How I accelerate fade in soil

The taste and harsh smoke is usually a product of improper drying. Fading or not feeding the last few weeks won't change the harshness of the smoke, it just starves the plant at a time when it's putting on it's last bit of weight. It's a personal call, but I feed until chop with organics and have green plants with a few yellow leaves usually. When the dry goes right the smoke is very smooth with no green chlorophyll taste ever.

Yep. This ☝

Its all in the drying and curing process.

Don't starve your plants at any stage.

I’m doing the same thing op,
I’m not completely sure if yellow leaves are always correlated with better taste but 8/10 of the best weed I’ve grown had some fade at harvest. Coincidence?
Everyone in these comments acts as if theres been 100 controlled experiments on the topic it’s ridiculous. So many know it all’s here.

Another way to induce fade is a microbial bloom.

I found using those microbial powders bubbled in worm castings and molasses for 24hrs produces so many microbes they horde all the N.

But in all fairness as others have mentioned drying is what makes or breaks a harvest. Although I seem to be able to rush dry my stuff in a couple of days and still be smooth :/

Man, Im in day 13 of dry, and this stuff went from dank to hay to dank...it may take 17-18 days before this is ready to buck and trim. It's still damp... 65 degrees, 55%RH. Super huge colas tho, and did a no pre trim hang. It is in sections tho, and not whole plant hang.
