1st grow stage harvesting

My 1st grow , giving stage harvesting a whirl as I didn’t do any lst and the middle/bottom buds haven’t fully developed. I know wet weight doesn’t matter but I was curious so I weighed anyways. 350g wet on first harvest

The white pistils are from light stress as she was touching the light. 5-10% amber trichomes confirmed

I would defoliate it some. The second stage doesnt gain a lot of weight but really ripens well. Its a common harvest style for the way i grow.

Yeah ima definitely defoliate , I don’t expect too much more but ima juice it for every single little gram I can after how long I waited lmao. Should I continue feeding nutrients ?

Yes but remember half the plant all the roots. Less is more to finish the bottom. 2 weeks typically to ripen for me. Can drop the light and cut some power also.

Np at all. I usually grow straight up. Tops always beat lowers. Just a suggestion, dont over trim the buds for pretty. The sugar leaves naturally break off in cure and make great edible or pipe weed.

Do you feel the picture I included is overly trimmed ? I had my wife trim fan leaves but she could have gone a little crazy :joy:

Actually too bushy for me. I like fans but keep a cleaner interior. You can take all the leaves inside. Leave a nice spread at canopy to take in light. Probably need no feed for a week if fed right before harvest. Then a half feed and call it. Letem ripen to your liking. They are done for all intents and purposes now.

Sorry should have clarified , I meant the actual bud that I harvested. The bud pictured was after removing fan leaves and then I’ll dry trim

Oh that is a choice. I only finger pull the fans. Scissors never hit my flower. Whether I hang or use my wedryer. Just me.

Man once dry the sugar leaves will break off in cure. Loaded with trichs. Dont really need to trim the flowers unless looking for pretty

Bet , I’m definitely gonna make some edibles once I have a working oven lol. I’m assuming the leaves can just stay curing with the bud till I’m ready ?

Not fans. That bud you showed dries for me like that. Goes into cure like that. Comes out looking like was trimmed and rock hard.

I grow a shitton of weed though. Streamlined it.

Good advice about the sugar leaves. I always leave them on since my personal use is all edibles. The stuff I give away, well, it’s free so I figure anybody who doesn’t like sugar leaves can trim them off!
