I took down Marge nearly 2 weeks ago and dried her out. It was a bit early for her as the smoke hasn't been all that strong but it's pleasant enough and getting the job done.
Lisa and Maggie however were night and day. The extra grow and ripening time made all the difference. I got just over and ounce from Marge but the other 2 are fairly dense so a good bit of drying is coming first. I'll sample some of Lisa and Maggie before and after curing. I've got a feeling it's knock my on my arse ๐
Nice my friend, I would definitely recommend topping as it can seriously increase yield and I find it easier to lst.
Buy if your gonna top then do it just before you feed then it helps with the stress ๐๐๐
@Kommandant666, never fimmed mate only ever topped and trust me I wouldn't go back to natural.
Key is nice healthy plant growing day by day top between the 2nd or 3rd week depending on growth and after you do it feed them it helps with the stress
I seen a guy put a small bucket in his tent with a towel half in and out if the bucket, pointed the fan at it and the towel acted like a wick and brought water up then when the fan air hit it presto it raised it and in the plus side if it goes up to much you can lift it out ๐๐๐
@Green_fiend, I actually tried the towel method with my NLA grow but it didn't work so well, a lot of hovering over it and making sure it didn't dry or get too humid. Wound up just placing a water dish in the corner and letting the heat from the lights do the work. Normally sit around 35% and that raised it to a nice 42 - 48% pretty reliably. Think there needs to be a pretty specific temp range for it to work like this tho, just been super lucky ๐
