Droughted bud is the strongest! Maritimer had some tested and it may contain new components to it after drought! @Maritimer what did the test say?This. I don't always see a difference in the buds after droughting, but my droughted buds are always the strongest. They just have an extra kick to them. It's no Buffalo Bill skin suit, but it's worth a few dead leavesAnd wait until you see her after the drought with all those dead leaves trimmed off
Wow Stone she is Magnificent.DAY 3 DROUGHT UPDATE
Hi all, she's holding up well. Going light all over and generally looking old and beautiful! She's a frosty one!
Hey BillWow Stone she is Magnificent.
Well done Amigo.

I'm twitching I'm so ready!
I'll be happy with 4 more days. That will give her seeds a full 5 week period to mature.She's a mature beauty, Stone!
She's not showing her droughting yet,
but I'm sure she'll look like hell in a few more days ...
I know Krissi swears by it. CLHey Bill

Maritimer and she are championing it and I'm right with them Cap'n! Just have to have it work once to never stop.I know Krissi swears by it. CL
That's just the nicest thing to say Bode! Due to the 420 Mag members helping me and getting great genetics I get lucky now and then!
Otter, I am dead keen to try droughting. Would you be willing to walk me through it towards the end of my next grow please?
With pleasure carmen!
Thank you. Will you tell me when to start and stop?
That's the question of the moment! Yep! But I can't guarantee it will happen at all. Some plants just don't show me they can do it. Sometimes it's a timing thing. Some that are finishing too fast I won't do.Thank you. Will you tell me when to start and stop?
Stone you make an important point, IMO. Pot size is important. I grow in 3 gallon pots and they do not retain enough water for an extended drought.
I've been noticing that. The way I see it, and as I've done it, if they get to the wilt angle, I rescue them rather than continue to their death. They may not have gotten to the greatest part of the process but it's close enough for me to say I gave it a try in the window I feel is open to this plant. Unless someone has more to tell me I can do, I've done all I know to do. I don't think a plant needs to die during this process. I think it's probably more important to not die during drought to get/keep the goodness flowing. That's all hearsay though.
Yes, I have 2 stationary and 1 moving across the tops in there. I can see how they saw at each other. See Saw Hehe
Thank you both very much!
That looks like some good hooch! How many weeks from the flip?FIRST DAY OF DROUGHT TODAY! UPDATE
Whew! Hi all! Made it! I get the feeling she's all grown and it's time for drought. Today is the first day! I wonder how long this thing will keep? Anybody drought one in a SIP and remember how it went? I'd love to hear!
My plan is to let it happen. Time hasn't been in my drought plan until this run, If the leaf deflection happened in 4 days I was happy. Now I'm hearing it's better to have it go to the long side of the time which is 11 days I think. So if it takes that long good but if it dries and deflects in 5 I'm saying I'd like to take her down unless there's a way to continue it and not lose days. She's done. All I see is a pile of buds when I look now hehe, I'm done too.
She's still beautiful as she decays all over.
Her meat and potatoes!
As I was cropping this pic I realized I liked the original pic much better.

Day 1 drought.
Hey Meffa, they're 47 or 9 days from flip now I believe. Not a long runner. I can't wait to cut this one!
