Finishing up runs

I keep reading that soil growers stop watering a few days prior to harvest for various reasons. In a hydroponic environment has anyone ever just drained their system say a day or two prior to harvest? Would that be beneficial?

I can't imagine how it would be beneficial.

Is there much difference between doing that and actually harvesting a few days early?

Whether I cut the stem and prevent the roots from supplying the rest of the plant, or stop supplying the roots...its effectively the same thing, right? The plant will will and start drying put. So you're basicslly asking "would there be any benefit to harvesting a day or two early". And that's obviously a no.

I guess you could and it would give you time to chop them down at your own convenience.

Wilting your plants isn't beneficial.
