    Stage #2 update:

    Trichomes are cloudy with little clear and no amber- the hairs have darkened - so I will continue feeding with no N and at 1/2 strength until amber trichomes- then plain water only.

    The buds are not dense and not larfy, but it looks like I have time (est 10 days) for fattening up and perhaps more growth, too.

    Harvest -stage one: remove 8 cola's.
    Plenty of green fans left as I usually leave a lower "skirt" when defoliating.

    LST the canopy even, then back in the tent to finish.
    Continue water only until ambers appear- hopefully after gaining some weight.

    UPDATE: getting "wicked" close:
    The upper leaves are yellowing a bit and the lower bush still has some green to carry it- still a good candidate for a staged harvest- trichomes will guide the story!

    It has a ways to go- no dark/curled hairs!

    Update: adding weight like crazy- noticed 1 amber- yup just one, lol
    Fading nicely- with only 2 fans completely depleted- so far.

    Timeline taking 10-12" cola's in 7-14 days, leaving the lower canopy height for the second stage harvest in 14-21 days. <- best guess

    started a topic "Staged Harvest" candidate in the wings?

    "Staged Harvest" candidate in the wings?

    Thought I would document, a staged harvest, as we often get questions on the forum.

    This is by no means a guide, but a walk through of the process I use.

    The difference in height was the tip off a staged harvest may be worth doing.
    The Lemon OG Haze (smallest in the tent) on the left measures only 13" plant- while the Alien v Triangle on the right measures 28" (plant).

    The LED's I use penetrate about a foot down a plant and I was surpised that the lower portion of the AvT developed buds.
    The plant had been lolipoped, but no defoliation:
    In week 4 of flower, it was obvious the plant would not mature well below 12" down.

    With staged harvest in mind- I defoliated in wk#5 (below) keeping in mind, the upper portion may be mature much sooner than lower-bush.

    I left a rather large amount of lower fan leaves and hoepful there will be some remaining- after the first stage is harvested.

    Nutrients are a little tricky, low enough to harvest yet high enough for the second stage to continue growing a few more weeks.
    I have nothing else going into the tent until January- so no rush

    Time to wait and see- how this ripens over the next few weeks and if a staged harvest will be worth while.
