Harvest timing is a matter of personal preference. When the glandular trichomes are clear with very little, if any coloration, THC levels are at their peak with CBD and CBN both at levels that will not overly influence the THC with their sedative effects. Some prefer more overwhelming narcotic type effects, allowing the resin glands to cloud and begin to amber or darken to increase overall cannabinoid content. The resin glands appear and therefore will mature at different times. A compromise is made when determining the desired overall maturity level to harvest. It depends on the growers preference in effect and palate.

personal experience, ive noticed that harvesting even two or three weeks early has not only caused a major loss in yield, but the high doesnt last as long. yea its an uplifting high with plenty of energy but once it wears off after like an hour and a half, i feel kinda groggy like i smoked some schwag or sumthin. i dunno maybe thats just in my case, but i will never harvest early again for no reason.

Ok so it seems everyone pretty much agrees i should at least wait two more weeks... ok ok im waiting but...... i did cut off 3 branches that kept getting hit by the door when i was opening and closing =D everyone said big mistake noobs like myself often make is harvesting to early i figure what better way for me to experiance this w/o having to wait a whole nother harvest and waste a whole plant. lol so i took 3 branches off one of the two plants and i have to say... for all of you people who harvest large amounts PROPS!! all i had to clip was 3 branches and that was a pain in the ass i dont know how you guys do it lol.

yea man you can go ahead and give your girl a couple feedings with that. then just flush for a week or so. i dont see the problem with feeding her once or twice more. just make sure you can flush her and feed nothing but water for at least a week and id say your good. some pics next week to see the progress would be a good idea

yea ive heard of them, never heard anything bad about them so im assuming they are pretty decent. I use fox farm myself. and yes you should still flush your plants regardless of what your using. although using organics should be much less of a problem than the chemical stuff

i've been using them for a few years. i've tried just about everything out there and keep coming back. be sure and use the cal/mag supplement cause the nutes are a little light there.:weed:
i'd use about 200 ppm of the bloom nutes to finish off with. keeps buds fatter and it doesn't leave a chem taste.

yea they are kinda expensive, pays for itself though. i got the trio( grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom) for about 50 bucks, shipping and handeling included. and the soil will fill up a 4 gallon pot. you dont have to get the soil, although it is pretty good stuff, but the main part is the nutrients

hey man mine were like 1.5 feet when i started and they are about 4 feet now from everything ive read they are supposed to tripple in size when you go to 12/12 seems about right to me. so if yours a foot now and you start 12/12 expect 3 feet final plant
