Thedoctorjodiestarted grow question 6 years ago
So, the top half of my plant is about a week from harvest. The bottom half has started to look nicer as I've lost some of the highest fan leaves.
Is it possible to cut off just the top half of the plant and let the lower portions continue to grow? Or is the shock too much?

hey Dr.Jodie, so you can get actually much better results harvesting in stages. Whenever the first half is ready, chop it down and keep the bottom half going another week or two. it looks riddiculous but works a charm! in fact, when you chop the first half the plant will think it's under attack and actually produce more trichomes and more terpenes on the remaining half. That means stronger, better tasting bud ! what's not to like ? hope this helps ! 🚀

It's normal for the heavily light saturated areas to appear done sooner and there are many partial harvest methods, whether the top is finished first or the sides and the the center needs maturing. I think you're safe to do it in phases, but you'll want to protect the areas that have been cut so that the openings don't get diseased or debris etc in them. Whether you seal up the cuts or place tape over them,I think its smart to at least do something to the cut branches.
Happy harvesting, the buds are looking beautiful. ✌️

Many growers do just that, harvest in stages. You harvest the part that's ready and give the rest another week or two.

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic hereIs it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

Clean them up or leave them aloneI’m having trouble deciding if I should just let these girls keep going how I have been because they are absolutely amazing or should I do a big clean up and the canopy and lower canopy to allow some more light to penetrate for some fuller nugs?

Defoliar o no defoliarTengo 2 automáticas a las que he aplicado LST, y ahora hay muchas hojas juntas tapándose las unas a las otras. Cultivo en exterior con luz artificial adicional (17h de luz en total) y es la semana 7 . Creo que es mejor no defoliar las auto, pero viendo esto ya no estoy seguro.

Should I defoliate during flowering outdoors?(Autoflower) Should I defoliate? I made the rookie mistake of doing NO defoliating or lst during vegging, cuz they were skinny then. Did minor defol during flowering.It’s in full flower with 2-3 weeks left and we have about 7 straight days of rain. Worried about wpm and bud rot.

Too much foliage? Not too sure.Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!
