Grow Closet Help

Question:

I know that the kids are well into their final stages so here it goes. Judging from This pic would it be detrimental if I clipped a few of the bottom colas that are Not receiving a ton of light?

Thanx

Some people do just the opposite of that. They wait until the big buds (main colas,top flowers) are ready and harvest them and leave the smaller buds on the plant and keep them under the lights for a few more days so the buds get bigger and are worth harvesting.

[Esteban1]

That makes good sense:

Was told to do something similar... visa vie; Since colas mature at various times in development (Colas closest to the light source) THEY should be harvested 1st..... Then I suppose the ones that are in the middle & so on & so forth.

Forgot to mention that the harvest shold be done in stages occurring within a week. This info was explained to me by a grower in Oregon. Fairly simple process..... I think?

[Esteban1]

Will be doing just that.... Like ur style Hemporer****** Guys/Gals..... This is 1 plant. All of the kids are getting so heavy that I may need to utilize a stake to prevent from bowing. Ideas/comments always entertained

attempting to remove the colitas from the bottom. Only tried a 1 from each girl to get a feel. I am a few weeks away from the end product so we will see. Questions/comments concerning this procedure are welcome!

A lot of people do that. The only thing I want to had is dry the test bud properly like you would do when you normaly harvest. Speading up the drying process will only ruin the test and disapoint you before you really taste the final product.:thumbsup:

Hemporer:

Thanks.... actually have them drying on top of the metal portion of the lights so they will just dry out in a few days or so? There is SO MUCH FRIGG'N CONTRADICTORY INFORMATION OUT THERE CONCERNING GROWING THAT MY HEAD IS ABOUT TO IMPLODE. Curious as to why there is a "Banned" under your name?

So:

My question is this..... Fed the kids the scheduled "Heavy Feed" of Fox Farm nutes last week, the next feed like 5 days ago was a "Light Feed" & they responded so well that I gave them another "Heavy Feed" y'day morning & today they like gained another 5% mass!! No tip burns.... notta. Should I continue with feeding them on this schedule or will they succumb at some point? I know the feeding schedule schedule but it appears that depending on conditions.... visa vie "genetics" & other changing variables one may give the plants the nutes that they so desire based on the growth rate??

Thanx
