well, day 77 felt like the day to do it... harvested her tonight, after a 48-hour nap in complete darkness but steady airflow. Buds appeared to plump up but it may just have been psychological since I went two days without seeing her for the first time in a month. Either way, Plant actually looked better than before I turned the lights out, but I think I flushed correctly, which if I am correct about this, would most likely cause the plant to look healthier since it basically gets rid of what is just being built up in the soil so it can breathe easier, correct me if I am wrong please, as this is my first time, and most of my theories have come from reading all of your posts on AFN as well as other grower forums and articles, etc.. The "dark" period, i know is controversial, but the reason I chose to do it was an explanation of what happens "at night" to the plants sugars; they apparently go back into storage in the root system so that the next day as the sun rises, so do sugar levels in the leaves. With the dark period, if the sugars leave the bud sites and leaves, then theoretically, the buds should actually cure quicker (not DRY quicker) and create a smoother smoke as opposed to letting it have light up until it's chopped which can create harshness and/or a longer cure time. Again, if I am wrong please feel free to correct me.
I cut the stems off and trimmed each bud, and layered the bottom of a brown paper bag with two holes cut near the top and a fan blowing air off of a wall and right back at the bag as to create indirect airflow. Last time I hung dry on a clothes hanger with a fan blowing out of the little cubby i used to dry and the buds were over dried and have been in a jar almost a month now with a boveda pack and still smell like hay, but greener, to be honest, I don't think I flushed that one very well, the harvest was mostly seeds as it was pollinated by a hermie. So, technically, this is my first sensi grow and harvest. not a lot of yield wet, so even less dry, but I am just learning and I used cfl's without really even having a "grow space" that was conducive to growing anything. I will be back once dry enough for a quick taste test. If anyone has any advice as to how I am proceeding and weather I am doing something foolish, please feel free to reply to this post. Thank you all again for the help. I will be back soon with a dry yield/smoke report for Berry Ryder. peace.
Great job of getting to harvest bro
