I topped 1. Lst'd them all. It all works but be VERY gentle with them. They are finicky.

So if you had to go back, which would you rather do.. top or lst? I'm working a stealth grow so 2-3 ft is really all I have to work with height wise. I'm in a 2x2x4 tent that I put the bigger ones in and I've recently turned a 6 drawer dresser into a stealth grow box for the smaller ones. LOL.

And also you can use a net to keeper her as short just hang the net at the height you want her and keep tucking her under the net but I'm a newbie at this I just read alot lol

Buds will lose around 75% of their weight between harvest and end of curing. Buds will dry quicker if you remove the chunks of large stem underneath the buds. If left as is the buds will leach up the moisture from the stems and take longer to dry.


Good luck, BigSteve.

Slowest dry possible is best. Thats why a lot of experienced growers hang whole plants.

Drying too slow introduces a chance of mold. Hanging plants has no effect on the THC as it does not travel or move after being chopped.

Good, luck, BigSteve.

That is why you need good air flow when drying.The longer the dry the better the smoke.
