I dont know how much longer I can wait. I have been doing a lot more reading recently from multiple growers, and I still cant figure out whether to give them the 10 days of dryness or not. ( I did for the one plant I harvested) I read something by Ed Rosenthal that said 10 days might increase the resin production, but no one can confirm this. Other growers say that it just takes longer to dry the buds if they havent had a dry spell. Friends who have had experience here, who dont mind, can I have some suggestions? Yea I dont want them to go too long because I dont want the "couchlock" high.
what you do is turn the humidity waaaaaay down the last 2 days/nights before cutting. resin production will increase as its the plants natural reaction to dry air (it thinks its gonna be a hot day) so it produces tons of resin to reflect the uv lights and high heat of the coming up days.
it works wonders
some people let their medium go bone dry and think its dry soil that causes it, but its not. less water in the air, dryer it is
also: harvest before the lights come on, the sugars and crap are in the roots at night time, so if you cut at night, you get a smoother smoke since theres less crap in the bud.
last thing, to tell if your plant has been successfully flushed, break a little off and taste it, if its bitter, keep flushing
