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.

Check out the ladies Let's see how my girls are looking this morning. Thinking about giving the 2 bigger girls a defoliation today I figure that it can only help me to be sure that all the spider 🕷️ mites are gone!!! Keep your fingers crossed for me. Well here's to day #54 woo-hoo!!! Have a great day

SEEDS FOUND DURING TRIMMING While cleaning the buds I found seeds(in all 4 cultivated plants). Not in all buds I have seen them. I have always checked carefully but have never seen clear male flowers or banana-like things. What may have happened? Thanks.

Slow trichome production I was worried about my trichome production thought that I should have been farther along than I was. I bought advanced nutrients overdrive to see if that would help them out and man two days after feeding them they exploded very impressed with the overdrive!!

Seeds everywhere, unsure if this is a result of impregnation from a hermie I had weeks ago that I may have touched and spread pollen unknowingly or stress?I have 2 GDPs from ILGM that now have seeds. One much more than the other but certainly seeds. My question is can these buds still be used for rosin/edibles? or even smoked? And can these seeds potentially be feminized as they may have been stress induced? Or assume bad and toss?

Day 46 from sprout, 22 days from first pistil hairs. Any thoughts on how they look or possible yeild? I have no grows to compare too
