How to cut?

[Parcero]

Ave!

The Rent is getting ready and the friend of mine to whom I'm growing it wants it to be harvested in different stages. He cant handle almost any smoke so some of this one needs to be cut some now and some later.
Which part should I start? Take now the main cola or some lower side branches?

Thank you!

Is it ready? What do the trichs look like?

plants are always maturer on top. so take the top part of the plant and leave the lower to mature. Peace

Ok, thanks.
No, it´s not quite ready yet but he wants to take some of it anyways, you know a bit more mild...
I would not and I might just leave it alone.

i see people do this, but it's always been my experience that the top bud is usually the last to fully mature.

Ok, thanks man, but you check which budsites are cloudy and take them or you start from mail cola and ripen more the lower ones?

The Rent, only water, as reguested. I've put used tea leaves and coffee on top thats all. It's skinny and small compared to the others but still over 700mm. Main -bud- is small , but has over twenty budsites. Might give an ounce and I´ll be really interested to compare the taste to the others.

i'm sorry, but maybe i'm not understanding correctly. how are plants more mature on top? isnt the top where all the new growth comes from?

I dont think te plant matures diffrent..what Im saying is I take the plant at top when the trichs are just starting to cloud..for a more ody high..and then this allows the light to get to bottom half and the trichs then are mutureing to cloudy...then to amber..get a scope if ya aint got one....


parcero.....Very Nice my friend..well done...what are the trichs at on that Lovely Ladie?


:48:

Your instinct is right on...I wouldn't chop those either...just tell your

lightweight friend to smoke less at one time


naw mean?

That is interesting! What strains do you see this happening to? I find the tops done first on all my girls.

 

[legalize_freedom]

I have seen different varieties mature at differnt areas. For the most part though they seem to mature at the top first. However, my Afghani #1 the lower buds were always done before the top for some reason, always...and I grew this strain for over 10 yrs.

im noticing also, that my lower buds are maturing, or getting the crystals first, then the top ones.

I agree.. The buds are so densely packed, that they will take longer to mature at the top.. I usually harvest the whole plant at once.. I use GHE Ripen for the last week, and the smoke is usually almost the same whether you take pop corn buds or buds from the top cola.

The Rent seems to mature very slowly, evenly all over the plant same. Shes still standing, maybe this morning... Day 74.
I did chop the main off a week a ago or so leaving the rest to grow.
