Hello Everybody!

This post is in regards to harvesting the same plant in stages.

I have a friend with more knowledge than myself when it comes to growing, and he tells me that a plant doesn’t (normally) ripen all at once. What he does is to harvest the cola and other top buds that are exposed to the most light and which ripen fastest – thus allowing the smaller buds to ‘see the light’ and develop a little further, harvesting them a week or two later. I’ve tried this once so far, and it seemed to work, I think…

Does anyone else employ this method?

If you do, how do you go about it?

Do you keep flushing after the first harvest or do you give them a little bit of nutes?

Do you use a chemical flush and if you do – how long can you use a chemical flush and still keep the plant alive and growing? I feel like I may be wasting my time with the second harvest (of the same plant) if the chemical flush (final phase) is preventing the plants buds from developing any further (because of the fact that it is flushing the nutes out of the plant).

Do people think/know whether this method either increases the yield per plant, or allows the popcorn buds to gain further potency?

Thanks

I agree with your friend, this is the way I harvest also.

I just give them water, but you could add some molasses if you felt the need
