Cutting leafs off before dark period

hi guys im just wondering can i trim off the majority of the leafs before i put into 2 days of darkness just im struggling with humidity at min only way im keeping down is with a dehumidifier in as wel as having tent door open and a massive fan on the outside of the tent blowing the plant so cant really do 2 days darkness with tent door open as light will get in so was wondering if i chopped majority of the leafs off to bring humidity down before i put into dark will that be ok?? Its not going to affect/stress to much to affect anything that late in the cycle will it??

*bump*

plant photosynthesizes during night, dont know if it will make any difference tbh

The question is a little hard to understand. How far along are you? Assuming 'almost done' and you want to trim it before you harvest? Sounds good. I don't see it really effecting the humidity at all though.

Nice one guys yeh i think im pretty close now its fine as it is at minute with the tent open and big fan blowing on it but say i was gunna cut it down saturday as an example i want to put it into 2 days off darkness before i chop it down like say thursday and friday as heard good things about doing it but if i close the tent the RH shoots up i was wondering if it would be ok to cut the majority off leaves off on thursday then turn the lights off or will that cause problems??

Sorry just seen your last bit THT do you not reckon it will affect the humidity that much just i was told the leaves are where moisture is released could have been a load of bull though

You're making it too complicated. Skip this two day dark period. By the sounds of it, that'll make all of your problems go away.

Makes more sense now, arent you moving air through your tent with a duct fan?

like @spek9 said, skip the 2 days of dark. Add a duct fan to your setup to replace the air within your tent constantly, this will really help all around.

What? A two day dark period? What on earth for?

Yeh got intake and outtake aswel as a little clip on fan on the inside of the tent i dont know if its this english weather with it raining and then warming up but struggling to keep it down ive not done it for a while though just had tent open with a big fan blowing as scared for any kind of mold or bud rot this late in flower

Hahaha honestly ive read it and watch some videos youll guys will know more then me thats for sure but supposedly it helps il see if i can find the video and post it someone also mentioned it to me on here

you guys have a gander see if its nonsense youll have a better idea then me

Do yourself a favor and buy a good duct fan ( 4in or 6in) something like this, and you wont need to open the tent to keep RH down.

Yeh think thats going to be next port of call its literally just a small 1 plant tent though guess its all a learning curve

I've never done it, and have no plans on ever doing it.

None of my outdoor gardens (vegetables, herbs and cannabis) get that treatment and they turn out fine. Nobody has ever complained about my indoor product (including me!), so why add complexity for what I see as no benefit?
