You want to flush with plain water for at least 5 days Caddy, and you`re looking for about 10% clear, 60% cloudy, and 30% amber hairs, that would be a nice ratio for a sativa like the SSH.

And yes, trim as much of the leaf material as you can. Leaving it actually takes the plant longer to dry because the leaves will store moisture and feed ing back through the stems. Chop em`, get that flush done, and get us another update ;)

Thanks Dude! I actually already choppped it and drying it right now. It was just about what you described. I would say there might have been a little more cloudy than amber than 60/30 but I think its still was pretty close.

I actually flush every other watering when I dont use nutrients so I hope my 2 day flush was sufficient :(.

What would you say would be the best method to tell when they are done drying? I was reading up and some people say when you bend one of the branches, it should just snap off and not BEND.

Beauty! And you have your answer as highlighted above :). My general rule is 7-10 day dark dry with under/around 40% RH, before moving to curing for minimum 2 weeks. Then burn test for clarity in the flush :bigjoint:. Can`t wait buddy! Great job and you learned a ton this go round my friend

**Edit - damn RIU won`t let me hand out more Rep or you`d get some buddy. End of process should warrant more ;) **

Thanks man. You were definitely a great help. I did have some questions about the silica blast though. For my next harvest, when do you actually start using it? And should I be using it with every watering and feeding or just watering?

Can use it from your last transplant into your flowering container, right up to about week 6 of flower. It`s a plant stress reliever of sorts (amino acids, I`d have to double check). You`ll want to look into carbs and sugars for bulk and aroma in your other grow around week 4-7 of flower generally, but the Silica can be implemented pretty immediately if the plants have undergone a lot of stress (like mine! haha)

hmmmmm perhaps a trip to the store for me :). when/How often do you use Sweet Raw?

It can start as early as veg I think, but for me, I use after I discontinue using Silica Blast around week 6 or so with every feeding. Carbohydrates, amino acids, and other healthy materials for vigor, structure, and aroma/flavor. I buy my 1L bottles for around $30 I`d say and that lasts my grows of 6-10 plants for 5-6 grows easy :)
