    COCO COIR Should I water my plant just before harvesting?

    Hey all, I am about due to harvest and I wonder if I should water my plants just before harvesting or should I wait until the medium is dry to cut it up? Medium is coco coir with perlite, setup is a tent with LED lights. Plants are auto fem purple Kush. Please advise! Thanks in advance.

    Happy T Day! I would wait at least 2 days following watering to cut so the plant has a chance to give up some of the excess moisture. Some will leave it longer to begin drying on the stalk. No reported difference either way I know of.

      make it plain water and wait until its had time to use up any remaining nutes 2-3 days
      I hope there is an afterlife...there are a lot of friends and family I'd like to see again, one day.

        I don't think it makes a difference, but I did notice when trimming, if the plant is wilted it is harder to do the trim job.
        Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.
