OMG I CANT WAIT THAT LONG. But thanks. Hopefully its 60 days rather then 70. Well I think some are going to be done before others. So I would be happy if one of the girls were done by 60. I read something where somebody said you can harvest just the top of the plant then leave the bottom branches in the light a few extra days and they grow bigger cause ther are getting direct light. Is this true or is this some BS to get my crop messed up.

I've found that tric development is pretty uniform across a plant so when the tops are ready, so are the bottoms. Chopping the top first and then the bottom certainly wont hurt your yields and may give you a few extra grams from those lower flowers. If you have the time and space, give it a try. If you try this, I wouldn't wait more than a week between the time you chop the top and the time you chop the bottom.

okay sounds like a plan home. +rep One more question. Is it okay for me to still trim some of the foliage today. I went and saw a lot of dead lower branches and I dont want the plants to give those branches energy when they could be producing nice buds on the tops.

Lower branches not getting direct light tend to yield light and airy flowers. It's a personal call but I try to do all my trimming of lower branches as soon as the plant goes into flower. If you think that some lower branches are hurting your plant, go ahead and take a few off.

thanks home you have been very helpful. I guess i'm just going to let nature take its course. I dont want to do anything to harm the plants. Ill just pull off the ones which are already dead.

Just fed the girls. That back one is real sick but she is still producing nice buds so I guess thats what counts. I also saw something similar on another plant but it was very slight.It appears to be somesort of deficiancy with a nute burn. Anyway I flushed the girls out today so hopefully they willlike that. I also saw my first two amber pistils on my most maturest one so thats wonderfyll.

Youngstud: Here is some blunt advice, take it or leave it. From reading through your journal, I believe you suffer from the classic "over-attention" disorder. You got to leave them be and just let them grow. You are over thinking it bigtime. Chill out, relax, dont tell anyone, you probably shouldnt even be posting pics unless your legal as well.

Thanks for caring home. SO I decided Id call in one of my friends who is a pro grower and he just fixed the situation. Turns out it was heat stress with nute burn the only this was that one plant got completely burnt because the vent wasnt heat reflective considerate so the light was reflecting off of it too strongly. Hence the plants closet to the ventilation were getting light which is equivalent to a mirror reflecting on the leaves. SO he had me lift up the light and turn all of the burnt plants around. THANK GOD. I thought my crop was dead luckily I was able to fix this. Hopefully this will be a learning experience for someone dealing with the same problem.Thanks for caring boys.
