Hindu Glue

Week Eleven - Last Wednesday I flushed the container by slowly pouring two gallons of Distilled water, discarding the run-off. I haven't watered her since then and she feels like 90% of the water have evaporated/dissipated. After having done that, it seems the main stalk became flexible because the main Cola began falling over due to the weight. I had to tie her upright by using some dried stems and bread wire ties connected to the sides of the tent corners. The Trichomes have begun turning amber and are around 30% today. I took the photos today and plan on Harvesting her around Wednesday of this week. I appreciate all the input offered last week, thank you to everyone! I do have one question if anyone would care to answer. You can see the plant, I plan on just cutting her at ground level and hanging her to begin the curing process. Given the number of leaves and where they are located, is it advisable to leave them on the drying plant or to trim them now while she is hanging? I get differing opinions on that issue. Some say to trim everything while others say to allow the leaves to wrap around the buds. Which is suppose to slow down the evaporation within the buds. I have tried both ways but, I still don't know what is the proper way. Well, that is it for this week! I should be posting a Harvest next week, although the final photos might take a few weeks to get posted since there are more steps that happen in just one week.
