"Staged Harvest" candidate in the wings?

[Weed Pharma]

I cut the branches off, right at the new canopy height.

Nice work mate👍quick question, when u do your first harvest and remove the big colas, do u remove the whole branch or just snip off the buds?

[Weed Pharma]

Looks like an ounce or more from what would have been very little in the trim pile.

The plant is ready for harvest and has grown some great buds- they were all popcorn buds 2 weeks ago, as the second stage started!



I'll post a pic of the trimmed buds - prepared for drying.

That's a good idea, gonna have to start adopting that one. And you have some nice big yummy fan leaves for her to, if she needs them, even if they don't get much light, they serve a very good purpose!

I routinely leave a small skirt on all plants.
Any remaining lower leaves, act as a visual clue to the plants health and often gives the first sign if somethings just not right.

Nice work Weed farm.

9 Days and counting!
She's back to drinking again- (& growing): Trichomes the same.



staying nice and green- still faded, but not getting anymore yellowing- shake leaves are fine.

Great looking buds, both harvested and ripening!
I'm a big fan of harvesting in stages, and usually get quite a bit of additional weight on those lower buds when I let them ripen some more, always seems worth it.
Like the whole making a plan you have going on, good ideas on how to harvest in stages, better. Will have to start experimenting with leaving a skirt of fan leaves like you do.

Anyway, great thread, and thanks for posting it for us!!

Update: 7 more days of bud growth and they are getting much larger and begining to fill out- drinking has slowed by about 1/3.
The trichomes are cloudy and have begun to topple-
I should have more time, as long as, shake leaves don't yellow!

The 300w draws 128w- the 240w draws 105w and the 480w draws 205w.
Be mindful that the fans and drivers use some of that wattage,too so it's not available for the plant.

[Juicyj89]

So is that a true 300w??

[Weed Pharma]

I’m growing with Marshydro LEDs @300 w, and 2 reflectors @240 & 480- currently it’s under the MarsHydro reflector48, 240w.

Oh wow you really lollipop those thing don't you? Can i ask what light you have and how much longer she has to go?

Scratch that @weedpharma, im slow lol i just realized thats the same plant you took the tops from. Freakin outstanding. I feel like what you have left if that plant is still more than my whole plant! Haha but again, fantastic job. And can i still know you light please? Thanks!

Decided to trim it out a bit - it had many yellowed fan leaves- shake leaves are still fine and the plant looks great and drinking well.
Since I am feeding again- I didn't feel the need to keep the bush.
