In my experience, removing buds/arms individually will provide a 25-40% increase in yield. I did the same thing with my native non-herb flowers here(bee balm flowers)at the house a week ago, and am already getting a second bloom.
So, are you saying that I should cut the most ripe branches, then wait another week or two? (or until the others look like they are completely done)? just to clarify
happymedicine Reviewed by happymedicine on . Not sure when to harvest? Hey, Guys. So I have a question that needs a somewhat precise answer (or as specific to this situation as possible). I have two strains growing, a Grandaddy Purple@ 30" and a Bubble [email protected]' I was just wondering whether or not it is getting close to harvest. i live on the central coast of california and have these growing in my backyard. I thought these strains would not be ready until october, bu they are exhibiting some signs of harvest coming in a few weeks (based on what I have read). Rating: 5
