This is a test. Different harvest times and parts of the plant.

Day 47

For once Iâ??m going to try a harvest the right way. From my understanding this means taking different parts of the plant at different times. Not all buds get ripe at the same time, and someone correct me if Iâ??m wrong but normally the buds closest to the light mature faster. Some people go so far as to do a perpetual harvest, where they harvest for months, letting the lower and less mature parts of the plant grow some before harvesting them. I read years back that some people bud a plant for years, though I canâ??t find anything about it on the boards. Anyone?

If things go according to plan Iâ??ll also be testing how harvest times affect the way a plant smokes. As most of you probably know, the longer you let a plant mature the more amber the trichomes will become, and the more it will have a narcotic, couch-lock effect. The sooner you harvest the more clear the trichomes will be, and youâ??ll be more likely to be able to think and work while high.

Trichomes, from the Greek meaning "growth of hair", are fine outgrowths or appendages on plants and certain protists. These are of diverse structure and function. Examples are hairs, glandular hairs, scales, and papillaeâ?¦A common type of trichome is a hairâ?¦Any of the various types of hairs may be glandular. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichome

So hereâ??s my first real indoor dirt grow, and my first cuttings at day 47 of flowering. 3 days ago they got their first flush of plain water, and thatâ??s probably all theyâ??ll get from now on. On the left and right is BBxNL and in the middle is AK-47. FYI the left plant was LSTed some, and the right one was topped twice and weaker branches removed. As to be expected LST seems to give more and smaller buds. The photos are after removing three test buds.
