Trouble shooting

I was wondering if starving your plant of water near the end of harvest was good or bad. i let them go until they have to have water. any suggestions??

Every seems to have their own opinion on this subject, personally I don't change my watering schedule, only my tea schedule. I don't feed the girls any teas the two or three weeks of flower, but keep the plant watered during the entire process. I always figured that was what drying and curing were for is to get rid of the moisture. Hope this helps.

I think it is personal preference but a lot of people keep their normal watering schedule (letting plants dry out before watering again). I don't know if I would water starve plants in late flowering but I know people like to let the pots dry out real good right before harvest. It supposedly helps with the drying and curing process. Hope this helps. Good luck my friend.

the only time my girls ever come close to being water starved is right before i chop them down... and even then its not starving.. i just wait until i would need to water them again and chop them... it does help to speed the drying because there is less excess moisture in the plants that needs transpiring..
