Our Continuous Harvest...more bud every 10 days!

[harris7]

Perp is completely correct...

LATERAL BRANCHES GROW IN DIRECT CORRELATION TO FAN LEAVES! BY REMOVING A FAN LEAF, YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH DISABLE THE GROWTH OF THE EXISTING LATERAL BRANCH...

correlation isnâ??t causation.

I remove fan leafs all the time and the axial growth from the node continues fine.

Hey, guys. Wanted to see how the continuous harvest is going. Any new harvest pics?! I'm patiently waiting.

Hope they come soon!

We chopped and hung a plant Friday night, so manicure pics will be coming soon! We actually smoked some quick-dried (i take little popcorn buds off the stems when we chop the plant, and put them above my fridge where it's warm and they take about 2 days to dry) bud from Dutch Treat last night, and it was very smooth. It has a strange smell, different from our other dutch treats, but the taste was unaffected. The high was really awesome too, and when combined with The Hog...giggly goodness. lol.

Will post some pics today of the hanging buds and flowering plants, to quench y'alls bud-thirst!!! lol :rasta:

The moment has arrived!! Im just gonna start manicuring Dutch Treat, so stay tuned!

Well here are some photoâ??s of the newly chopped Dutch. This plant seems more potent than any of the others from the density of trichomes and how fast our trimming scissors got stuck.

We have the ritual of smoking the first bud trimmed and it was quite nice. Weâ??ll see how it is after a nice long cure.

Now we need to talk about a little problem called LYD. Low yield disorder has been affecting the last 5 plants Hereâ??s what we got:

C-1
Yield = 14.9g
C-2
Yield = about 1.8 oz
DT-1
Yield = 20.1g
DT-2
Yield = About an oz
Hog (H-1)
Yield = 14.8g
DT-3 (this plant)
Yield=22 g

One explanation is that the huge amount of stress these plants went through during Veg and flowering, stunted their growth rate.

To test this hypothesis we must wait, one more plant (Mud bud) went through such stresses. She should be chopped in a few days from then on the plants had a very happy life.

I guess that is a bit low. Nice looking plants in any case though... can't wait to see the ones that are LYD-free! :rastasmoke:

i am disappointed with our yields, but at the same time our weed is soooo potent that I really can't complain too much. For all I know, the buds have 'concentrated' themselves and have increased potency as a result. lol. We vaporized our weed last night, and it tasted soooo good. Apart from an awesome high using a Volcano provides, it's really nice to actually taste the weed...instead of resin from a bong.

i just watered the kids, and let me tell you, some of them smell amazing! one of our next champagnes smells so dank, i couldn't believe my nose. seriously. lol. I wish we could all get together and try each others' weed...if only there were "smelly-net"

ps: Mud Bud is the next plant to be chopped down...(we haven't harvested a Mud yet so it will be a new experience)

very interesting! it's good to know that there is an actual science to removing fan leaves-smaller branches/buds. (i was gonna give u some rep for that but i can't apparently)

Have any of you heard about pinching buds to make them grow larger? The logic behind this is if you pinch the bud, the plant will feel like it's being damaged and kind of grow an extra bud in it's place. By pinching, I think my friend meant squeezing the stem near the bud so the plant thinks it's been severed. Anyone?

i have thought of that before, i expect the plant would bleed to death though, or bleed enough to hermie...

i was thinking... if every lateral branch minus the top 4 were removed... would it focus all energy on the main cola..? maybe not.. i guess the leaves at the top can only take in a certain amount of light... what if every lateral branch (other than the main cola) were to be removed, but all fan leaves where left on... would the plant produce a boulder of a top cola??? i wonder if anyone has looked into this?!? maybe someone has some useful notes floating around?

hey, dutch lover... next time you harvest HOG, could you post a pic?

thnx 4 ur time...

correlation isn’t causation.

I remove fan leafs all the time and the axial growth from the node continues fine.

ahh yeh, i see what you mean, what i said was you CAN disable the growth of a lateral branch, - if it hasnt got enough leaves to support itself..

obviously, if a branch is well developed, loosing its fan leaf wont matter..

[dutch.lover]

I will totally post a pic of Hog next time it's harvested...it will be awhile unfortunately, I think at least a month. We have a lot of champagne coming up tho. I know that's what you were growing, and I laughed when I read you said it smelled like bananas...but then our last plant smelt really weird when it was drying, so then I realized smelling like bananas wasn't so strange after all, lol.
