Harvesting / trimming

J_N_Zstarted grow question 3 years ago

Hey I am now in the last two weeks of my first grow. So far everything has gone well and the buds are looking very good, but now my question is, should I harvest the best ones and then trim them to keep them looking good afterwards?

Best to cut the whole plant down when it’s ready don’t mess with it till it’s ready

I would cut whole plant at once. Depending on Growing substrate you may desire flush time prior.

Best to take the entire plant IMO. After cutting main branches she goes into shock and takes time to recover.

TPS notes.Ok. So, I'm trying to grow as "organic" as I can. That said, I'd like to "boost" with commercially available products. I have been looking at TPS and am wondering about it. Heard of the end result looking like PGR. Any thoughts?

Homegrown Purple haze has no effect Anyone knows why My purple haze I grew has no effect when smoking it, you feel a little lighter and a bit happier but there is no trip at all. I used some pure sativa's before and they were not like this. Why is my bud like this maybe the terpenes? my previous plants didn't have this problem.

Bract/calyx turning brown Hey fellow growmies, i noticed brown bract/calyxes on one of my plants. (week 12, auto, 20 % amber) Iwasnt't worried until I found them inside of some buds while checking for budrot. Should I be concernend (cut the buds), or is this just the circle of the plant life or genetics?

First time grower in Germany, and about 2 weeks away from first harvest. Can anyone distinguish if these are sacs or calyxes? It was a very wet and cold summer in Northern DE, especially in May going into June so I would not doubt if it was overstressed.

Too many colas? (Serious)I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough space

Edible out of fresh harvest Hi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?
