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 ! š

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. āļø

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

Hope your all well
If I'm to do defoliation in the 3rd week of flower but my plants didn't grow at all in the first week due to cold temps, do I still do the defoliation in the 3rd week or leave it till the 4th week?
Any advice will be much appreciated

ScrOG / Lollipopping / DefoliationI'm thinking of going for ScrOG for the blooming (which is just starting) āĀ maybe even lollipopping or defoliation.
I would love to get some feedback!

LST or defoliation on autosI think I will need to defoliate a bit those bushy ladies, but I am not so confident about that because, from what I've read and since it's my first time growing autos, defoliation or lst is not advisable because it may stress them a looooot or am I wrong?4 years ago

DefolationHey all can anyone tell me when to defolate my GSC she's now 41 Days from germination.
She had thrips started at week 2-3 that's why she stressed a bit and bloom later. Preflower started 2-3 days ago, and now I don't know about the stress again or should I wait 1-2 Weeks more?

Defoliation - AutoHey guys,
What do you think about defoliation? Iām growing two autos in one of my tents and they got huge. I wasnāt expecting. They are producing some buds in their lower parts and by consequence of the lack of light they are too small.
