Harvesting Question

[Potologist]

Wait until it's almost bone dry - until the leaves begin to droop. Then give it darkness - then chop. :smile:

OK.. organic bogbubble lady less than 2 weeks from harvest. I know that I want to give nothing but plain water for the last week .. i even know to give her 48 or so hours of darkness before harvest.

My question is.. does anyone know if its ok to harvest shortly after watering or is it better to plan the last wateing so that the soil is close to dry by harvest time? My medium can go 4 days without water easy. so if I water just before going into the 48hr darkness the medium may still be moist when harvest comes. My newbie instinct is telling me to time it so that harvest is about the time that the medium is dry and would be ready for a good watering but my newbie instinct has been wrong before.

I like my plants nice and dry when I cut them. I start reducing the amount of water I give 'em about 2 weeks before harvest. Cut back to 1/2 dose, and they get the last watering 4-5 days before the cut.
I just cut 3 of my 4 Bog Bubbles. Awesome strain.....heres a pic.

I cut mine Both with the Soil dry and wet! It really doesnt make much of a difference to me. I think when i take them with the soil wet, it just takes a little longer to dry! Peace. ~ograskal

^^^yep... the only thing that really matters, is not to try to train them while they are really dry... duh
