Not trying to hijack your thread Nikolai, but here’s one more thing you should know. In the last two weeks or so, the buds are doing their final fattening up. A lot of that goes down at the end. Sometimes it’s not immediately apparent and you may think nothing is happening. But trust me it is, if you grew it right. These plants are right. So you’re gonna have a “final fattening.” Invisible and all internal or visible and external so you see it, the plant is adding mass and density to the buds. In other words, as the trichomes finish up you are also adding bulk. YIELD. So if you take the plant too early, you are not only compromising quality of your end product, you’re compromising how much bud you end up with.
We old Deadheads used to have a saying we’d say to newcomers at shows:
Don’t leave before the miracle happens.
It’s a good concept to apply to harvesting your buds.

Hey Shed how u doin got one question for u i ask Jon as well but i want to ask u as well its about flushing. by that i mean only giving the photo plain water made to 6.3 ph . when do u think is the best time to do so by the look of the plant. Biobizz suggest 2 weeks before harvest and the plant is pretty much in that window +- what do u think about that any tips?
Do you know what you're trying to accomplish with a water feed only for the last two weeks, other than following Biobizz' instructions?
It has no effect on the nutrient content of the flowers at harvest if that's what you're thinking. That myth has been debunked. I'd say feed them until harvest unless you're running out of nutes!

the last harvest i got the smoke was abit harsh and it was in the jar alot of time i didnt flush it and i readed that by doing that it will clean it and it will have better taste but if its not correct i will do as u recommend i dont have much trust on what i read thats why i ask you friends best source
.
What you feed it at the end has no bearing on how it tastes. That's totally up to how you dry and cure it. If you get your post-harvest game on point your flowers will be the best they can be.

Try for as slow a dry as you can. That’s why I said ask Shed about the flushing too. Good stuff. A slow dry will give you much better results than a fast dry. Your harshness last time might have been from a quick dry, idk. When I mess up and they dry too fast I’m always dissatisfied.
My last harvest was to warm for a slow dry & couldn't control the RH so I put the bud in multiple paper grocery bags & put in a frost free fridge & removed every few days & spread them out for a few hours & back into the fridge took a little over 2 weeks but really liked the way they came outthe last harvest i got the smoke was abit harsh and it was in the jar alot of time i didnt flush it and i readed that by doing that it will clean it and it will have better taste but if its not correct i will do as u recommend i dont have much trust on what i read thats why i ask you friends best source

hey guys got few questions. im using dehumidifier atm for the grow room and i connected it from the back to a 10l bottle and i made it so not air go inside but only the water my question is this water usable for the plants?
and my other question is about deleafing the photo from below for better ciruculation there are many leaves some atop of others no signs of moisture on them but there are many should i clean them abit or leave it be?

Dehumidifier water is a big no no for watering plants. I would'nt even use it in my humidifier. I've seen moulds growing in mine and horror stories from people using it on their plants.
You could possibly treat it before use but then again RO is a better alternative.
I wouldn't defoliate any of your plants. When you've covered the whole footprint without hardly any light going through the canopy I start removing lower growth and do "lollipopping" by removing any shoots not receiving adequate light. I think in terms of first covering your footprint then defoliate.
The plant use the leaves as their main source for photosynthesis, it's better to leave them on the plant until they're being well covered before removing them IMO. I see people remove and train very excessively in veg believing the plant will focus more on the remaining shoots. I'm afraid that's not how plant biology work. The plants uses the whole mass of leaves and flowers to control and remain homeostasis. If you remove excess leaves the plant has a harder time regulating temperature and mineral concentrations and you will slow down growth.
Hope that helps!
Cheers!
Those puppies still have their final fattening up to go yet!!!! They’re gonna get bigger still.
He’s right. Don’t take a leaf unless you get visible moisture. They’re your engines. As you take leaves your plant becomes weaker technically with each leaf. They are why your buds look so good.
