Thanks @HawkMan I really appreciate your input my man, I’m on a feed water scheduled usually every 3-4 days I try to let the soil dry out and let the plants wilt a bit.

Not so much “wilt” they will if you let them go 6-7 days without water --myself I do 3-4 days dry period once in veg and in flower also. Here is what works for me - Do a heavy defoliation start of week 4 of veg and then 1 week before 12/12 flip do a 3-4, day dry period then feed veg/flower nutes one day berfore flip - then in week 4 of flower do a defoliation, then feed - let dry 2-3days at week 6 then do your light feeding in late flower, flush for 4-5 days before harvest

@HawkMan ok. I’ll use that as a guideline and add my own rhythm from there. I really appreciate you pointing out the defoliation periods/water/feedings.

What would you recommend with the drying and curing method. My first grow I hung them in my closet…too dry by the second day.

drying depends on strain (fluffy bud or tight/rockhard buds) geberally I let dry for about 3-4 days (some dry till you can “snap” a branch, mysel when the bud fills “spongy” I then cut bds off the branchec and put them in a plastic tub seal ( I’m sweating the buds) it and open it up every day for 15 minutes or so till buds are “some what dry” Then I jar them up for curring - curring can take 15days to months which is dependent on strsan you grow. After a few grows you will find what works for you !!!

Week 7 day 2 just coasting now I guess still on feed/water schedule. Ones a little drier than the other but I still think it can dry out more. Idk why but I like to let the plant wilt until I feed/water again. I’m getting nice trichome production but I think my buds can be bigger…🥲🥲🥲 but I’m thinking I’m going to have to go to week 9 or 9.5 just to get some nice production. I had a blurple light in the beginning but I switched to full spectrum in flower. @mrwonderful @Dog_Fart1 @happilyretired @chrisj @PreyBird1 @htowngrower @Slym3r @sssportsmfg @TexasGrown

What do you think fellas?

Yep I agree they look great. Now you’re going to get more color and they’re going to swell too. :+1:t3:

When should I expect swelling? I’ve been waiting for it. I’ve seen a little growth but I don’t know when to expect then to swell rapidly.

Thanks man. I’ve been working hard trying to make my first successful grow.

Thanks man, how’s things going with your girls and your new vent system?

They’re just gonna get fatter and they’re not going to get bigger they’re going to get more dense harder heavier. Take a close-up picture of a specific bud in a specific area and then do it again in a week and you’ll see what I’m talking about. If you look at them three times a day or even one time a day it makes it a lot harder to see.

Ok, I’ll keep that in mind from now on. I was looking for pretty much a flower explosion in the last couple weeks. Thanks for making things more realistic for me.

I also have one more question, would it hurt my girls if I wanted to fall into the temptation of clipping a a couple lower last buds to “test”?
