50 Days Into 12/12

Well, I'm 50 days into 12/12 and so far it has been quite the battle. Faced a lot of issues and learned a lot a long the way. I have proper rooms constructed and plan on having the next one go a bit smoother.

Right now, I have noticed that the top has progressed far much more than the bottom. Would it be wise to harvest the top first and then drop the lights lower to finish the bottom out? Considering the issues that I have faced and the limited area with this grow, would it be wise just to harvest my top and and call it a lesson learned and use the lights to start flowering another in a proper room/environment?

Your tops aren't ready.

I figured they would be a couple of weeks at least yet, but I was talking about more in the future in my original post.

In that case cross that bridge when you get to it. No right or wrong as far as I'm concerned. You might get the bottom to mature a bit more but given how much you are removing from the top she will be stressed and that is a trade off.

Patience is a virtue.... dont harvest to quickly but dont wait to long either, but by the pics you have several weeks ahead of you. You can harvest part of the plant and leave the rest, check out this article and at the end it talks about staging your harvest. I harvested my first two plants at three different times. It makes it a manageable harvest for trimming and the lower buds do get to develop a little, but they wont jump out and get huge or anything.

a good read... http://www.alchimiaweb.com/blogen/harvest-marijuana-plants-trichome-ripeness/

It has been 55 days so far and I decided to at least attempt to look at the trichomes using the camera I had, and from my picture and first time judgment I want to call most of these trichomes milky.. correct?

i would let them go until you start seeing some amber trichromes

Least a week id go atleast two. Patience is hardest thing growing by far.

Looks alright. Not ready for my liking. But it's as simple as treat. Do when u like the effect the trichs will make for u.

Peace
