So I guess technically its not making the plant produce more thc, jsut more crystals, and helps it reach its max potential. I have also noticed that smoke taste smoother this way. laterz..
Well I'm going to try it next harvest. I don't suppose it could hurt much. I was wondering if you have ever done any experiments to see if there really is a difference. I kinda was under the impression that the plant may not reach it's full potentiel if you deprive it of water (and therefore nutes in hydro), even for a couple days. But I will trust you and I am going to try it.

And I have hung mine upside down like you are describing. I can't tell a difference between that, and putting them on a screen with air flow undernieth. I could be wrong, but I don't think hydro vs soil makes any difference in the way a plant should be dried.
Opie Yutts Reviewed by Opie Yutts on . ***Drying after DWC*** I was wondering what would be the best method of drying my plants when they are in DWC. Im used to growing with soil, so I would not water for about 3-5 days right before harvesting to get more thc, and less of that nitrogen taste. I would cut the plant at the base and hang it as is for about 3 days. THEN I would go about the normal trimming and drying. I find that your smoke taste the best when doing this method. So im thinking to achive this with DWC, I will completely drain the water out of Rating: 5
