Before light turns on.. the plant willnot draw up the stored sugars and what not it made during the night and has stored up in the roots..
I like to let the plant get to right about wilting before cutting... just me tho.
I always water 4 days before i pull out room... that gives my pots enough time to get almost bone dry... i will also hang whole plant for about 12-14 days.. until stems not only almost snap clean but are a brown whiteish tint..
Anything at end of flower will stink... turpin production is skyhigh.. i dont drob below 45 in flower.. starting at 60 and cutting back a few every week till harvest
It could also have alot to do with how you flushed and what time you cut. harvesting before the light turns on will prevent your plant from pulling all the stored sugars in the roots to the buds....making it smoother and morpungent... but one simple thing won't make it happen. Its everything...
I too use the shit outa some samples...got advanced running on this batch of girls....
Just make sure what line you do go with is in your skill range.. the general hydro 3 part worked great for me till i was able to really dial shit in big time
i know guys here in socal that harvest dry trim bag then to the club goes the bud.. im sure i will catch shit for saying that
If they are gunna stink they are gunna stink the whole time
