Not sure when to harvest?

[jake1166]

hey guys i was just wondering by staggering your harvest like that when u actually do that do you just cut the top off or do you have to leave the stem intact in order for the plant to do anything worthwhile for the bottom buds in those last weeks? im a newb as well and im really unsure about how to do this without harming the plant to the point that its not worth it. dont want to intrude on your post just figured the answer could help others as well. have a good one fellas, and happy growing!

HyJack ON!

NoVa,.... Since you don't even know the strain your dealing with, there's NO WAY for anyone to answer with any kind of certainty. But it looks like a sativa, and it's less than 1/2 way there. It's plugged in the ground, and your not using nutes. Ok, that's how it was grown for thousands of years!

Go to Radio Shack and get a microscope. Illuminated Microscope - RadioShack.com and let the Trichomes tell you when they are done. :jointsmile:


Jake, I've never taken just part of a plant at harvest, but I believe Haole was referring to taking the more mature "top" of the plant and letting the bottom buds get more light to fatten up more before harvesting them.
