Alright. So I plan on harvesting some plants this weekend. Thing is, I've been feeding with a liquid chemical fertilizer that's supposedly organic. It's botanicare pro bloom soil. Will I be alright if the day before harvest I drench the soil with like idk 6 gallons of water?

One other thing-I'll be drying in an attic that runs pretty hot during the day. My plan is to dry in a clone box with a small desk fan at the bottom (non oscillating)..thing is I'm not sure how long it takes to slow dry but I'm usually gone all week so if I'm gone for four days will my bud be dust by the time I get back? I'm not looking for that..any advice is gold to me. Have a good night

If the attic is super hot like most attics are even on a normal sunny day I wouldn't leave the bud up there unattended for four days .....I was in a metal fab building drying one of my gardens last year and The process was pretty fast I was starting a brown bag cure on the fourth day .....but I do like to start my cure wetter than a lot of people I don't dry until the stem brakes in half but just brakes inside and stays that way then I start my cure in bags before jars ........I wouldn't leave my crop in a hot attic though

I don't have too much of an open option when it comes to drying sadly. I'll
See what else I can do but chances are it'll be in the attic. If it dries quick maybe It'll be done drying after three days?

Don't drench them the day before harvest! Why add unnecessary moisture? You don't need to flush, and it wouldn't do anything anyway. I think the attic will be fine as long as you keep an eye on them. Don't let them get too crispy. It may not be a perfect situation, but if you are careful I think you will have a good result.

I'm hoping I can dry them properly. It'd suck to see them turn crispy after all this hard work you know what I'm saying. Shit I'm hoping for the best
