Can you just stop watering a plant and let it cure on the plant?

  1. A stealth grow box has carbon to filter the smell and has fans to circulate air.
    Can you just turn the lights off and not water it for a month?
     
  2. keep lights on reg schedule dont water it

    not 24, use 12/12
     
  3. thanks
    you sure you both are on the same page here?
     
  4. Dry and cure it in stealth leaving it in the box with the fans going through charcoal filters would keep the smells from escaping.:confused:
     
  5. it would trap smell in charcoal. ud have to change charcoal every few weeks depending on smell
     
  6. That would take forever. You can cut the whole plant down, flip it upside down to hang, and leave it in there with the lights off. That's how i would do it in your situation.
     
  7. I have it growing in organic soil.
    What i was thinking of was cutting the base like what you would do with flowers.
    Put them in water to flush for 3 to 4 days with lights on.
    Then no water no lights just fans going.
    They would be flushed.
    Stealth visibly and smell would be trapped by charcoal which the fans blow through.
    I am going to try cloning before i try any of this.

    This farming stuff is hard.

  8. I can flip it upside down after flushing.
    Do you put anything down to catch pollen falling off as it dries?
    I was thinking of putting aluminum foil down.
     
  9. Your not interested in pollen unless your breeding plants and that isn't the way to get it. THC will not fall off your hanging buds unless you mess with them a lot during the dry period and that is only because handling your buds will damage your trichomes and degrade the plant.
     
  10. Don't think you should put the plant under lights after you cut it
    could damage the bud
     
  11. I will leave them hanging in the dark.
     
  12. If you grew it organically, it doesn't need to be flushed.
     
  13. Thanks i thought you had to flush it no matter what.
     
  14. Pollen i meant to say kief.

    You would be majorly at risk for mold if you did that.
     
  16. I am running a dehumidifier keeping humidity at 35%.
     
  17. Are you using nutes? If so flush is a must!!!!! and flush a week or 2 prior to harvesting
     
  18. If organic just water alot with pHed water last 2 weeks like you normally would, but with no nutes.. then chop, dry, dry, cure. toke.
     
  19. I can't wait it looks beautiful.
