No trying to tell you what to do...

But if it was me... regardless of buds on stem or not...(separate buds are just easier to hold and trim)... i would trim now...

As much as you can anyways... after they droop it gets kinda hard, so you might wanna wait for them to dry then...

I do not think it will matter much either way... Just watch it closely...:razz:

Please understand that I am not saying you did anything wrong... just that I would do different...:lol:

In the end... ALWAYS go with what YOU know...:razz:

I think tomorrow i'm going to cut them from the main stem and trim them up. Lets hope I don't get that grass smell!! I prefer to have very very little leaf matter in my bud so, if I trim now I know i'll be able to do a much better job.

BTW, nice drying set up I like it. That's were i'm lacking. My drying room is just a closet with an oscillating fan circulating air underneath. RH at 55% and temps at 69.

And if you do decide to trim now.. and do not want to deal with the droopiness...

IF THEY ARE STILL FRESH AND NOT DROOPING TOO MUCH...

You can fresh cut the bottom of the stem and stick them in a "emergency flusher" (another thing I picked up from Mblaze) .. basically just a bubbler bucket... and you stick the stem in the water...

Like a cloner almost...

Mblaze flushes his plants like this for 3 days before trimming...:razz:

Dang!! I so wish I would've know about this method 2 weeks ago. I flushed mine for 2 weeks this time, but would have prefered this way.

wow, lovely.. i'm about 1 month into flowering, and with 2-60 watt soft white bulbs..

with one plant like this.. i'm concerned that my lighting is too weak..
and the wrong type of lighting to get good results during this time..

should i venture outside winter timings? at all? or should i just get more watts? better spectrum? and stick to 5-8 hours on?

You have go to read the grow FAQ. https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq

Start with number one and read till the end. Then jump into a forum discussion based on your interest and query.

but in short. . .yes you need more watts running at 12/12 for flowering. That's 12 hours on and 12 hours off. Don't go by seasonal day/nights. You veg between 16-24 hours of light and you flower at 12 hours of light.

light up and watch this. . .

Well it's been 5 days of hanging now so they've basically shrunk down as much as they're going to ( I hope). It looks like so much less when its hanging up and is all dried up. So now that you guys get to see it all trimmed up and dried out, how much do you think I have hanging up? I put a hanger up in one picture for scale.

GOAL REACHED AND SURPASSED!!!! Well the stems snapped 7/8 the way through tonight, 6 days of drying, so I cut them all up into beautiful nugs and weighed them out. The final weight is 482 Grams of some fire. It's starting to get that skunk smell back, and man is it strong. During the drying process it kind of had a skunk smell with a lingering hay smell with it. I think it may gain some more weight in the curing process, because it's like a brillow pad right now. I've never seen bud this dry, but I know it will get better during curing and if not i'm going to tape a little piece of wet paper towl to the lid to help. Sooooooo Stoked. In my book my First grow = a huge success for me :)

First weight in: 482 Grams or 17.2 Ounces, also I achieved over .8 grams per watt. Actually I vegged with a 400 Watt MH so not sure if I average the 600 with 400 to make 500. If so I allllllllmost hit 1 gram per watt which was my second goal.
