How long can I harvest???

[HighSeekerz]

I have several plants going. Some of them are much larger and much further along budding than others. I was thinking I would do my regular florakleen right before harvest, then just cut the larger buds. Then, I will go back in a week and make a second cut. The whole time for the 2nd cut, I would just be running water or sugar water...

Any input???

Be sure to check the trichome color throughout the process, a staggered harvest will work fine.

Right, it's not the size of the buds, it's the stage of maturity.
Some strains ripen all at once. Some start from the bottom up.. and some from the top down! So you just keep your magnifying glass handy and you should be just fine.

White Widow is one. And White Rhino the other. Any input about harvesting these particular strains? Will cutting the top bud, or mature buds, allow or force the lower buds, or less mature buds, to produce more, or will it shock them? I am just speaking of harvest time of course...

Cutting any part of a plant DOES stress it but harvesting in stages is still pretty common. Keep your eyes open for herm flowers if it takes you ove a week start to finish in your harvesting process

Sounds simple enough. Thanks for the input!
