Hmmmmm.... Well, i figured that they would wilt fast. Every thing is faster when comparing hydro to soil. But a couple of hours...really. Ill try it with one first and after about a hour Ill cut it and then hang it with all the leaves on. And at the same time ill just cut a separate one, trim it, and then hang it with the untrimmed one. We will see in the end if it makes any difference with hydro like it does with soil. thanks for the info man, it always helps.
