Harvesting twice

[Tone5500]

I'm looking for some good advice on how to havest the same plant twice, I want to cut the top third off the. Let the lower part continue for a week or two is it worth it ?? Any good links on explaining the method not sure of what the method is even refered by , any help I would greatly appreciate it .

Yeah it's real easy actually, first you cut off the top third or whatever buds have matured, then you wait a week or two and chop what remains.

Not trying to sound like a dick but it really is pretty straightforward, I don't even think you'll find an expanded explanation.

You don't pick every apple at the same time.

Mon harvest the plants two, three times. Usually after the first chops, it takes about a week for it to start growing again and get over the shock and then another two weeks to fill out.

If you flush before chopping, mon recommends feeding again until the last week.

I hit it with serious side light. Seems to make the plant mature and ripen on the lower areas at the same rate as top. So you can harvest it all together!

This is why I switched to vertical hanging bulbs

Trimming everything at once is also quite unacceptable to many, including myself.

The bigger your plant, the more reason you have to double harvest. This is just my opinion, but if you have a big-ass plant, you get lots of new growth after the the 12/12 flip. This can go on for 2 or 3 weeks, you can end up with like thirty percent more plant. So if the top third of your plant is 9 weeks, the bottom third, this "new growth" is only 6-7 weeks. Why not give it a couple more weeks to fatten up? If you grow small plants, there just won't be as much bottom stuff to worry. The second harvest isn't a magic way to increase production beyond what is natural, it's just a tool to get all you can out of your plants.
