When do you stop feeding your plants in preparation of harvest? And when you do, is it ok that the plant starts to turn a bit yellowish? If not, what do I do about it?

I stopped nutes about 2 weeks before the first part of harvest. Nothing but water after that. The plants looked like dried cornstalks, EXCEPT for those thick green buds.

I STOP NUTES 1 WEEK, ( ABOUT 2 WATERINGS ), BEFORE I CUT THEM BABIES DOWN, AND GIVE JUST CLEAN WATER. WATER THE SAME AMOUNT AS USUAL.

GOOD LUCK

yes 1-2 wks is bout optimal, maybe 3(if u prefer-jus to b safe remember u'll be smokin that), then water with plain water...but stop watering atleast a couple of days b4 u harvest, b/c it will help with the drying/curing process

Your soil should tell you that, however many days it takes between waterings, add two full light cycle(s) (so they're REALLY thirsty) then harvest. That way, you can "moralize" the killing, since they didn't "die of dehydration" from a careless "farmer" they were simply "made soylent" at the brink of death by a most righteous "farmer". :stoned: Period... :stoned:

I stop feeding one week before harvest, i also then flush the plants and leave them for the last week with no water... then they;ve already started drying when you harvest :)
