I understood what you meant, you're trimming the leaves prior to harvest, due to my canopy size I prefer to pluck the leaves while I hang the branches and pull down the plants. It makes sense that the plants would consume less water too once those fans are removed and most plants I've grown slow their drinking to an extreme once they're ripe so they typically don't need as much water at the end anyhow. Your method would make carrying my 20 gallon pots upstairs a lot easier.You trim the leaves b4 they droop. As i said; Let them get almost dry, then trim, then continue allowing soil to dry, then chop and hang. (and, actually i forgot to add that after trimming all the leaves, you water one more time. (a flush, of sorts)
So, it's: Almost dry, defoliate, water, total dry, plus one week, chop, hang.
