I've found the best thing to get moisture back without adding random flavor into the bud is to use a leaf off one of the plants thats still living. I try to use the same strain which isn't necessary; I'm just anal....and it looks cool to have a leaf in the jar of the same strain in with the buds :)

Great thread! Has provided a lot of value to a first timer.

I've seen a distinctive change in the look of the buds this past 2 weeks as depicted in in the first set off pics provided fdd2blk.

The only thing I'm stuck on before I harvest :mrgreen: are the state of the trichomes. I'm using a 30x loupe and the majority of the trichomes are still milky white, not amber. However, when I look at the at the leaf, and not the bud, the majority of the trichomes are amber.

Which should i follow as my guide, trichomes on the nugs themselves, or trichomes on the leaves. Would appreciate any insights!

as mentioned in this thread, the trichomes have a golden tinge from a distance when finished, because its mostly the trichomes on the leaves that turn amber while the buds remain mostly cloudy. around 99% of the hairs have changed, calyxes have swelled, bud leaves edges feel crispy, its done.

I think this has got to be one of the most valuable threads on this site. Can't even count how many times I've referenced it and directed other members here.
