well she got the chop...ill let the pics do the talkin...
heres some pics under the cfls
Some flash pics..
annnd here she is after the chop!
(as u can see there is still alot of buds left..i will leave them until they are done)
And here are the freshly cut buds!
first 3 are the main colas...
As u can see above there are alot of fan leaves and not a whole lot of airspace around the buds...it was very dense in fan leaves...so i trimmed the big fan leaves off to help with the mold...the buds are pretty dense and i dont wanna risk gettin mold so i trimmed them a bit...
heres the buds with the fan leaves trimmed off
And the buds hangin up in the closet!!..There are 3rows of buds in there
And my wet weight is a total of 59grams!! and there is still a shit ton of buds left on the tree waiting to finish!

Hell yea rasta looking great!! If I could leave you more rep I would but its going to be a while lol...
So I noticed you like to leave your "sugar leaves" on when drying. I've tried both methods and I think I'm growing more fond of this way myself its just a little tricky to trim the buds after they dry. What are your thoughts on it?

ive done bhoth many times...and i always prefer doin it dry...i like how it wraps the buds up and creates almost like a blanket for the buds to dry and ferment in..it also stops the buds from dryin 'too fast' and allows u to sloww dry...idk i feel like its easier to trim after its dry then wen its wet...all just preference...but i love the fact that the leaves fall upwards...cuz of hangin upside down...and its easier to see the stems and trim...idk man like i said all preference...i always say try both ways and see which one is for u...

Yea I agree with you on most things. I'm still new to it so I just like to see other peoples thoughts and opinions and you make some great points. I do like how you can see the stem from the leaves folding up and it definitely helps them dry a lot slower no doubt about that! I actually just came off doing a side by side comparison on the same plant with the two main colas
Not much of a noticable difference but overall I liked this way and thats how I'll do it when I'm chopping very soon

good to here man also wha ti do that many disagree with is i dont flush...no 2 week flush for me! haha i like to feed even more nutes at this stage and i usually drown as my last plant proved to work amazing and def. made me a beleiver!...harsh smoke is due to fast drying and or no cure...not from nutes...my theory is thanks to riddle..its not a toilet u cant just flush it of nutes...the leaves turn yellow proving that the tree is actually taking what u dont give it from itself so u never get rid of nutes ever! u can only flush the medium and i do a flush then within hours chop

this is true with organics. but some chemical nutes can make a harsh smoke without a flush. i only use guano. i wouldnt flush neither

Humm interesting, more things to try!! So when you say flush the medium before you chop, that method has worked for you? Could you describe how to do it because I might give it a go this time around, do you just flush really good an hour before the chop? I always thought you should let the soil dry before chopping? I really need to get over there and read more about this.

well if i dont drown thats what i do...it takes about 30mins-2hrs for the water to reach the top of the plant....also i basically flush during ever water...as i 'make it rain'... but for the last 2weeks i feed even stronger than i have the whole grow becuase the last 2weeks is the most important of the grow as it puts on most of its weight...so y starve the plant during this time with a flush? thats y i feed it stronger than usual...then the last day right be4 i chop i flush...then wait a few hours then chop...i had this argument about how harsh my bud will b and bla bla so while the kid was tokin up on my weed tellin me that flushin is a must i asked him ay is that real harsh? he says no not at allits smoothe....i said exactly so shut up! lol i told him i didnt flush for 2weeks instead fed even more then flushed a few hours be4 chop...he didnt beleive me but try it do wat u normally do to one plant then try this on another and tell me if u taste the difference...i listened to riddle and tried all that on my last harvest and i will never flush for 2weeks again, always drown (wen i can) and make it rain!
i use a ultrasol 20-20-20 formula and its pretty strong...we have it set up on the pumps down the green house...its as the bag requests so about 90-100% throughout the whole grow! and then the last few feeding have been even more than that pluss molasses...i agree with many ppl and feel that flushing is just one of those things wur we dont kno y we do it we just do it...

Thanks for the info! So you think it worth a try for me to flush a couple hours before I chop?
