i spent about a month harvesting by layer. top parts ripening sooner. also small spurts of trimming duty. harvesting at once is 15 hours straight trimming work. 10 days hung to dry. 30 days in a jar. I haven't weighed the product nor tasted it. Im hoping i can edit this post after a weigh in
@BarrieGrower, thanks. you have fun with yours. HST is more of a stativa that's grown to 4 feet and snapped over a net. In week 7 and 8 i'm snapping the colas that are too close to lights.
@fogcitymarathoner, I hear you, been there done that. My LST is like S&M, haha. Its all good, I am just enjoying the process and having fun. Everything else is gravy.
Cheers!
@BarrieGrower, I wanted 8 weeks of veg in these pots. Week 3 I had to start 3 feminized to compensate for my 3 out of 8 success rate with regular seeds. That resulted in the final pot at week 5.
I'm claiming I'm practicing HST because for a good 10 weeks I defoliate almost half the fan leaves. At week 10 veg I had to remove 30-40% of the mainlined branches. Some branches close to the light are snapped into a '7' shape and taped. I'm getting a head start trimming the buds while the plant is alive.
Looking good ... Just got done harvesting a Northern Lights Auto & a AK-49 Auto myself. I wish you the same success.Good luck with the rest of your grow
@Mr_Weeds_Autos, I just started a July - October outdoor Northern Late. (?) latte(?)
My harvest looks good. I'm holding out for a complete weigh in after a 40 day cure.
