it is very possible! alot of ppl on this site 'keep em green' and in fact the yellowing during flower is not normal and u will increase potency and yeild if the plant is kept green throughout its whole life

Well I suppose you could by adding more grow nutes during flower but in the end you may have larger size but I don't think the bud would produce the trichomes as it would have had it received more bloom food. Usually I take the yellow leaf to avoid insects but its been cool enough, these girls went through a lot and I'm letting them suck out every last drop.
Yea, I read a thread about it too. harvesting the upper buds, waiting for the lower buds to ripen then taking those but leaving the fan leaf on and re-vegging them. Keeping green alright.
Yea youtube changed there embed codes recently but I was able to figure out what part I needed to post here.
Thats where everything is at. Makes it easy to make and post vids here but I'm not there much.
I had that light rail for a while now, its been in storage cause it stuck on one side. I messed with it and got it going again so once I pulled the girls in soil I could remove the shelf and have space to get a ladder in there to put it up.

I have used them indoors and believe they do increase total yield by about 25% by covering a larger area and getting light to otherwise shaded buds. I'm using it primarily on cloudy days as supplemental lighting. Well that and to increase their daylight hours to 12 hours during the winter months. We get down to 10 hrs daylight in December and January so it goes on for a couple hours in the morning and the evening. Just found that out this year.

I really doubt that man, you can keep em green but then you end up with all kinds of nitrogen in your buds and more chloryphyll the chloryphyll is a major factor in what makes bud harsh when you smoke it. That is what curing is for because it breaks down the chloryphyll but what you do when you pick your plant with green leaves is make it have to take longer to cure properly because all that extra chloryphyll you made it have by adding more nitro than it needed.
The reveg thing that cruz was talkin about most definately works i've done this. It's good to leave the big fan leaves if you can however not completely neccesary and start feeding nitro again after harvest. Make sure you leave some small fluff nugs on the bottom of the plant "to unravel" so to speak and reveg is no problem with enough light because it has such a large root system and not much to support anymore.
So i guess in a way that is increasing the yeild of the plant because you use the same plant twice... but no potency is not affected in any way but a negative one. You wont notice it the first time you reveg but the more times you do it to the same plant it plays out. Loses the ability to produce after reveging a few times.
Sorry to jack your thread cruzer just wanted to try and clear that up a bit.
Ahhh ingenious light mover =) what do you do about light leak comin from inside there during the early morning and night hours when the light kicks on?

You would be way wrong about this, I am a keep em green grower and I can smoke my buds in just 3 days with no bad taste at all, it is simply a matter of knowing how to properly cure em and it is the cure that matters

are you implying that i dont know how to cure my herb? I've been doin it the same way for years i have yet to use a different curing method that maintains taste better. Smoking buds in three days with no bad taste is possible but chloryphyll doesnt effect taste it affects the harshness of the bud. You cant have smoke as smooth as you will get if you let the colors go out unless you cure for a lot longer than was necessary anyways this isnt the thread for that debate. I agree to disagree sir.

Not trying to speak on riddleme's behalf, but I know he is no disrespecting your curing methods. He has only researched and found a method similar to curing tobacco that only takes a few days to dry and cure after harvest. And so we don't thread jack cruzers thread any more than we have, I think a lot of the info is in his calling all noobs thread and some in his balls to the wall thread. I can vouch for it as I tried it on my last harvest, and there are others that can vouch too.
Happy growing All
