I know sumone who trims ther plants then cuts the buds off the branch and lays the buds in shoe boxes or paper bags two layers deep and let's em dry turnin the buds over every so often
Use ro water and give them just the plain water for 7 days then wut I do is take about a half cup of regular sugar dump in gallon of water shake till fully dissolved then water them with this for 2or3 days then just plain water again for day or two then 24 hours darkness with no water at all cut...
Yours are not ready I think u need at least two weeks. I just cut mine when they are ready they will look like they are in full flower like my pics. By the way wut strain is that?
