Cutting top Cola

Don't the pistils start to turn brown/red from the bottom up? If this is the case it seems the bottom would ripen first and the main cola last. I thought the window of opportunity was about a wek or so and then the THC started to breakdown into CBN??? or something like that. I am about 6 weeks into my first batch that will survive the entire ride and I would love to clip the colas and let the rest go a bit longer.
Thanks for any input.

do you get much extra growth in the buds after you remove the cola and lower the lights?

i also have read somewhere about the window of oppertunity, is the only way of telling by checking the little hairs color?

totally agree with the day out fishing with mates and a few fattys! sublime

Hi, All.

I'm about to do this. I'm gessing/hopping that I have around 6 to 8 Oz's of top buds, I did no trimming of my plants, (Clones Ak47) and flowered early so they are only 18" tall. I am gessing that at the moment I have around 1 to 2 Oz's of popcorn sized buds growing under the canapie, I am hoping to double or triple this. But Like I say Im only hoping. This is my first grow so I have no idea what I will get.

One bonus is, that I am growing in DWC, that means I only have to flush for 6 days which means I have a lot more controle over Nute levels and which I hope will increase my harvest.

Any way, If any one is interested. I will be documenting my progress in the Harvest and Curing Section of this forum. 7 Days untill first Cut.
Wish me luck.

I'm not sure if it's done or should I wait

I'm no expert by a long shot, but it looks like you've got some more swell left to go on those bitches.
A loupe would also be useful
