Hello, Please allow me to show off my latest girl and get your opinion on when to harvest.
I am a stealth personal medical grower and do one plant at a time in an 8x4 room. Wifey says only one and it's better than none! Since I only have one plant flowering at a time, I have the room for two 600 watt yield master two hoods with a lumitech dual 600 ballast. This allows the plant to spread out and really bud up. I use a 20 gallon felt growbag in a cement mixing bucket. My medium is a custom soil/compost mix and I use technaflora nutes which I love. BC boost, bloom, sugerdaddy, red, awesome blossoms, magical, etc.
My strategy is to veg for about 2 months under a 30" piece of white closet maid wire shelving. When it's ready, I lift it off the screen, go to 12/12 and let the colas rise up. The strain is Moby Dick (a powerful white widow/haze cross) which I have done several generations of. These buds were my smallest, I think because of the many colas and cold cement floor in my room. It drops to 60 degrees at night. I flushed for a week and just went into darkness this morning so I will be harvest sunday night.
My question is, am I pulling the trigger too early? It's been almost 10 weeks but the cold may have slowed things down. The trichs are 60-40 cloudy with hardly any amber but by sunday they should turn even more. I don't mind an early harvest because this will be my springtime get-out-and-get-active bud.
Another idea is to harvest the colas then bring the plant back into light and nutes for a week, reflush then harvest the lower buds in two weeks.
Or, is it just too early and I need to get the lights back on her?
Thanks!
