HYDRO Drying while still in bucket

I’m wondering if there is a reason to cut down the plants to hang dry vs just emptying water from the reservoir and leave the plant (roots and all) in the bucket and moved to the drying area?
Would that cause drying issues? What about cutting back the roots to the basket?

Cheers

It will take a LOT longer. The more plant matter the more moisture. The reasoning behind cutting the plant and hanging in sections is to prevent mold and accelerate drying and improve airflow around buds. Hanging upside down is just easiest as buds on top are heavy and gravity. Sure you could leave it in the pot but i cant guarantee you wont have mold or it wont take 2-3 weeks to dry. I usually have mine jarred within a week of cutting down.
 
Thanks. I was just wondering if it was possible. I hadn’t seen anybody mention it or ask the question.
 
It's good to question why we do things or we get stuck doing the same thing and never improve. Sometimes there is a good reason, others, is more preference or it is "just the way it's always been done". There is always more than one way to skin a cat...just thought about it and who the F came up with that saying? I dont condone skinning cats btw, i used to have 2...
 
As the saying goes “there’s no such thing as a stupid question.”
As for cats...at what point in history was cat fur trendy to wear? 🤣 I’m a dog person but love cats just as much.
 
“There’s more than one way to skin a cat means there are many ways to do something, there are many ways to achieve a goal. The oldest known use of the phrase dates back to 1854, in the work ’Way down East; or, Portraitures of Yankee Life by Seba Smith. However, there’s more than one way to skin a cat has its roots in older, similar phrases such as there are more ways to kill a cat than choking it with cream, found in the 1830s. It seems that originally the animal in question was a dog, as a seventeenth-century proverb is there are more ways to kill a dog than hanging.”

I copied this from https://grammarist.com/phrase/more-than-one-way-to-skin-a-cat/
 
lol interesting. I think I'm going to start using the ice cream variant from now on...that will confuse the hell out of people!
 
Recipe? Hmm... a buddy 'jokingly' used to refer to cats as the other, other white meat.
I dare anyone who reads this to google 'cat recipes'. Get back to me when you do.
Don't tell alltatup.
 
That's funny. I read that originally, in the 1400s, the saying was, "There is more than one way to shut a ginger up." This was during the Ginger Plague, which caused all red-haired people to talk non-stop. It almost wiped out all the gingers because they wouldn't stop to eat or drink, so they died from dehydration.
 
Cat meat is definitely not white. And neither am I, so I get to know this on a personal, cultural level.

Kinda like the Inuit are still legally permitted, in certain times of the year, to go out and harpoon whales from kayaks, or something like that.
 
I'd have to duct tape over it's claws. Tape the front legs together and the back legs together. Then all four together. Wrap it's head in tape except for it's eyes so it can see what's coming. And just man up with a couple feminine hygiene products so I don't get sprayed or pooped on. There might be pulling of hair from the tape. But a few pulled hairs would not be the very worst thing.
