Re: Question

Looks like Leary asked specifically about spraying at harvest..sort of...clip, spray, hang...and that would be bad.

Some folks start the drying process before the plant is ever cut: The leaching of salts in the final weeks; some people will partially deprive the plants of water in the final days for various reasons, but if necessary, first mist-wash the outer surfaces being careful not to saturate the flowers - water can be physically drawn into toward the center of dense buds (between flower clusters, not into the plant itself) lending higher potential to mold in certain climates...and careful not to use strong jets of water toward the end of the cycle.


Tangent:
Jets... (MJ Botany: Clarke covers breeding for resin tenacity, which is likely a dominant trait these days, but keep in mind the heritage of indicas, strains with loose trichomes were artificially selected, so some lineages may still carry hashy genes.)


we love our plant
