Lower buds crumbled at harvest
TonkaSunstarted grow question a year 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".

Drying.Hi all!
I currently have 2 plants growing. 1 of them has clearly bloomed faster and I will have to harvest it earlier.
Because I have only one grow box and I don't know where to dry it. Can I put them somewhere for two weeks to wait for the 2nd one?
Could u tell me what to do?

How long after the last flush, do you wait until you chop your plant?
Do you let it dry out so the pot is nice and light before you harvest? Or is a little moisture left in the soil ok? Did last flush 48 hrs ago and I'm itching to chop her down, but still slightly damp soil

I have two drying options for my one plant. Wine fridge with perfect temp or closet with perfect humidity. Which is best?Should I dry my one plant in a wine fridge with a compressor that causes the humidity to fluctuate between 50-70% but can be set to a perfect 60f, or should I dry in a closet with perfect 60% humidity but temp at a steady 74f with no way to lower it? Perfect humidity or temp? ThxOther. Harvest - Drying

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

What is this?So this is some durban poison that I grew, great genetics, grew 3 of these and the bud turned out great... for the most part. I found this while trimming up some of the last plant. This is the main cola, this is the only spot I found this. looks like cotton.

Dry tent RH is over 70%. What do I do?How the hell do I deal with this humidity? My dry tent is stuck over 70%. I can get it down to 68% for a short time, but it's 89% humidity out today. What do I do? Shut the room lights off and open the tent door for now? Neither the AC or the Dehumidifier are enough. Help!

Last week before harvestI am looking to my last week of flower before harvest (possibly two weeks away) is there anything specific I should do prior to 72hrs darkness, chop, dry, cure? Should I completely remove all fan leaves for the last week? I'm not flushing, but should I increase a specific nute?
