Can anyone elaborate on the decrease in water uptake towards harvest time

[waterproof808]

LOL, wtf is "Terpene secretion mode"

 

[Rickypsimer]

I've defoliated everyfan leave and snipped the tips of one's hanging over budsites if you're truly interested

Did you know termites use terpenes to ward off enemies? They shoot it from a horn on their head. Don't know if they need a license to be armed that way or not.

With some recent research I've discovered that once a plant is ready for harvest it will stop up taking water if somebody could explain this a little further to me or give me a link where I can research a little further that would be awesome but I have noticed that my power plant from Dutch seeds in northern lights have greatly decreased the amount of water they've uptake and the Coco coir which is usually drying one or two days is remaining wet so I believe I'm close to harvest and I am looking at trichomes I believe I have a few foxtails leading me to leave them a little longer than maybe I should but I'm only on day 50 of flowering gonna wait a week and start my flush now just to remove any built-up salts in the medium and not the buds themselves I've recently learned that flushing is myth in the since that it's not removing anything from the buds them selves but from the leaves and medium

what ??? my plants water intake increases

what ??? my plants water intake increases

at week 6 -7 -8 im dumping 6-7 ltr in them 3 times a day if i dont i get the droop

Whole lot of WTF going on in this thread.

Still awaiting on @kingromano to show us some studies on Terpene secretion mode

If this sugar, unused saccarides(this might be the wrong word) secretion is what he is mis referencing, its a good sign but the plants not about to mighty morphin into a new growth/maturation stage...ffs

 

[Rickypsimer]

Bullshit

I honestly did see an increase

Elaborate more please on what I'm looking at in this picture what is the brown gooey looking ooze in that bud??

I forget the biological mechanism. But its sugars sacharrides the plant wont use and they push out of the tip of calxys, ive collected these and smoked them..they dont get you high and have only slight flavor

(i tried to do a brief search this morning before workk ,im bad at formatting searches with the correct keywords)

It's called Guttation and no, is not a good sign. It is due to using to much sugars and will make your buds burn harsh.

Ya, "good sign "was the wrong way to put it...thanks for the education, i didnt know
internal excess sugars wouldnt be consumed as the plant starts dies

 

[pinner420]

Fuckit ill throw this at the fan...

Your buds should be full of sugars and acids, shouldn't be any room for water at harvest. Watering is just gonna bust da traychrombes and evaporade da tarpeens! The lower the freezing point of your plant at harvest the better the quality, the less possibility for mold, the longer shelf life, the better cure.

Imagine pumping a tomatoe full of water then having to cure it to get the flavor back? Can I borrow someone's myherbsnow?

Looks to me that it's too cold for that led setup
