a lot of growers swear by a faded leaf pattern . . .all rosey and yello wand slightly green at the chop . . . ive done green cut and faded cut, imho faded harvested plants are smoother after cure
but my opinoin is entirely subjective, i only base it on of the few grower si know with my strains that harvest,dry,cure different then i do
i would not reccomend it until you know your plant, starving it is bad, weening down is ok, but you have to know what the plant can take, you can fade a plant without damaging it at all,
