My First Grow Auto-Flowering

[Royal Nugs]

The idea with the darkness is to stress the plant into forcing more trichome development. I've tried it but didn't do a side by side, I don't think it's significant... You can also let the plant dry out for the same reason. I think most of the magic has already occurred and the last couple days won't make a huge difference.

I've always harvested at the end of the dark cycle, from what I recall it has something to do with photosynthesis and active chlorophyll production. Could be hokum too but it seems to be widely accepted.

I agree, they look ready to harvest to me, too. The buds look fabulous! I bet it smells great in there

Thanks! Funny you should say that! One smells delicious!!!!
The other has no smell at all, is that a problem? Should all cannabis smell?

It's completely normal for some plants to smell more than others. I've had some plants that stunk even in the vegetative stage (and were overwhelming by the flowering stage), and other plants that never really had a smell from beginning to end. I think it depends a lot on the strain/plant!

Congrats on a great harvest! As far as organic soil, some growers like using organic, amended, composted soil. It's as close to nature as you can get - you basically just add water
