What say ye? Lollipop Harvesting

Some of the lower buds are maturing faster than the main cola. Im considering a little lollipop harvesting, taking off some mature buds on the lower end. In prep for harvest, i’ve started some defoliation too.

Some of the more marture lower buds.

I agree with what @StonedCold13 has said! You still have a lot of white pistils and that signifies new growth. I would say give her a week or 2 and check again. Once those pistils are sucked up by the swelling calyxes they will turn dark then I would start checking those trichs. The trichomes will tell you when she is ready! Plant looks great though, she will keep swelling and stacking bud as long as she has white pistils so chopping some of the buds now will stop them from getting bigger imo, bigger buds is always better :grin:

You could start removing leaves but agree that you could let her mature more.

I agree with the responses above. If anything, harvest in stages. Take the top flowers when they’re ready then let the lower ones go longer once exposed to more light

This is the most unusual plant I’ve grown. She has not been topped. I trimmed off the bottom two nodes much earlier, but all the remaining nodes have grown to the same height. I started growing with HO Florescent fixtures and you wanted those as close to the plant as possible. So, I’ve kind of carried that over to LEDs, as you can see, I have the outside edge of the light lowered to better light the nodes. Maybe that is why the lower buds are maturing faster.?

Looks like foxtails forming, that’s probably the reason for white pistols, but I don’t see any older ones at all, kinda different.:+1::love_you_gesture:

Is this what you were talking about foxtailing? Or is this nanners?

Correct. No nanners that I can see.

Autos do it a lot, photos will if lights too intense near end of flower. Back off lights a bit , they will finish.
