If you are harvesting I would not wet the soil because you want the plant to know it’s life is coming to an end. If you are turning of the lights for the flowering phase. I still wouldn’t because you increase your chances of root rot, disease or pests. If the soil is really dry then I definitely would do a very light watering.

Heya, I like to dry out my plants before chopping, in your case not watering before the darkness period. You could water it but it would also just add to your drying time. Cheers

Never water before a dark period, too much risk of pests, mold, and plants do not use the water. Keep on the great care! Happy smokes!

I dont put my plants in darkness, shrinks your buds, but if they were needing a drink before then, then I would give them just a little water. Cheers friend

Bend Her Over?Any chance of super cropping a thriving auto on day 42? She hasn’t flinched at training yet; and got hacked on. I’m running out of vertical space with some developing runners. She’s going to stretch a bit yet, and currently 12” from light with 650 PPFD. Bend, or not to bend?

"dunking" fabric pots in solution for feeding?I have recently been presented with the concept of "dipping": submerging fabric pot in solution for about 8 seconds and then picking up to drain. It is intriguing to me but I am curious about it causing overwatering or root rot. Thoughts?
