Last days of flowering...need more instructions!!!!

[XroadsterX]

Hows it going everyone. I'm on my last week of flowering...i'm supposed to harvest on Monday (24th). First Grow and i'm SUPER PLEASED WITH IT...Am i supposed to give them total darkness 2 days before i harvest? I think i was told that, but i dont remember and i cant seem to find it anywhere. I've already stopped giving them nutes 2 weeks ago....they're on a strict water diet only, and I'm assuming the yellowing of the leaves is because they're using all the left over energy from them.

What do you guys think? You can be honest...i can take it.

How much weight is lost during drying? 50%?

yeah darkness for the last 48 hours....are u harvesting by time or by checking the trichs?....

[XroadsterX]

Thanks for the input pothead. I'm harvesting by time. The person i got the seeds from said its 60 days give or a take a day or so on the money....he used to check the triches, but said the difference in "high" is not noticeable. So i'm just going to run with it. What do you think of my first grow?

Sounds like you got it all figured man, good luck.

I got 22 oz off 1 plant which dried to 4oz so...

[XroadsterX]

Damn Khan...that sounds like a monster plant....

Dude She looks real good, but u should have stopped watering to, that would have speed up the drying process...and she will loose weight, how much???i seriously dont know

[XroadsterX]

So i should stop watering all together at this point? I'm scheduled to water them tomorrow actually....i dont want them to die on me either.

[Pothead4204life]

yeah dude..stop watering..it forces a little stress on the plants and i believe it increases thc production...what lights you have?...nice grow by the way....
