Well heck let’s just try it out and see! I will post before and after pics after her last feeding. Should be just the right timing.

Beautiful! Good luck NTH! Can't wait to hear and see the results!
The only way to go ! Drought at 8 weeks then fed and then cut at 10 weeks with no other feedings . Was perfect for me .

Absolutely loving those nugs, I might add!! Sweet harvest man!
I was at 90 give or take but also a known sativa. Knew my cut was at least 10 weeks. Worked out perfect for me ! pay attention to trics and your own personal preferences. Sativa means all cloudy to me ! 
look at first pic , the jar in background ! trics on nug in jar
thank you ! I did the labor but all was learned here !!!!

I don't like overwhelming trichs I pull relatively early, too. 30% max on ambers regardless of genetics for meI was at 90 give or take but also a known sativa. Knew my cut was at least 10 weeks.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up yet, but why can't the case be made to drought every watering for the last 2 or 3 waterings?

Isn't that technically what you would do if you droughted straight to harvest anyway?

Not really..what I'm saying is I just got done with a 5 and 7 day drought but looks like I still have a week or 10 days left. I'm not sure I would have risked that much more time droighting before they died. However, I watered and brought them back up but I can drought before next watering. Is that how it's supposed to be done?
I'm probably not making any sense.

I am a little confused. You droughted. She isn't done and you want to drought her again before harvest? Is that what I am hearing you say? I feel like we are in couples therapy right now trying to understand eachother lol
I can't see why not. I've done it like that before to fit my needs.

Great, thanks for getting back Stone!!
And in LOS a microbe soak in my opinion.
Thats how I did it ! I think you can drought till you feel finished to an extent . I lightly drought through out my grow anyway

Yeah it does feel like therapy right now lol. I guess what I'm asking is what is the damage done if there are longer periods in between watering during flower? Is growth potentially stunted?
I would think it is a balance between the two. With draughting it seems you are trying to induce a protection reaction in the form of more and denser trichomes from the plant that then stays put (i.e. doesn't get reversed when you stop).
If you do it as a regular and periodic practice I would think you'd get the effect, but would do so at the expense of some growth you'd get otherwise if you just did it a time or two near the end.
