mark's perpetual grow

I guess it does mess with the structure of the cola, some of them do lean over, but I think I do more damage trying to cut them out of the plant support (wet) and after you cut all the buds off the stem, I don't think you could tell anyway.

When you hang a plant upside down, you have a large number of colas touching each other, I do like the colas spaced out in the plant ring.
guess this is what you mean(structure of the cola) had been drying for just over 3 days.

That would bother me. I cut mine at the last sturdy chunk of a cola (a foot long or so) and hang them from coat hangers on bars with enough space that they don't touch. The little pieces get tossed onto a hanging screen.

5 days since I chopped them, some of the buds feel dry so I have put each tray in a bag this morning and I will take the bags off tonight,
Should help to dry the buds more even.

I will do this for the next two days and then I will bag them up in vacuum sealed bags(double them up) only because I have to move soon.
Hope this stops the smell getting out, there thick high quality bags. (Vacuum sealed)

I would wait to vacuum seal them. The longer they are in the bag the more the smell starts to penetrate. Seal them up the day you’re moving if you can. I learned this from ex-cop Barry Cooper of the Never Get Busted videos.

I have cut all the buds off the stems and trayed them up, the plants weigh between 167g and 205g
Still need to do a little trimming and the buds may lose 1-2% more, chopped the plants when they were dry.
so I could still lose 5% of the weight, total weight is 1,104g -5% = 1049g
my led was about 400w and the 600w HPS so I pulled 1g per watt, the LEDs covered 1.3m x 1.1, and the HPS covered 0,8 x 1.1m
