Instead of talking about personal prefference it is better to search for a fact based answer. Here is a link to the Advanced Nutrients website. It is the number one nutrients used by cannabis growers. And they explain why you should not water your plants 3 days before harvest. https://www.advancednutrients.com/articles/harvesting-big-buds/#:~:text=Stop%20Watering%201%2D3%20Days,it%20will%20increase%20resin%20development. You can water again when you are planning to chop her in a few days. But when you are planning to cut her today I would not water again. Enjoy your harvest! 😋

I would take any article from a nutrient brand "especially Advanced Nutrients" with a grain of salt, their goal is to sell you more, they have bias and they show it. It might have been based in some facts but its so far from the truth it just marketing to the user base. Marketing is the new smoking but for your wallet vs body lol. This is nothing new either some brands are just worst then others. They all use the same things in the fertilizers, they market and sell it at higher cost, and make special claims and fancy logos/packaging, all things in it to keep the people buying their products till they realize otherwise. its all the same shit diluted in water, cost point should be based off of concentration. End of day, flushing is a myth and not needed, branded cannabis products cost more and are designed to be mad scientisty to make you feel special. Water the plants, being extra dry and hot will mess with the terpene profile and some of them may evaporate out to fast. Dry low and slow cure min 3 weeks, I like to cure min 3 months for best results. some of the best week I had was curing for 6 months as I forgot about it in a closet. Cheers,

I, personally, don't flush nor put them through 48 hours of darkness - and I certainly don't withhold water from them in their last week! I made the mistake once of not watering for a week prior to the chop and damned near lost the entire grow as it was drying out (DYING out!) before my eyes... I delayed that chop in order to give it more water and get that moisture back into the plant... You don't want to dry an already dead and dry plant... Good luck!

Do not water for 3 days before harvest. The soil should be fairly dry, but not dry enough that plants wilt. This will speed drying time by a day or 2 and not affect the quality of cannabinoids. When you bend the branches ant they break when bended 90 degrees they are dry enough to be cured. Put them in a Vacuüm container with 62% humidity. You can use a Boveda pack. I always use overkill packs for 500 grams (67 grams) for every 100 gram and stuff the weed in a little to wet and the Boveda pack will regulate within a day. But you can also just use the burping method to reach the 62% humidity. Cure for at least 2-3 weeks and you've got some top shellf cannabis! Enjoy your harvest!

I would give them a bit of water and then chop, If not the plant will have less water in it and will dry out faster. The key to dry low and slow and a nice long cure. Most weed I grow drys in about a week and almost always I over dry it. When I start to cure it I toss it into the jars with them humidity packs and call it a day they make it better. If you pressed for time. chop and dry then cure, if you have some extra time, water. wait two days then chop, dry and cure. Good Luck!

Ppl try dif methods of drying. This one I've tried. To be honest. Wasn't my fav stressed the plant to bits before went into dark rest and as there was no fluid in the plant idk even if the dark rest really done its proper job. I'm not sure. Your weed will dry really quick. And, a longer dry is a more likely to result in better end product. You can leave them. But, if you gonna not water just harvest without the dark rest. That's what I think. Good luck.
