Wait until the soil is super dry before chop. I find this helps reduce chances of mold. I personally like to wet trim then hang in the dark at about 65%RH and about 22°C. Cure for min. 1 month

Green thumb lady is all over it.
68-70 F
55-65 rh
slow drying / curing is key. All of your hard work doesn’t need to go to waste. I use turkey bags to cure. Open 24 hrs close 24 hrs. Some may disagree but it’s always worked for me. If it isn’t dank smelling after two weeks something went wrong.

I’m hydroponic but for the rest thank you

Is lower humidity an issue? Like 50 RH

Any reason for not using mason jars?

Lower humidity will make it dry faster which typically creates a harsher smoke. You want to aim for 7 days. If you're stuck with 50%rh consider dry trimming.
Turkey bags are helpful for larger quantities. Mason jars work great too.

Personal preference mason jars work great as well. Drying and curing in a Controlled environment were key for me. I burp bags in the same humidity and temp. Basically my room shuts down while going through this process. I feel the slower the better. Just try to keep humidity at 62 all the time: drying curing burping storing and you’ll be happy with your bud.

OK guys see pics below. i think shes finally ready. Let me know what you think. Also a little worried about the foxtail going on in that one pic but whatever. my plan here is starting tonight, 48 hours of darkness with ice by the stems replaced every 6 hours (on the rock medium) and then begin harvest. Do you need the 48 hrs of dark prior to cutting? not sure if the ice does anything so if thats dumb let me know.

I would say it is not time based on the picture.

What about now

This is why I dont flush.

But im admittedly just bro sciencing here in a way that makes sense to me. Lol

I dont flush because simply put I dont see the point in cutting the girls short of what they need right before harvest.

You can flush the roots but you can't flush out the buds themselves.

Yes the plant can use reserves in the leaves to feed itself but again those nutrients end up in the buds.

Maybe lower the amount of nutes but don't cancel them out completely.

TIMBER!!!!!!!!
