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

[TheGreenFog]

I just sort of made my own test to see if I take the leaf off or not. I tug on a really yellow leaf (usually crisping up) it and if it comes right off then it's ready to come off. If it resists then I leave it on.

Yep, that's the way to do it.

One idea i had was:
since removing the fan leafs gives light to the buds (IMO not a big deal)
but also stresses the plant and causes a self defense reaction

the plant thinks it is being eaten, so what does it do. Swell up with resin to scare off the bugs

so an idea would be to allow your plant to finish normally, then b4 you give the plant 24-36 hours darkness cut off all the fan leafs.

Thoughts?

Well, it probably wouldn't hurt, but I doubt it will help. At that point, the plant is finishing up, and like you said, there is no light, so why take off the leaves? Not to get more light to the buds, right...cuz there is none...

And even though the leaves would not be receiving light, therefore, not undergoing photosynthesis, they would still have nutrients stored in them (unless they are yellow by now), so they would still be able to feed the bud with food while it's dark...

Just a thought, fragmented as it may be. :jointsmile:

Canuck, if you try it, let us know how it goes. We'll try to remind ya. :thumbsup:

Hey all, I thought it was time to start a new log, this one will be focused on our flowering plants. As you all should know, Harris7 and I grow together.:greenthumb: This is a place where you can come for lots of bud pics, along with (hopefully) lots of debates and info on various harvesting/curing/trimming methods- from 24hrs darkness b4 harvest, to cutting off fan leaves. We have now entered into our continous harvest faze, we will be harvesting a new plant about every 10 days. Rating: 5
