trim before drying?
jamjam887766started grow question 5y ago
I just started drying. Should I have trimmed off the small fan leaves before hanging? Does it make a difference?

It’s all preference imo... it’s easier to leave them on and just pull them off once dried, rather than cutting each one off.
I take the time and get the larger one’s off, but you’ll be fine either way!

I've read many reviews on both on forums, mostly prefer the "dry trim" due to many reasons. try searching for this term.

Harvest timeHello, my girl here is entering in 11th week and I think it’s time to chop? Pistils are 60-40 orange white and most trichromes are milky. I haven’t flushed yet. How long do you think I can let her grow, without any amber trichromes? Thank you a lot.Week 11

Harvest at the same time?Do you guys think that I can get away with harvesting these plants at the same time? (Guessing in about 10-12 days) Would the Cookies be too ripe...? I would be fine with only a slight decrease in THC levels if it means I can use my tent to harvest both plants.Week 8
