Quick question, is it better to harvest a plant 1 section at a time, or wait and do it all at once. I know that typically (at least what I have read) that the bottom buds mature faster than the top so is it best to harvest those then get the main cola later when it's more mature or just wait it out and cut the whole thing at once?

I'm new here. Thanks for the welcome.

Is there anyone else here that was around in Vancouver BC back in the 60s-70s-80s?

I'm interested in tracking down the first hydroponic strains that were around back in 1981-82. Thanks.

You know I recently heard the lowers ripen first but have never even sort of seen that. My colas ripen and harden first.

Here are a few things to think about.
If Possible i like to harvest twice.
Take the tops then give another week or so for the lower.

But if you are drying in your grow room the light, fans n heat are gonna make it very hard to dry correctly.

If that is the case consider drying elsewhere. Build a box, closet, tent
Etc...

I grow in a scrog right now so I take it all at once and dry right in the room.

I also stopped flowering multi strains
In the same room for this reason as well as uniformity.

Hope this helps

Typically it is seeds or clones that have been vegged a very short time then flowered. This keeps them small enough you can cram a shitload of them under the light.

Hi Widow.
Total newb here.
Just a question. I've got a cupboard, I'm trying to set it up as a grow cupboard. The dimensions are 110cm x 50cm x 140cm (D x W x H)
Can I use LED lamps bought from the hardware store?
See pics below.
I've got 2700K and 4000K lights. 5 of each. 10 in total.
I'm thinking of growing 4 plants.
See pics below.
Thanks for any advice or tips.

Hi RIU.
Just a follow up on my cab grow.
See pics of lights below MacGuyver'ed onto a piece of wood.
The second pic looks like it has lines on it. That's just from my phone camera shutter speed being similar to the lights' frequency.
Looking forward to these babes sticking their heads out.
I know I'll need some extraction in there soon.
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Peace ✌

I find it’s top down...but I say harvest no bud until it’s done. Work your way from top down - if ur trimming on ur own it may take multiple days which is fine... I’ve taken as long as a month to work my way down through one- the lower stuff that wudda been in hash pile if taken all at once were as solid as the tops or damned aweful close... slow n steady usually wins the race when it comes to growing...

in soil you want to be centered around 6.5. actually, unless you have radically high or low water ph, most of the time you don't have to worry about ph'ing for soil. it will buffer itself.
as far as run off ph, don't worry about it. this isn't hydro. the plants take what they need, which changes the ph, the soil buffers it, which changes it more. unless you understand plant and soil chemistry a lot better than i do, it doesn't really mean much ( and i've spent the last two years reading up on it). so if you don't have a big problem, don't go looking for one.

i'm not familiar with those particular products, but canna makes good stuff. i'd follow the instructions, but cut the amounts by about 25%.
almost any company that sells nutes will tell you to use too much, they're trying to sell you more nutes, not help you grow good plants.
