Is it best to water as usual or should you withhol...

I grow DWC, never had any problems in my harvest. There are no tricks that can improve your plants the last few days of growth, stop watering and feeding nutrients, put into darkness, but there sure are some that can do some damage if you’re not careful.

Personally, I stop giving water 2 days before harvest..........this seems to make for a better drying process. If it is outdoors and really hot, you may not have any choice but to water the day before harvest, but I would never water on harvest day. Obviously, those that grow hydroponically have water until harvest and I have never heard of any issues with drying from those people. Keeping things on the dry side for the last 3 weeks is said to be beneficial, but there is nothing you can do in the last 2-5 days before harvest that will magically transform your buds from ok to out-of-this-world...........despite what some people claim......although soaking rocks in a water solution while a cultist priest recites mantras may be worth trying!

-Lleave it out for 48hours so it can stagnate and grew weird shit in it. -Stir in some magical geodes - you know? those pretty rocks? -Drink it - this does 2 things.. it'll cure you of cancer, because of the magical geode infusion as well as add natural sorces of minerals and bilirubin as you piss it back into a 5-galllon bucket, but we are not done yet. -Have a warren jeffs cult priest recite a buddhist mantra for 2hours, 15 minutes and 27 seconds, and it's almost ready to be used... Not a second longer or the whole batch is ruined. -Now, leave it in total darkness at 80F / 80% RH for 72 hours. This allows the contents to settle and "activated," lol. This will increase your yield 10% and overall terpene production by 50% according to self-reporting anecdotes, which obviously carry a ton of integrity.

Less moisture content in your plant at harvest will speed the dry = no bueno/never do it type of fundamentals

Common sense will tell you the plant goes floppy due to low water retention.. point proved.. just like you wouldn't water and then crop an hour later or that night even it doesn't make sense but each to there own. I like the last few waters to be as close to just water as possible. That just me though...

Some say it’s gets a bit of a head start on drying a curing. I don’t know that there’s any real concrete evidence of it though.
