Yeah, make some bubble hash. It's the best thing you can do with it. And it gets you super high it is really potent

I've never grown auto's, but with regular plants the lower buds will fatten up some after removing the upper buds.
But yes, bubble hash is nice, and you can also use your trim for it too. It's a bit of work though.

I've tried this a bunch of times, but the only real change I've seen is the buds darkened up. I also let my plants go longer than most people, so maybe they are grown as much as possible by the time I harvest. I'm not sure, but to me it doesn't justify the use of resources.

I agree....they never get fat like you would hope....I lolipop real hard nowadays to avoid all that larfy crap.

Thanks all. with the limited amount of small buds, not really worth the trouble.
Interesting process though

You're crazy lol all that adds up over time. Putting in freezer after dried keeps it fairly fresh. I used to throw it away to tho, now I'll get tired of trimming and throw everything else into storage like that. Being for edibles mainly. Some of that is almost 2 years old. Still has a viable purpose. Just personal preference tho.

Also better light, will reduce larf. Like completely. Even my growth closer to soil that pops up mid flower. Normally should be re removed as a cleanup after stripping. With a quality light even that's fat for what it is and amount of time it has to grow. May not be ready to harvest when plant is but still viable saving like that.

Very nice
My indoor grow area is very limited. I thought about more lighting, but just to tight.
Considering a move out of Florida, then I could expand.
Thanks for your insight

My buddies uncle does this, he chops the top half of the plants and lets the bottom half bloom for another couple weeks before harvesting that. He has noticed an increase in yields doing this.

I've done that as well in the past if you're trying to run perpetually that's a pain. Thatll push flower time to like 20 weeks. Bottoms need a good time to ripen being out of direct light until top harvested. I've grown with blurples, florescent and led. My pasts knows larf and light airy buds well

Yeah I don't do it either, I like the blend of different nugs personally and am not going to run 1000 watt bulbs to get a few more grams.

I run 540 not 1000 watts. That just depends on grow space a 3x3 300 watts. Now if your in something over a 5x5 you may need 1000 watts. 5x5s good with 800 watts. And it's not a few more grams, but also the better light add to quality, terpenes and thc

I grow in 5x20' rows so the 1000w do okay but I'm trialing some Luxx Pro 645 units right now on one of the rows and it seems to be doing good so far. I'm probably going to switch to LED due to electric costs going up along with everything else. Also a benefit is my inverter generator can power them if my shit goes out whereas the 240v 1000w no chance unless I upgrade to a $10,000 diesel generator.

I normally run 1000-1100 watt bulbs but ran 600 watt HPS this time, and I noticed a considerable difference in the lower buds being much less dense, even with the plants being loli popped. I also noticed a considerable difference in my electric bill, lol,
I might experiment with 600 watts the first and last few weeks, and run 1,000 watts from like week 3-6....Kind of like nature with spring and fall being less intense.
