Very Nice Dr.Gruber.
Friday the 13th Harvesting ! I think the numbness and tingling is all gone now, haha. ( just pulled some of my G13)
Hey i was wondering what your tips would be for Harvesting in sections ( and if you could comment on taking pics while harvesting ) The Harvesting in section part, Im curious what you suggestions are as far as, When to chop it. Morning as soon as light come on ? Or are you using one of those green lights to chop right before lights on ?
The harvest pictures part, When i do a sectioned harvest, im always a little nervous just because i dont want to do anything wrong. So i get them chopped and hung and thats where they stay. Are you cutting them, sitting them out snapping some pics then hanging ?
Amazing journals Gruber. Always on point, cant wait to see more of your stuff.
Thanks Mike!
I usually find the buds in the middle of the plant finish first so i start there, and i try to get them in the morning.Jorge Cervantes said to do it in the am so I do but I dont always stick to that.
I go by pistil color and trich color to give me the best idea when its ready.
After the mid section, the top cola and those right below it are ready in a few days or a week. After that I move the plant up to the light and it could take weeks for the rest of it to finish. The bottom popcorn buds get much bigger.
But, you cant do a 3 week out flush before first harvest or you wont have enough healthy green leaves to keep the rest of it going. I flush many times during the grow to keep salt build up to a minimum, make sure the run off PPM is low and give it plain water a week before first harvest. After that i start feeding it again at a low dose and monitor the run off until i feel the plant is about done and its straight water from there.
With the pictures its just like you said. I cut and trim them, then lay them out, snap a few pics and hang them in the drying box.
By the way...your g13 looks amazing....i should be asking you for tips.
