    Harvest Time is guided by trichomes, determined by personal flare

    In some cases, though the trichomes could continue to produce more amber heads, sometimes the plant may signal its end of life and ripe-most state, in which case it is better off harvested in days time.

    Using a DEHUMIDIFIER for drying buds:

    These are exactly my thoughts currently. I have my dehumidifier on, I just harvested today. The humidity without it is up to 75%. Did you end up using a dehumidifier?

    Do you process leaves that have yellowed due to age? (Hash)

    At that point I will have like 0 leaves for trim. They only yellowed recently. I think I’m leaning towards yes since they are sugar leaves.

    Do you process leaves that have yellowed due to age? (Hash)

    I have quite a few large bud leaves that have yellowed from senescence. Should I wet trim, or dry trim and turn them into hash? Not sure if I should avoid this for yellowed leaves. There are trichomes. What would you do?

    Senescence in week 7?

    Hello members! This is my first grow in a grow tent, and it’s been a blast! One of two plants has been showing yellow leaves since week 6 of flower. They are currently approaching week 8 of flower. Overall I believe the plants are moderately healthy, and I’m thinking this is natural senescence...

    Why does my reservoir's PPM increase over time? How do you maintain an ideal PPM throughout your grow?

    Thanks to all the responses. I do understand now that the PPM overall has been a bit too high this grow. Have done lots of flushing and learned lots for next grow. Just a tad overfed, still really excited for the final yield. Expecting it about 2-3 weeks away from harvest. Thank you everyone!!

    What does Epsom salt do? What phase of life is it best to use?

    I’m considering dropping my Epsom salt levels/cutting it out because I have a bit of burnt tips on my leaves. I’m not sure if this will help remedy the problem, but it sounds like an easy way to drop my PPM especially considering nutrient lockout. Hopefully I can add less of everything by...

    What does Epsom salt do? What phase of life is it best to use?

    I am following the chart that general hydroponics provides. They don’t recommend using the same ratios of nutrients throughout. It sounds like Epsom doesn’t shine best at any particular growth phase. Thanks for the feedback!

    What does Epsom salt do? What phase of life is it best to use?

    I am growing in DWC hydroponics. Ever since my first grow, I started using epsom salts to correct what was presumed to be a sulfur deficiency. I still don't know if that was the correct solution, but the problem went away. Other than correcting a deficiency, if anyone can provide expertise, what...

    Why does my reservoir's PPM increase over time? How do you maintain an ideal PPM throughout your grow?

    I grow in DWC hydroponics. I have been finding recently that no matter the PPM that goes into my reservoir, I have to add water every so often to keep it down in the ideal range. I am very interested in why this happens, if it has something to do with nutrient quality/type, salt/nutrient build...

    Drying after harvest in the same tent - do you uninstall your lights?

    I think some manual height adjustable bungee cords and string should do the trick ;) But I guess, it’s not that hard to take the light out, just trying to cut down on labor where I can. :-)

    Drying after harvest in the same tent - do you uninstall your lights?

    True, but does that get removed before the dry? I was thinking I would keep it intact to make for a dry as slow as possible. If space is limited, I will remove it. I suppose these are assessments I will make along the way.

    Drying after harvest in the same tent - do you uninstall your lights?

    Good point about the extra space from the pot, that helps put my mind at ease. I initially feared the tops might touch the ground when upside down from gravity straightening the colas. This is my first grow in a grow tent, so I’m keeping myself open to another one soon after if the will is...

    Drying after harvest in the same tent - do you uninstall your lights?

    Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for what to do with my lights after harvest. I'm hoping that I can keep the lights off and raised at the top, and hang the plants right under. My plants are getting very tall, though; my grow space will be maximized. I am about 2 months from harvest. For any...

    Is it okay to defoliate right after flipping to 12/12?

    Thanks for the reply. I intend to take off branches after the stretch, but I will consider doing it earlier. I guess you are implying that the canopy is too dense. I’m hoping for a large yield, so maybe I got carried away with the training and vegging. This is my first time growing in a tent. If...

    Is it okay to defoliate right after flipping to 12/12?

    Here is how they are looking currently. I decided to do a light defoliation like ab2t2000 mentioned. There are before and after images, I'm pleased with how it went. I included the last picture to show how big they are getting, because I'm a bit worried they will grow too tall. I still have more...

    Is it okay to defoliate right after flipping to 12/12?

    I can get a picture of them tomorrow. I would love to get general feedback on how they're looking too! :)

    Is it okay to defoliate right after flipping to 12/12?

    I just flipped the light schedule to 12/12 four days ago. My canopy is a bit too thick for my liking, and I want to ensure that the there is adequate light penetration on the bud sites. I know I'm going to have to defoliate and lollipop after the stretch, but can I also defoliate now as well...
