I harvested 3 gals 2 months back for a week. I let each bud mature individually, took me about a week, 200g of prefectly matured bud. The last 3-4 days, all the lower buds got bathed in light, and matured nicely too, though they didn't grow much bigger, they did seem to get more compact from that.
Theres even a theory that if the plant hermies the last week, it will increase weight. The buds do swell up with immature seeds, and fill them out, but it probably doesn't do much for the quality.

A week from harvest, but not all of the plant is ready - inside So this is my first grow.. its white widow in an aeroponic setup under a 400W MH/HPS I'm in the 8th week of flowering (wednesday will be 8 weeks) i was planning on harvesting saturday, as the top buds look ready.. I'm seeing some cloudy trichs (no amber yet). However, the bottom of the plant has several buds which are nowhere near ready (plant is probably 4-5 feet tall). What is the best way to harvest so everything is at its peak? I wanted to cut the top buds and branches off so light Rating: 5
