If you chop once the lights have been on they have sucked up water from the medium...if you chop RIGHT BEFORE lights go on, in the dark, there is way less moisture in them to begin with.

Don't give them water for at least 48 hours before chop - longer if they can tolerate it without getting all wilted - and choping in the dark, before the light goes on. This will shave days off your drying time no matter what. I always say try and keep the RH rouhgly between 40-50% when drying

I also like to ask the old timers who have been growing longer than I've been alive what THEY do... Years and years and years of anecdotal evidence of the effectiveness/positive impact curing has should tell you something. I was young, dumb, and thought I knew better than the old timers once...

Lets all be clear about something else... If you hang, then store in a jar...your curing your bud. If you hang and don't put in a jar or other container, your bud won't be evenly dry through out. AND for all who say they don't cure and like fresh...I guess your product getts worse each...

ALL of my posts are just my opinions and what has worked well for me. Everyone else's milage may varry, I'm just sharing what has given me the best results over the years.

I'm not touching that with a ten foot pole. I would say keep doing what your doing, lol. If your feeding a normal dose of bloom nutrient, that is fine it already has reduced N in it. I would avoid anything with extra N in it though. You can pump it full of nutes untill your almost...

I guess it depends on how big your property is, lol.

Plants use WAY LESS nutrietns during their last couple of weeks. Again people chop early and think they swell in the last couple of weeks. I don't start seeing a decent amount of amber until after the buds are done swelling for the most part. This has been my experience anyway.

I almost eliminate N completely after week 4-6. They get minimal N from my super low dose of base nute(approx 200ppm) and the other 400-600ppm is P and K(the product I use is liquid koolbloom which is 0-10-10) until I start flushing. This is just what I do, and it works really well for me...

Seeing leaves turn yellow, purple, or even get crispy and start to fall off during the last few weeks is totoally normal and the sign of plant that is naturally finishing it's life cycle. A plant that is green at harvest has been artificially pumped with fertilizer, and IMO feed too much. If...

Plants are suppose to get yellow before you chop...look out your window and look at the trees...they are changing colors and leafs are falling off - that's what cannabis is suppose to do! It's not naturally suppose to stay green until harvest. Too much N is bad in flower, keeping your shiz...

I don't know why people are starving plants, by the time I start my flush my buds are swollen to the max. Im waiting for trichs to ripen and see more amber during my flush. I think people harvest way too early, so they start their flush way to early.

I have a cut a Jack that you could pick lower buds off of, lights on, in week 6 of flower that blows the average smoker away... I would put my jack herer unflushed, premature, and not cured against ANY bud ANY day. Doesn't mean I'm satisfied with that and I'm gonna chop it early, not flush...

I have never came across a strain I didn't like even better after a soild 1 month cure - especially the dense kush strains You have alot to learn grasshoper :) I hear what your saying, but you need to experiment. Your selling yourself short. I've tried to flush, not flush, cure, not cure...

I wonder how many 'duds' the paper towel and water CREATES? Are you getting seeds that don't pop using the paper towel or water method? If I buy seeds from a reputable breeder, it's a rareity that one is a dude - might of happened just a few times in all my years of growing. In the...
