Can i trim? +rep

had an issue with nute burn, really bad issue. close enough to harvest so i am starting my flush, can i trim up my colas or wait until i chop? alot of dead leaf, but since the flush hasn't gotten an worse.


What happened to the grow facts??????

always get rid of the dead loss, they can attract pests and stuff with their decaying leaves.

thanks.. even some of the burnt sugar leaves?

if you're gonna chop soon i would just wait

Agreed. Trimming what ever green foliage she has left will slow her down & lighten your haul. If your 7-14-21 days or more away from chop (you said you were begining a flush) I wouldnt. If you do the 3 days of dark before harvest & trim her when you put her in that should have little or no i'll affects (as my exp.). But if shes still maturing let the leaves stay regardless how bad they look.

ive heard of the three day of darkness thing...how were your results?

I do the 72 hour solitary confinement. total darkness. i give her a small sugar feed(i use oolong tea) 2 days before the darkness then i give her nothing. let her dry out and be cold. karma rep for ya!

Does this make any difference..ive heard that more tichs push through what are the benifits

I am a firm believer in only cloudy trics. the amber color is the degrading of THC. when a plant is in it's dark period it builds up trics, and when it's in the light it breaks them down. so the theory is more darkness so the plant think it's winter time and pushes all the resins to the buds. For me it seems to not let any amber trics only cloudy ones. Some people believe cloudy is a head high and amber is a body high...... this is a myth! head/body highs are in the DNA of the plant.... this is why there are so many different breeds. I try to get a spot on a bud to scope then after the dark period i ltry to look at the same spot.... almost imposible without ruining part of the bud. and i swear i see more trics but that is what time does... grows more trics...... but without light it's not destroying them... that's my reason for doing it.

Those dead leaves won't hurt anything while still attached to the plant, you might have problems if they are rotting away on the floor though.

It speeds up the tric maturation in my exp. Contradicting StoneyLuv's exp. I get amber all over maybe because I start my 3 days dark when im 20% amber or so. I've experimented putting a couple of my girls in dark & leaving the remaining under light, I've noticed the difference. Also those confined to the dark seem to cure a bit quicker or are sweeter when dried (no cure) then those that aren't. Also I've read a bit about trics & them degrading as they darken (cloudy or clear, cant remember, being their peak THC zone) which I don't argue. But the more amber on my buds be them indica or sativa produces more couch lock/ body buzz then just cloudy or clear trics or even both.. This I'll swear on & have a fair amount of experience with....PEACE...BsB.

YEP! NoDrama & Jesus are correct. Remove leaves that have fallen & allow those that still remain run their course.

leave them their, even though it might not look good and is not picture perfect, she will let it go when she is ready. No use in trying to speed up what she already has planned.
