This is the best one yet!

I like to let them dry out a bit the last few days before cropping but that is just so I don't need to move super heavy pots.quick question for the bodhi brothers and sisters.
harvest with wet root zone or dry root zone? Does it make a difference?
I pay for water since mines so shit, I wait for those suckers to be just about bone dry. takes a day or two off the drying too.quick question for the bodhi brothers and sisters.

I think everyone sort of finds what works best for them. Ive tried every way u have ever heard of and my preference is a heavy flush than let them get real dry.I've always harvested with moisture in the medium if you let them get really dry does it speed up the drying since they haven't had a drink in a long time? Just wondering if it makes a difference. I like slow dry anyways so I like them to have some moisture
I've noticed that the plants I harvest in drier soil dry faster than my hydro plants for sure. But I could be tripping.I've always harvested with moisture in the medium if you let them get really dry does it speed up the drying since they haven't had a drink in a long time?

Oh I noticed that for sure between hydro and soil. On my last harvest with soil I let them dry all the way out just about and they dried way to fast for me 4 days tops but they still cured well but luckily I caught them or they would've dried way too fast. My hydro harvest took almost 7-10 days to dry. That's why I was wondering tho cuz I had never let my soil plants dry out like that before harvest. I've done the darkness thing too didn't see no difference but I do harvest in the dark cycle just cuz they are synthesizing during lights on so I always wait till lights are off before I chop.I've noticed that the plants I harvest in drier soil dry faster than my hydro plants for sure.

I've read that the cannabinoids, or thc, increase during the night cycle because it is being degraded during the hours of light. That is why I tend to cut down right when the light would have typically turned on, or end of last dark cycle. Not sure how much it really does but now it is just a routine habit.Oh I noticed that for sure between hydro and soil.

I've read the same thing bro that's why j harvest in dark cycle too. Also read they will suck up the nutes when they are in the light cycle which is why I harvest during dark cycleI've read that the cannabinoids, or thc, increase during the night cycle because it is being degraded during the hours of light.

All depends on how your humidity is in the area you dry your buds. If the humidity is that low in the space you dry I would run the humidifier and do a dry trim instead of wet trim. Just take major fan leaves off and that's it should slow your drying down. I would hate to have to dry in an area like that would drive me nuts lol I'd be checking buds every minute I can shit I do that now and my humidity is never that lowOk I'll harvest with a wet root zone because I live in a pretty dry climate and prolonging the dry a little bit would be preferred.
Or should I not because I will be running a humidifier?
22% humidity outside today.
Us who live in the PNW have a large advantage growing this plant for a lot of reasons. At least indoors. May God have mercy on those stuck in a desert.I have never in my life seen RH under 40! Wow, a low low low 20 percent?! I wouldn't know how to handle that. My dry takes nine days can be as long as 14 if hanging whole, if I am lucky and wet trim a week in the trays. Then it is still a week or two of sloooooowlllaaaaayyy curing the last bit till it is perfect, a joint will burn down if people smoke with tobacco or not (former is a nasty habit over here people mix half half tobacco and weed ewwww), no burn in throat no matter how big the bong. From chop to smoke can take me four whole weeks!
Personally I do everything possible to slow the drying process down as much as possible. Even to the point where I've had some bad experience with mold. But it's a live and learn type deal. IMO try to keep your RH in the 55-60 range and temps in the mid to high teens at most (like 60-70f for Americans).Ok I'll harvest with a wet root zone because I live in a pretty dry climate and prolonging the dry a little bit would be preferred.

When you mention the nutes thing that makes sense, they need to transport nutes for photosynthesis but no light no transportation.I've read the same thing bro that's why j harvest in dark cycle too. Also read they will suck up the nutes when they are in the light cycle which is why I harvest during dark cycle
