I took a sample from each strain to see if i should start the chop.
this is exactly 9 weeks. And i took the buds from the low branches.
They could use another week. If you need some meds for yourself then dry a few of the buds to smoke and let the rest finish.
Some of the best advice I've ever read came from the master grower Soma. His advice is to wait until you think the plants are ready to harvest. Then give them another week.
I use this advice now when I harvest. In fact that's one of the main reasons we harvest at 9 weeks instead of the usual 8.
I've also cut plants down but leave enough of the lower branches to keep the plant alive. That way the roots won't die and kill the other plants.
You could do this for your AK. Just pull the majority of your other plants and leave the AK in for another few days to finish.
I'll be doing this on my next harvest because I want to see how long it will actually take for the AK to totally finish.
Even if it takes 12 fucking weeks I'm going to wait it out this time!
