Nugs1 I think you are right I have been worrying less about hay smell as long as the smell is on the inside because t comes out in cure. For people looking for advice situations like a 3 day dry can make bud permanently smell like hay. Chlorophyll only converts to sugars and leaves the bud...

Smells nice as long as you let it heal 2-3 days before you harvest so moisture doesn’t release from the cuts leading to drying to fast

Thank u my new method is this cause I use hydroton . No water for two I use hydroton so I have been not watering the plant the last 3 days which is like a week of soil drying cause it dries out so quick. I then cut and hang. I have a huge cedar closet I had at 50rh. I bumped to 65 after 1st day...

Anything green goes through photosynthesis after 5-6 weeks the bud has enough calyx swelling and surface area to create its own especially with the sugar leaves.... they should be yellowing at that time anyway. Sometimes the energy pulled to keep half alive leaves is more than the plant can...

I check with a 60x and like couchlock plants have 50% amber when I harvest I trim the top layer of fans and sugars and leave the bottom I’ve personally seen buds triple in size on 9/10 strains

The new prob is smell. In the past I had 8 strains I dried all would dry within 4 days and loose all smell....I figured out to retain smell the dry must be over a week with a rh over 50 and under 60. Works great but I have to crack open buds to get that lovely smell...the outside has the hay...

I’ve seen buds triple in size after last week defoliation I let this bud go 6 days after that picture above

Great info I can definitely feel which buds have started to swell and which aren’t...

Cool thanks for the info I’m gonna give it at least a week start my flush today.....

Someone help this forum has a ton of posters and I never get a view on my threads. Are these ready? 53 days since 12/12. Was told it was Cali Kush. I feel I’m at 80% cloudy but I don’t see any amber at all, and it’s early not even 8 weeks yet.... is it done ??

I was iffy because they are only 7 weeks 3 days since 12/12 flip. Also I’m a indica person I like couchlock. So do you think I can start flushing and I’ll have some amber within a week

Here is a full bud shot

Could you help me out? It’s my 2nd grow I feel they are 80%cloudy but not even 1% Amber?

supposed Cali Kush. I’m 53 days in flower trichomes look 70-80% cloudy to me but not one dam amber trichome. Are these ready?

Thanks here's the final result top bud is strawberry diesel bottom is gorilla glue # 4.......I dried for 3 days on dry rack 50% humidity 75 degrees... small stems snapped big ones almost did they could bend when I jarred them. Used hygrometer never letteing it rise above 70 I would air it out...
