I remove the fan leaves and leave the sugar leaves. I used to do a wet trim but I like the final product better when I do a dry trim of the sugar leaves.
Do I water my plants before harvest please? Coco

there's a technique called "dry-stress" in order to increase potency.
drying is done to remove water - so watering defeats this purpose somehow...

thats later done by microbes & enzymatic processes. a slow dry and 62 rH will be enough for this, some even feel this is still too much moisture.

If you use plain water in coco at any point in time you fucking up it’s CEC capacity as it’s inert and requires constant feeding.
seedling early veg 0.6-0.8EC
MID VEG 0.8-1.0 EC
LATE VEG 1.2EC
Early flower 1.2-1.4
Mid flower 1.2
Late flower 1.2-0.8 lowering in the final few weeks down to the 0.8.
never ever ever ever ever let coco dry out with mature plants!!!!
Did I mention don’t ever let coco dry out!
My plants are always harvested at 0.8EC feed strength.
I cut my plant into sections and remove all fan leaves.
I lightly trim all buds and hang in 2ft lengths until dry enough to jar.
If you fed yesterday and plan to harvest today then don’t feed the coco.
if you plant to harvest tomorrow then feed today.

btw has anyone ever heard of pouring hot water into the pot thereby killing the roots, then harvesting a few days later when the plant died? broscience no/yes?

nuts? If you meant nutrients then absolutely no one told him to add nutrients.

I assumes that OP meant the soil as a dry plant would crumble at touch. if it was about to wilt then i would weigh up the possible lengthy recovery time v start a new crop time.

I give 1/2 strength the last week and top with water (NFT) and with a good 30 day cure there is nothing to suggest at all that it was not flushed. 100% top feedback from everyone.
I know... but thatd the answer he got

I tried that method once....did a trial with 4 plants, one plant was given the hot water treatment which essentially kills the plant instantly .....it did make a difference but I didn't like the resulting taste profile compared to the other plants
