Staggered Harvest: Backed by Science, Proven by Growers.

Some growers are not here to learn and grow. Some are just here to be right no matter.

If you lollipop the plant after the stretch so that only 2–3 smaller colas remain, then you save yourself: 1. Time 2. Stress about mold risk 3. A longer ripening period for the plant. You can do a staggered harvest, but if you're flushing at the end, you shouldn't give the plant any more nutrients after cutting off the main colas. Just continue with plain water. The remaining buds will only get slightly bigger, and might even be more likely to start herming. I would do it if the trichomes on the lower buds aren’t ripe yet — but honestly, since you're spending extra time just to harvest the bottom half of the plant, which could’ve been avoided in the first place, it doesn’t really make sense to me. Economically speaking, it's not worth it.

If you really need to squeeze out every ounce of Bud from the plant, that might be an option, sure...but any semi decent grow will give you that anyway. Good training/mainlining shouldn't leave you with larf. Like that would have no point trying on a decent Scrog for example. Imo Also, considering, I have now multiple buds of the same plant in different stages of drying/curing. Might just try for Terp. Claims, but kinda wouldn't bother otherwise to be honest.

Do not care what "evidence" you provide...........have tried it many times over the last 40 years and in my experience, it just does not provide the results you are claiming. You can not remove half a plant and expect the other half to continue on in prime health as though nothing ever happened. I do not take advice from you tube or AI bullshit, I learn everything through repeated, real world, personal experiments.

Hi, habe ich am Anfang auch gemacht, gestaffelt geerntet. Bei mir war es am Ende aber so das ich zeitlich bedingt da. Auf einmal ernten gewechselt habe. Wenn diese aber jetzt zu gross ist wie bei der Membrana werde ich wieder in Schritten ernten, bei der letzten im indoor waren wir 6 Stunden am trimmen und das war mir zu viel. Nachteile sehe ich dadurch nicht und habe auch noch nie den Fall gehabt das sie sich dadurch gestresst haben, da der Abstand zwischen den ernten Tage ja eh sehr gering ist maximal 10 Tage, habe ich Kir da Zeit gelassen. Und die unteren Buds waren dann schon reifer als bei der normalen ernte. Bei kleinen Pflanzen denkenich das es sich aber nicht so wirklich lohnt. Und da ich eh meisten mit LST arbeite kommt viel Licht nach unten an. Bin aber gespannt auf die verschiedenen Meinungen hier im forum.

First simple search on google vs Dr B B statment about 48 hours ( with witch i agree ) vs your other link platform, i choosen my old nemesis RQS https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-the-importance-of-the-dark-cycle-in-cannabis-cultivation-n906 https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/content/46-the-blooming-phase Both have 48 hours as recommendations. I dont trust internet , you have to search for most recent research back be science and economy in real life later ... As any grower , we just must try even stupid ideas, i did it, gave you many arguments why its not a GOOD idea to part harvest ... your provided sources print whatever they want, think i proved it, scroll to harvest period in those two articles and check Dr B B statment you posted.

We could continue talked privetly, but you some certain vegetable 4sure.... what for to put it here ??? You give facts, but select what to see, i could find tens of articles on all those formus/pages reprinting same story all around, never debunking or deleting it when new studies brake that "bro science " I told you , i get max 10% extra from plant which i pushed almost 3 weeks extra vs not pushed plant. You statment SAYS they got 20-30 from larf as extra to main colas weight, not as such increase and popcorn bud weights when you do harvest in one. NONE commercial entity does it . Economy selects your actions, there you cant selectively choose facts which you like, otherwise you go bankrupt. And still, you post so much about Dr B B, but can't back up part harvest, he never talked about it ( at least i haven't heard, as privately mentioned, ill rewatch it today).

For a single grow, I get this. But if you block your growspace for two more weeks for ripening lower buds, you have to start your next plant 2 weeks later. And with that in my mind, I would think twice if I would spend the extra time and energy in perfect lower buds.

Very true my bro! some keep getting new white pistels bc the light is too bright (ur lamp is too close).. lower buds can harvest later.... just harvest when buds are solid, trichomes have the taste u want..and plant 'says'it time 2 go 👊!! UH.. what was ur Q exactly 😁??

as a commercial grower and processor of cannabis, sure, I could see how this could work out well, they have the space, time and man power to be doing that. As a hobbyist grower meh. KISS, chop and hang to dry the whole plant.
