Show me your drying set ups

[MichiganMedGrower]

I read something recently about cutting a few hours after lights on.
It allows the plant to be fully hydrated so it dries slower.

All these things kind of make sense when someone explains them but
I think in side by side tests no one
Could tell me if i trimmed in the dark while wearing one moon boot and one flip flop.

There is a darkness thread going on somewhere round here.

According to marijuana botany and Ed Rosenthals Grow book the plant stores carbohydrates in the roots at night. When light hits the plant the carbs are uptaken and distributed where needed.

If you cut the roots off before his happens the smoke will be smoother. Takes 24 hrs to be sure all carbs have gone back to the roots.

Also heat and light damage trichomes so early there are more undamaged ones than later in the day.

Myths are never really myths. They came from someone not wanting to read for themselves but passed the incorrect info on anyway.

After giving them only water the last 2 or 3 weeks allow her to dry a bit. Then give complete darkness for 1 week.It starts the drying process plus the plant will finishing ripening.

Of curse not, you can hardly reach the tonsils with that micro peenie.

The plant doesn’t do any ripening or processing in the dark. Please read Clark’s Marijuana Botany. It is in the free cat news pot book link posted around. I can find it if you like.

Also i like to taper down the nutes after week 5 if it's a 8-9 week strain

Try to get a good fade right at chop time

im going to try the 24 hours of dark. i have been tapering the nutes already. probably doesnt matter... but after the dark cycle, can i turn the lights on when i chop so i can see? lol

 

[Cold$moke]

No

Use your cellphone with a green colored light on the screen

You just have to snip the main stalk while its dark

My usual coarse is if Im going to harvest tomorrow i shut lights down today, i taper my nutes up then down
Then nothing the last week.

I do these things simply because they are a happy medium between what most say, plus I get good results.

I own a shitload of books and even the authers don't always agree so us non scientists just have to try it all and see what works.

The authors with real data from testing all agree about most of it. That was my point. Only the forum doesn’t agree. The science is spot on.

I think it’s because we are and were stoned.

A lot of false information and theories turned into science floating around. Can be hard to decipher what is good information or not...

Best just to test it yourself

Lol, it would be cool to make a thread someday where we take all the most debated topics and lay them to rest by citing peer reviewed articles.

But then we wouldn't have anything to argue about.

My problem is im a flip flopper.
All you have to do is make a little
Sence and im in

This really needs to be done. A lot of the stickies here are more than 5-10 years old with outdated information and broken picture links....

Also needs to be cleaned of false information

 

[iPerculate]

It's hard to find any consistent information when it comes to defoliation...

Mines not very big around
