What Happens if?

[Amsterdam Bound]

What happens if you just pick the buds off at harvest time and dry them out...does that work? can the plant still continue to grow or does it all get buggered up?


First grow so pardon the stupid question?

Sensi Skunk, seend bought from the shop in Amsterdam..

Had to dispose of two male plants from the batch and have six girls left...semm to be growing ok..

Pics attached if you'd like a look...comments and suggestions welcome...some dodgy tips in the pics cause I went a bit mad with the Miracle grow!!!!

Your plants are lookin good, nice and healthy. If you cut off the individual buds its gonna make it awkward to dry, cut off hole branches and hang them upsidedown in a well ventilated area to dry, check for mold regularly. I have heard a lot of people say you can continue to grow your plants after the harvest but have never tryed it myself. What you should do is leave the big fan leaves on when you cut the branches off and switch back to 18/6. Be carefull not to overwater the plants after you do this because you have a hole root system supporting a now much smaller plant. Let us know how it goes.

thanks for the info......flowering nicely now...how long is the average flowering time to harvest?

Alot of the THC is stored actually, in the stems. the entire point of harvest is to harvest with the stems attached.. over a few days the THC is absorbed into the buds as the water content lowers.

Always good to keep the buds on the branches after you harvest for at least 2-3 days.

as for continued flowering? it's more than possible.. infact, i've done it. all i've done is simply cut back the main harvest.. leaving the small under developed flowers and buds.. for an additional 3-4 weeks
