What are the downsides to harvesting too early?
GrowBossstarted grow question 6y ago
What are the downsides to harvesting too early? My trichomes were turning amber at week 7 so I harvested. Buds seem great, but without a proper dry and cure it is hard to say. I have sampled the bud which is almost fully dry and I like it already.. But what are the potential cons

Yield, taste, and potency. Harvesting time also has a lot to do with the kind of effect you get. The one hit knockout stuff is 50-70% amber trichomes. The "I'm gonna clean the whole house" effect comes in between 10-20%. I don't believe curing with change your potency, but it will make it taste better.

Potency... Terpenes flavor.. All are lower in an early plant.. did you see amber on just the sugar leaves or on the colas?

I've raised this plant with no training or pruning and she's growing like a champ. My question is is it too late or non beneficial to do any pruning at this stage. Also keep in mind I would not know what I'm doing aside from research and videos. Just don't want to harm her at allWeek 11

defogliazione e lollippopinnghey, I’d like a couple of your opinions regarding defoliation + lollipopping. I’ve reached the point where I need to defoliate my jungle, but I’m afraid of messing up. I can already do lollipopping, but defoliation remains a mystery.
