Thanks Illumination, appreciate you pointing me in the right direction to get the information I need.
Actually I would chop before it looks dead...I will get someone who has drowned more than I to come tell you what he does...
Wanna give you the best info I can....
Namaste'
Hey Daniel I appreciate and thank you for stopping by to give me some more insight on drowning my plant and when/how to harvest. Now I understand the process better, thanks BKB & Illumination. When I see droopy leaves that changed colors which indicates that Joni has been eating the N in the leaves, it's chop time
A extra dark period is not necessary, just hang as usual to dry, then put in jars to cure which the drowning will improve the smoke once cured.
I didn't read thru this since I'm kinda rushed for a few hours.Sry. I drown for a couple days, then give them 2 hrs. light & harvest. Trim all fan leaves. Then they go in the dry boxes for about a week at 30/30 24/7 then trim all sugar leaves. I've drown for up to 7 or 8 days one time all lights normal. No extended dark. Their colors change as they eat the N. It truely speeds the curing. I'm trying to get the timing down of how close they are to ready. Hope that helps.

Hey BKB, I appreciate your help, advice, and information on drowning Joni. I love this Blue Mystic strain and want it to be a smooth smoke so I'm excited about trying a technique that will help me achieve this goal
So it might take Joni a week before she dies, I know that when the leaves start to droop, and before she gives, it's chop time
The leaves turning colors indicates that Joni is cobbling up the N in them, which is good because it will fatten her up. If your Chocolope & B Kush were both very smooth smokes after drowning them for 7 days then I'm all for waiting that long
Once I see her start to give as the leaves droop I chop. Thats how I did my last 2 plants, my Chocolope took a week. Am I doing it wrong too??? It seemed to work, my smoke was insanely smooth. I cough to get high, so yeah I cough a ton when I smoke. Hardly cough when smoking my Chocolope. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Prince Lumi Alberts!!!
EDIT: Didnt see your post Daniels, thats what I was saying about my CHocolope it took a week and I still ran her under the light 12/12, she turned wicked colors and she was a swollen bitch too.
Page 6 Post#55 in my 2nd journal will show my Chocolope and Bubba Kush plants drowning in my flowering tent, if your interested Chief, I thik I posted the pics on here before.
Peace
BKB
