With some recent research I've discovered that once a plant is ready for harvest it will stop up taking water if somebody could explain this a little further to me or give me a link where I can research a little further that would be awesome but I have noticed that my power plant from Dutch seeds in northern lights have greatly decreased the amount of water they've uptake and the Coco coir which is usually drying one or two days is remaining wet so I believe I'm close to harvest and I am looking at trichomes I believe I have a few foxtails leading me to leave them a little longer than maybe I should but I'm only on day 50 of flowering gonna wait a week and start my flush now just to remove any built-up salts in the medium and not the buds themselves I've recently learned that flushing is myth in the since that it's not removing anything from the buds them selves but from the leaves and medium

I forget the biological mechanism. But its sugars sacharrides the plant wont use and they push out of the tip of calxys, ive collected these and smoked them..they dont get you high and have only slight flavor

(i tried to do a brief search this morning before workk ,im bad at formatting searches with the correct keywords)

Your buds should be full of sugars and acids, shouldn't be any room for water at harvest. Watering is just gonna bust da traychrombes and evaporade da tarpeens! The lower the freezing point of your plant at harvest the better the quality, the less possibility for mold, the longer shelf life, the better cure.

Imagine pumping a tomatoe full of water then having to cure it to get the flavor back? Can I borrow someone's myherbsnow?
