Stopping watering before harvest.
I'm keen to know what people's tactics are before harvest.
I know about flushing but is it better to stop water all together a couple of days before chop?

Re: Stopping watering before harvest.
Thanks @Chad.Westport
I'm it giving a try with a couple of autos at the moment.
I suppose it starts the drying process if nothing else.
I'm pretty sure it won't do any harm.
I've started using a UVB/C light in the last week's of flower.
It seems to help to help with the ripening process.
My last grow is diamond encrusted

Re: Stopping watering before harvest.
I heard the master grower @Spartangrown does this?
I did try it once. I am going to start to do this again, it's ironic you bring this up actually.

Re: Stopping watering before harvest.
Before I chop, I turn the lights out, let the plants sit in darkness for around 48hours no light, no water. They do get water the day before so the media is still slightly moist when I cut the plants down. I don't want my soil to get completely dry really ever. Just my way of doing things, there are a million ways to skin a cat or at least that's what I hear.

Re: Stopping watering before harvest.
Yes that was a concern for me if in living soil, we wouldn't want to kill all the life inthe soil. Thinking about it. After 24 hours in darkness, would I be correct in thinking that the plant would pretty much cease to take up any more water anyway?Spartangrown wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 12:17 amBefore I chop, I turn the lights out, let the plants sit in darkness for around 48hours no light, no water.

Not all my plants will be living soil, I plan to have a few Auto's on the side with bottled feed.

Re: Stopping watering before harvest.
48 hours before chop i cut water out in 12liter buckets it depends on my pot sizing.
