I am an experienced indoor and outdoor guy, and it does not take any terpines, trichomes away. It is just cleaner. Any outdoor grow over 4 months in So Cal will have dirt, insect shit and...

    I think what worked so well was to take a lanky Sativa like SD, and use mainlining and extensive topping to force all energy into the 24 colas, instead of several 7’tall branches. Treated it like an indoor plant, keeping height low, but promoting width and density. Still shocked, as a fairly...

    Flowering Harvest help

    I'm on my 4th indoor grow, and starting to get my techniques dialed in. So much great info on strains, trimming, nutes, water schedules, etc. on Internet and forums such as this; find what works for you and do you own thing.

    Another technique I have used is to let your plants slightly wilt, then water for one light cycle, then put in dark for 48 hours before chopping. You know how when you water a healthy buy slightly wilted plant, it perks up and looks beefier? Weed works that way, too.
