Harvesting Tops before shaded area

ccdd420started grow question 6y ago

I have a lot of shading below my top layer and was thinking of harvesting the top and then lowering the light and letting the rest finish until hairs are more developed any ready? Any advice on how to do this best?

You've got the right idea! Lots of growers will cut their plant halfway down the stock and let the bottom half finish off 1-3 weeks later. Really works well with bushy outdoor plants too.

Ready to harvest?Should I harvest now based on these pics? Close up is from the top of a cola closest to the light. I see the amber, but I can’t figure out if the rest are cloudy or clear. Some of the pistils are still looking fresh so I think it needs more time.

Should I put harvest into jars early?Should I put my harvest into jars insted of hanging? I harvested 2 days ago and my humidity right now is between 60-70% with fan and dehumidifier. I wonder if the buds would be better in jars with 50% humidity packet. I'm afraid they will mold hanging in the house. Rain all wk.

How do you harvest in hydro (drip system with a tank) when some are late ?Half of the plants are late (chlorosis, iron toxicity, nitrogen overfd) on a scrog net. As individual flush is impossible, I guess I have no choice than having different batches of ambered trichomes ! And I thought about different strains next time, sweet dreams...
