I don't give my plants a dark time before harvest... some of my friends do but only 1 day... and they can't tell me why they do it or what the benefit is so I don't bother. I WILL tell you I let one of my grows dry completely from its flush before I harvested her and I regretted doing that because it was like dry trimming which I absolutely hate (too much loss of trichomes as they tend to break off).
If I HAD to give my plants two days of dark, I would most certainly water them beforehand...
Good luck!

I do 48 hours dark but I continue to water them I do personally believe that my girls benefit from the dark period 🙏💚

I also read that in such cases the nutrients from the plants go back to the ground because they are not used in the dark, now what of these is true? I am interested in the answer of a producer whose diary I see some difference in whether it is worth doing this or a waste of time.

Would it be ok to dry for 2 weeks without any trim?My grow is taking longer than expected and life is getting in the way. I will not be able to harvest personally so when the time comes my friend will chop the plants and hang them in the tent. After that I will not be able to do any trim for 2 weeks, will my harvest still be ok?Week 7

When is she ready.Sorry but I need help from those who have done this. I'm trying to figure out when to harvest. Am I looking at days or maybe a week to harvest. All I'm doing is giving water and waiting. Thanks again to those who help the newbies.

Bud rot harvest?Bud rot or normal purpling underneath? First grow and harvest and found some purple when cutting off the fan leaves before hanging to dry (going to dry trim). Anything I should be looking for in particular. I don't see any other signs of mold.

Royal Flush👋😃 You guys are great! Next question: So I've only used tap water, will flushing with distilled water make any difference since I didn't use it through the grow? Also when/why would one use a flushing agent and is it beneficial to the plant?? Thank you guys in advance :)Week 10

Besides the help I've been getting from you guys I've been comparing my trichomes to this image.... Is it accurate? 🤔
How long would it take for the second image to mature to the third image and is it worth the wait? 🤔
And that would also depend on the strain as well I bet 🧐

Homemade drying boxI have to keep my dry separate (and concealed) from my growing room. I read an article about making a drying box with a tote and a fan rigged up now I can't find it. How do y'all do it?
Already have a fan and large tote. Just need good tips to get me ready to go when ready.

When to harvest? in 1 week or in 3 weeks?Next week I'll be away for 2 weeks for my holidays.
Should I harvest in 1 week and leave her drying unattended or have someone watering her, harvest her in 3 weeks and dry her with all the care then?
I really don't have a controlled setup for drying...Week 10
