So, after the 72 hrs no water & no light, do you add water before the 24 hrs lights & 12/12? Or keep it dry the entire time?
the original info was to finish answering a few others who got all the info.
so here is the whole thing.
last 14 to 10 days your flushing with only water, no chems :ice can be put in the daylight cycle after the first hr of light before watering occurs[tap water ice is OK :: get the temp of the medium down below 60 dgf [never use chems or any kind of flushing shit they want to sell you][your ppm should be less then 400.
so
your lights are really on for 11 hrs and 13 off during that time or if sativa and sativa dominants the last 3 weeks.
then
the last 3 days no water at all.
leave all leaf on the plant for the entire grow.the carbs,sugars etc are produced by the fan and sun leaf.
they are the main production factory's for the entire life of the leaf that sends all the building blocks to the next leaf/node set up.
during the night the plants are dumping and storing the carbs , enzymes and sugars which produce more resins,Turpin and trichomes.
so out of every 24 hrs of the last 3 days.
the lights come on for only 4 hrs.
the photosynthesis during that short time push shit pots of ripe crystals and finish the unripe ones. take a pic of the same bud every day and put on your computer and compare.[you will see "D.K.S."
= "Dynamite Killer Shit" happening..
this will increases your yield by 10% or more in weight. and add 3 to 6% more potency and triple or more the duration of your high.
also it will be almost 5 times more potent it canebs you normally don't get.[the non psychoactive ones] the ones that help your immune system , anti fungal, anti bacterial and anti viral plus lots of anti inflammatory .
then if many of the fan and sun leaf are dry you can cut them off before hanging the plants. leave on all green ones and trim them as they start to get crumbly. control humidity in the drying room and temp.
not over 50% and 76 dgf. and not under 20% and 55 dgf. this will insure a slow dry cure of about 14 to 21 days. it will be god candy tasty and trippy kick ass long lasting high.
you can manicure to pretty buds when the stems crack and pliable. you can cure longer if you want.
use c vaults for curing. with 62 bovedas. twice as many as the c vaults say. the owner of c vault is a mmj patient friend of mind. we have done hundreds of pounds of test curing of every kind of method and the c vaults with 62 bovedas by far works best.
to start the cure in c vaults put buds and layer in the bovedas.
then with lid partly on add co2 gas.
burp 1 to 2 times a day mixing the buds and re adding the co2. for the next 3 to 5 days. 7 days is OK and sometimes better.
at that point your ready to smoke the best shit in the world you have ever smoked. no doubt ,CANDY OF THE GODS. IF YOU WANT TO STORE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. MORE THEN 90 DAYS. add nitrogen to the cans and leave in cool area of about 68 dgf. 1 year from now that will be better then cup winning shit. most of us old timers who grow the best in the world anyone has ever smoked have been asked not to enter the cups cause we never lose . hehehehe. all the great famous fuckers out there wont tell ya all the tricks to get the D.K.S. yep that legendary sweet leaf people remember.
THEY JUST WANT TO SELL YA ANOTHER BOOK.
