can turn the extra light into bud.
