Harvest main colas first?

Hi ho! I am getting close to harvest. Probably a week away or so. On each plant there are about three or four Spears that will mature first. Do any of you harvest those who first and then wait for the lower buds to mature for an extra few days or a week?

hey there, yeah for sure, with so few plants you really just want the most out of it, and this way is the only way to really assure that.... cure and dry everything except the fan leafs then make sure you have what you need to make hash, even the smallest trim can be used, and it's a great thing to get your own bubble hash really. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hi there, for me it depends on how much they are behind and how big they are, whether i first top the bigger colas or not. If they don't seem to be far behind, or aren't very big, then i just cut the whole plant, but if they're rather substantial in size, and still need a week, then the main ones will come off first. happy growing.. or in this case harvesting! :)

Hey :-) Look with a microscope 👌If the trichome heads are about 70% milky and 30% clear, you can start with the flush. If the trichomes are about 70% milky and 30% amber, it is a very good time to harvest 👍🙏🏻 but do not pay attention to the leaves of the trichomes on the buds 👍
