Hi Everyone,
I switched to flush today Mar 18 and am planning on harvesting on Mar 21. Would you recommend this small of a plant even cutting up branches or should I hang the whole thing? She was topped and reburied several inches deeper so only showing 15 inches but very wide.
It's a matter of personal preference really. Some claim their are some added benifits to hanging the whole plant but it really sounds like minor differences only real aficionados would notice. If you have the time and space it's worth it I guess. That said I dont so I always wet trim and cut into branches to speed the process up and save space.
The goal is to dry the plant as slow as you possibly can without it growing mold or mildew. The buds will dry slower with the entire plant in one piece. With the size of your plant I would hang the entire plant. If you cut the branches off it will dry faster. Good luck on your harvest!
@Praha2ndhome hi there I usually hang the entire plant for 12 hrs then I strip it down and dry each bud seperately
Once they are dry enough to trim I do so then they go into paper bags for an extra few days to make sure they are properly dry before curing
As it is only a small Batch i would cut and trim . and then hang up for curing. I personally Always cut it in branches and trim wet….and then i go on with curing. Because the Job is done then,,, and i have time for other Things.
