24 - 48 Dark period before harvest

[Lordhooha]

Fine, until I have the ability to truly test I will simply follow your advice.

Tell me if I got this right:

No starving roots, water plain water on the day before chopping, have a dark night,chop, hang for at least 10 days in a dark windy tent at a specific humidity and temperature.

Temperature shouldn't be over 70 and lower if possible. Relative humidity should be 63%.

Buds are ready for jarring when the stems snap but not to crisply? That judgment call always threw me. Do I want to lean towards crisp or bendy?

I'll allocate 20 days before the move just in case it needs more hang time, that's the variable I can't control.

My drying room stays between 65 and 68 at 55% humidity. Once they snap but not break they get debudded and stuck in a few 27 gallon totes with boveda pack. I feed up til the last day and simply lower the total ec the last few weeks. Fans should be running but not blowing on them directly. I dont have a particular time to chop. Lights on or off doesn’t matter to me. They are generally in the drying room for 10 to 14 days if the start to dry faster then that I raise the humidity to control it until it’s back on track.

24-hours of dark may not help anything, but it also won't hurt anything IMO, and it will save you approx 1% power usage for your grow. Same with feed. I don't flush or anything, but I do taper off feed at the end, and just top up the res with RO water the last few days before chop.

Any pics before and after using your wonder molasses?

Is that the same plant?

Yes sir it was 4-5 days later after feeding my “wonder molasses”

You could always dry in unbleached brown paper bags. This will help them finish while drying.

Just trying to give you ideas since your time table is set in stone. I would hate to see anyone bust there ass for months and months only to have to chop early.

So instead of hanging them and keeping the humidity in the middle do paper bags in the dark?

Actually your photos were taken 12 days apart...

You don't think the plants got bigger naturally because they got older and had nothing to do with molasses?

It was really only a week like I said 5 days 6 at most I don’t remember the actual time that was like 2 weeks ago when I took those

 

[twentyeight.threefive]

The photos are timestamped. It was 12 days between.

both pics look like ass. Molasses at best helped the microbes In the soil. They in turn help release nutrients to the plant. But IMO it simply looks like it did it’s typical swell in flower ano nothing spectacular.

This had nothing to do with just hanging and drying. It was just to help ripen. Yes paper bag method dries but it is also supposed to help ripen flowers as they are drying. Google it, method is valid.

Bro as many have said, Molasses does absolutely nothing regarding the size of your buds, nor the sweetness of your buds

You should kick back and learn shit before spouting off on your bro science mumbo jumbo

I’ve learned and seen progression whilst this being my second grow , with that being said I won’t say I know or learned everything as I don’t.. but in this type of shit you live and learn new shit here and there . Even have had a few chats with From Seed To Stoned I fw his vids and how to’s

There are many cannabis related websites spewing cannabis broscience like molasses sweetens and fattens the buds. That is all bullshit from some stoners and has no science to back it up.

Here's an article written by Dr. Linda Chalker-Scott who has a Ph.D. in Horticulture from Oregon State University.

“Molasses raises the sugar content of plants.” This bold statement has no basis in reality."

Molasses malarkey

Yesterday I received this link from a Facebook friend who said “when I read this I thought of you.” More likely she was thinking of (enjoying?) the mental agony I suffered as I waded t…

"Now you dump a lot of molasses on the garden. Instantly, microbes sense the extra food and they start to multiply. Bacteria can divide (ie double the population) every 20 minutes. The population explodes very quickly. All those bacteria need to eat, and they quickly consume the molasses you added. As the food source runs out there is a massive famine and most of the bacteria die.

What has the molasses accomplished?"

Does Molasses Improve Soil and Plant Growth?

Should you add molasses to your garden and compost pile? Does it feed the microbes and is it necessary? Is it good for yo0ur plants?

You need to stop getting horticulture information from some stoner on youtube with no actual education in plant science that's monetized a youtube channel and gets a referral commision for the products they pump.

I don't see any actual education in plant science in their "About Me" page. That's because they don't have any.

"The how-to guides and reviews I do are meant to be as authentic as I can make them since they are for the products that I personally use in my own garden. You will find amazon links in each article or review so that you can use the same tools and items that I use and you can let the community know how it worked for you."

Correlation is not causation. Further listening to uneducated 'influencers' has brought us a Covid pandemic of the unvaccinated, sigh....
