Harvesting Early

[Matto]

Hi,

I have a tent grow that needs to be packed away in 2 weeks. The buds are still young most are white pistils and trychs are clear. Apart from the obvious yield being lower what other disadvantages associated with this please.

Much appreciated

Depends on how early, a week? Not a lot. 3 or 4 weeks & I'll pass on the smoke, buzzy, jittery, feeling not to my liking.

 

[Matto]

Few weeks I believe @Arthur

 

[Arthur]

Yeah... that looks pretty early. Need more voices on this one. What's the longest you can let them go? Your right at the balance point for me, a week could make quite a difference.

 

[Arthur]

Do you need the tent to dry? Or can you cut and tear down the tent while the plants dry somewhere else?

 

[Matto]

I can cut and tear down the tent

@archie gemmill @Arthur I have about 6 days before I have to pack it up risks aren’t worth it. It’s my first grow and I have learnt so much from the members here and the site. I will have enough smoke to last me until I can get set up and do another grow.

Would there be any advantage to go 24 hours on the light for the last 6 days?

could take 7 days to dry the buds,if the tent is the only place to do it....ya gotta do what ya gotta do....clint eastwood/john wayne/somebody
