Hey all thanks for the answers. I knew that obviously a plant has to die to smoke it. I just was curious about cutting it down as opposed to it dying on its own. Well, So far so good. It tastes good and definately works, and thats not even cured properly yet, just the smaller popcorns that were dried. It was close to harvest anyways, I was worried about not flushing it, but I've noticed that in DWC the lack of medium means it doesnt get built up with nutes. Ive noticed no added harshness or odor/taste. Its a c99xbb so it tastes just like it usually does, like blueberry lemonade! (seriously...mmmmmm:thumbsup The dwc bucket just was completely empty for a day and since the leaves were already falling off due to harvest nearing, it wouldn't rebound. NO probs, it didnt completely finish swelling, but i got 2.25 oz out of it, plus some trim for cookies!!:jointsmile:
