i wasn't sure if you did or not. i have been following just about all of your advice, and nothing has failed me yet, so i guess i wont be using molasses then lol. do you think its necessary to use 3X's the amount of water tho?
no, 3x the amount is to flush out the soil all at once. water as usual with straight water. this will flush the plant itself. the leaves should start to fade in color. this is the plant feeding off the nutes in the leaves. when the leaves are yellow they are void of nutes. :-P

Ive just started to harvest a few branches myself, its sooo Purdy, I cut 4 branches off and manicured 'em real nice and weighed to see what wet weight was and they were sittin on almost 6 ounces.

3 ounces wet should equal about 1 ounce dry. just a rough average but it's usually pretty close. :leaf:

Another question . The humidity in my dry area has been high 80% range I have had 2 fans going a ceiling fan and a fan out of a fridge none of these blowing directly on the bud. Today I added a dehumifier should I cut back on the fans does to much air movement cause any problems ? I guess you won't learn if you don't ask I will admit this site has been a great help I keep checking back to this topic daily to see if I am doing it right . Thanks!

air movement is good as long as it not blowing the buds everywhere. :bigjoint:

So I am not quite sure what you were doing with just the leaves.....the fan leaves with resin you keep (and how do you treat them?) and the leaves with no resin you discard??

the leaves with resin get saved for bubble hash. the big fan leaves go into the compost bin. i burn the stalks.

don't use fan leaves for hash making. they are dusty and dirty and add a lot of contaminants to your final product. they have NO trichs so they just take up room in the washer. :cuss:
well i know the whole purpose is to get the REISEN GLANDS out of the leaves and thats in ALL the leaves.

there are NO resins on fan leaves. there carry a lot of dust, dirt, and debris. if you use fan leaves in your hash you will contaminate it. :leaf:

fan leaves look like they have tri's in them.
but i have tried to smoke fan leaves before and they are a waste of time.

yea there no reisen ON it its inside the leaf it whats its made of.
They contain no thc,maybe a very tiny amount may form but nothing worth the effort.They will only green it all up and end up with no thc,stick to trim like fdd is saying,im sure from his pictures you can see he knows whats up:bigjoint:
