Lower buds crumbled at harvest
TonkaSunstarted grow question 2 years ago
Hi growmates, I tried flushing the last week, and the plant seemed to die, with buds beginning to dry. When I harvested, the lower buds just crumbled. The colas though were still tight. Do you think I should have kept giving nutrients to the end? Has anyone experienced this?

ho guardato il diario alla settimana 9 hai fatto un defogliamento troppo drastico la pianta ha bisogno di luce sulle foglie se togli le foglie la pianta dovra' rifarle quindi invece di indirizzare tutta la forza sulle cime dovra' dividerla tra cime e nuove foglie...
quindi avrai un raccolto ridotto...
per il flush se parti 2 settimane prima puoi irrigare con acqua normalmente ,le piante scaricheranno lentamente assorbendo gli ultimi nutrimenti per poi eventualmente fare un flush abbondante qualche giorno prima della raccolta
eviterai questi problemi..

Extreme defoliation has killed this plant ability to make energy and be healthy, hence the lower, smaller buds dying prematurely.
What you did in week 10 amounts to plant torture in my opinion!
All of the plants energy that it needs to grow and be healthy is made in the leaves.
Less leaves = less energy = less growth = less health = less yields.
I personally NEVER defoliate and for the last 30+ years only ever remove yellow/brown leaves.
I do however believe in some light, well considered "lollipopping".

Ready to chop? Ambering trichs on a couple of colas but not on others...Does the Council of Wise Growers feel ready to call "chop" on my 86 day from germination Purple Chill Auto? Some colas have nice ambering (see close up of trichs) and others not. Sugar leaves haven't started dying. Last time I ran this pheno went 91 days (see diary).

Is there any effect of letting an auto strain in the dark before harvest, what 48h or so?Also wonder if I have to get the lights on after that, for a couple of hours, or so, and then cut them. I have read it's at this time plants produces more terpenes, is that right?

Drying seems too fast after chop (Growing and Drying in a Shed). 5 days too quick and how to slow it down?Thanks! My last 2 grows seem to dry too quickly.
I dry in a shed but rh and temps are decent- 70-75F & 50-60rh. Even tried letting 1 plant go 6 days instead of 5 before trimming and the jar never climbed over 54% after. Is this normal- should I & how could I slow the dry down?Week 4

Going on Vacation for 7 days, in just 10 days but three girls are in WEEK 9 of flower and still need another week. I've got options:a. Chop & hang the day I leave, ac dry in a tent for 7 days
b. A friend can water mid-week once
c. Water the day I leave but lights OFF for those 7 days
I prefer "c." for $ + safety (np running an ac for a dry tent but I'd like to cut the lights)
Any risks to this idea?
THANKS!Week 9
