Is it best to harvest her all at once or can I stretch it out over time? I'm growing in a space bucket and have strong trichome development on the top vs. the lower sites. I'd hate for the main cola to go completely amber which is very likely over the next two days. Thanks!

Hey bro ! Méphisto recommends in that situation to cut the fully mature parts and let the other lower buds keep growing 👍...don(t forget to cauterize the cut parts dude ! hope this helps even for the future 👊 Namasté 🙏

I would stretch it out if you have time time and just harvest colas before trichome over rippen and turns to couch lock and let the under growth rippen.

Leaf density, defoliation, nutes, genetics, just healthy?My plants are very leafy compared to most I see. how can I expect bud production to unfold? Currently I move clusters away from each other. I twist off a leaf or two here and there to allow for light penetration. Is this my genetics? nutrient set? just really healthy?
