naw, i just don't get why people ask for advice when they don't really want it.
Eh...thats the problem with advice. Most of the time people just want you to tell them what they want to hear. The truth is hard to take, I guess...Keep up the good work!
did you leave any plants in the light to see if there was a difference?I noticed my trichs got more milky/amber with 48 hours of super cold darkness and had a little purpling as well. So i think it absolutely works.
Last time i checked, anyone who indoor grows "tricks" the plant. You know that thing called switching the lighting to induce the flowering cycle? Yea, tricking the plant into thinking fall has come. So first stay off a thread if all you have is an opinion based on no information. I personally think that it is WORTH TRYING at least. And i commend Bluntedddd for doing us a favor by trying it to see the results! Don't knock it til you've tried it is what i'm goin with on this one. Let me know how it works out bluntedddd, i'm always open for information through trial and error.
Its possible i cant definitively say for sure, but i did closely examine each plant with a scope checking the trichome production, coloration, and also just looking at the plants as a whole.did you leave any plants in the light to see if there was a difference?
who's to say that wouldn't have happened anyways?
Yes, i would never recommend trimming when wet, yes its easier to trim when wet, but its not worth the sacrifice and forfeit of everything that goes wrong when trimming it wet.
you caught me, i'm new to this all. sorry.
id like to know the results if and when you do this. i need concrete proof or info of the fail.
Is it ok to just trim the big fan leaves? Or did you not trim even the big fan leaves?Its possible i cant definitively say for sure, but i did closely examine each plant with a scope checking the trichome production, coloration, and also just looking at the plants as a whole.
After the 48 hours of darkness there were pretty dramatic changes, it could merely be a coincidence, or it could be the darkness that caused it. I did not do one dark and one with light, i gave all plants 48 hrs of darkness, and to know for sure, i would have had to have done a side by side, with one in light, and one in dark, then compare the two as you mentioned.
On a side note, i have done a separate side by side testing for better odor,smell,color, etc. This might be controversial, but i will never, ever trim a plant when wet again.
You get far superior everything! smell, smoothness, effect, color, taste, odors, duration, you name it, this really inst talked about enough and allot of people make the mistake of trimming when wet and yes it is a mistake, and then reduce their quality significantly.
I simply cut the plant at the base of the stock and hang it up. About 4 - 5 days later you may remove all the largest fan leaves that have no tichomes on them.
Then you keep them hanging until how ever many more days it takes for the stem to snap. then when they are that dry then cut the buds off the branches into jars for curing.
If your not selling and using strictly for personal, then it inst necessary to remove all the pointed close-to-the-bud sugar coated leaves.
What i do, is when i want to toke, i pull out a dry bud out of the jar, and remove all longer leaves that are resin covered and put them aside for hash,butter or what ever.
then break into the bud and toke, its like unwrapping a banana every time i toke. (budana)
There's plenty of other reasons too related to taste, odor, smoothness of smoke, etc. Dry your buds plants like tryingtogrow89 says, good info brah!
