Yes! Had shingles once, has to be 6 years or more now, but you're absolutely right-that was the definitive factor, it wasn't unilaterally sided. This is all over. I'm sure a round of prednisone will help to calm the immune system and get these hives gones...appreciate your care and concern very much Stunger!
I ate tons of dirt as a wee ling!
Love it Burk! Always such fantastic buds from you my friend. Happiest Holidays to you and yours brother!Ready for Christmas Day cut ! Made it 9 days on drought Merry Christmas to all
Merry Christmas Krissi and family, I hope Santa brought you n yours everything you wantedLove it Burk! Always such fantastic buds from you my friend. Happiest Holidays to you and yours brother!
FYI guys just got back from the doc, 2 scripts should do me. She told me she thinks it's a stress response...me? Stressed?
But some steroids and a strong antihistamine and I should be good in 10 days or less!
Thanks for all you guys do for this droughting thread!
I'll be back with some scope shots of our now drying, post 8 Day droughted Blueberry Autoflower when I have some free time. Busy day today and wrapping tonight after dinner up north so I doubt I'll be able to get to it. Want to make them count!
Here's some bud shots of a cured Super Silver Crack bud I smoked this morning. She was droughted for 7 days but it wasn't documented as I didn't have the time unfortunately when I pulled them from the tent
Happy Droughting!

Nice 013! Have you droughted one yet?
Hey Krissi... I finally found my way down the rabbit hole. I thought you were droughting photos, I didn't realize you had been doing autos too. Fascinating stuff. I look forward to reading through.Hi SC!
*Note: This stress technique is a controlled droughting experiment done for up to 11 days around the 7th week of flower; the length of droughting time is determined only by the LWA (Leaf Wilt Angle) and not the total #of days*
Find a couple reference leaves, preferably from the mid to bottom of her. Measure the angle of the leaf from the petiole to the tip of the leaf.
During the drought monitor the angle of those leaves, once the angle of the leaf has reached a point of turgidness that is 50% below its starting number, the plant has had enough.
I do want to note that after droughting for so many plants, there are many factors to consider. This particular method was one experiment.
What I have seen over time is some plants don't wilt. Some get yellow, some do not. Some get brittle. Some nugs get dry before you see any effect in the leaves.
All strain and plant specific. Never seen the exact same response from any two.
I've never lasted the 11 days. I think my max was 8 with my original droughter, an Amnesia photoperiod in a 5gl water reserve pot. I'd say I average 5-6 days in a drought for my girls in the mediums they are in.
I'm maybe too confident in what I'm doing now, but I don't measure. I grow the same way, just feel what they need really.
I know that's not a teachable thing so I try to present this technique with its intended utilization as much as possible although I have kind of went astray from the original norm I began this thread from.
Be happy to have you join us @SCD and as always @AutoNautPsychoFlower, your enthusiasm, eagerness and excitement is just what we need to help everyone get the most out of their plants! Thank you so much for the ra-ra-shish-koom-ba
To everyone starting with Burk, sorry I am so late to responding and being here! I've been trying to balance a lot of health issues in my life and it's taken a toll on me emotionally. That has kept me from being able to manage all that I usually like to manage but it's an act if self preservation not because I don't want to be here or have lost interest in any way in what we are doing.good to hear you have it under control as you always do !!
Oh my liver hopes not!
Merry Christmas Shed! Hope you and yours had a wonderful holiday and a great start to the New Year!Merry Christmas Krissi, TK, Baby K, and all the droughters here!
we have talked plenty since, but Merry Belated Irish robe ruddyMerry Christmas Krissi and family, I hope Santa brought you n yours everything you wanted
Happiest New Year @OldMedUser. Hope all is well! How has everything been going?
Ugh hempy...not my bag. We have wanted an experimentee in this medium though, it is apparently you! Just keeping up with the Helpful Henry attitude I have always known you to have.
This is an interesting set up. Coming from the botanist, I would assume no less ingenuity.
That's a super smart idea. My overall thoughts are what we have all talked about here whenever hempy was brought up, that maybe a quasi-drought approach would work or be able to mimic the response seen in soil. I think your idea of keeping it moist enough with the spritzing is great. I'm sorry I didn't see this until now, what is going on? What have you noticed? How many days in are you or did you not trial yet?
I thought you had droughted prior
is this in reference to the current hempy?
Well Aloha Carmen! So nice to see you and I'm super stoked you found it over here. I haven't had many posts on my droughting as of late as aforementioned, but there sure is plenty here for you to start with.
Krissi thank you for the welcome. Shed said it right, the best team in Jersey. Take it easy and get strong. You've been missed.
