Split harvesting pros & cons

[politoed]

Hey gang, I am sure we have all seen people harvest their produce in staggered intervals, such as taking the top half of the plant when the trichs are milky and waiting another 1-2 weeks for the bottom nuggets to amber up.

If stresses like nutrient deficiency and excessive defoliation can impact yields, wouldn't chopping half of the plant off have an adverse effect on the remaining flower sites?

Well I did this, and if you ask me didn’t really harm the plant. I mean it must have, but after almost 12 weeks of 12/12 I didn’t give a beep if it did. But I did learn 1 thing after doing that lol,


Take a guess.


I learned that I should have waited a couple more weeks If I wanted a much larger harvest XD hahaha. But I also really wanted to get high so whatever. Do it, don’t it. Just move on and learn

I've heard certain strains like "Flow" are suited for staggered harvests.
I've tried it and it's nor for me because I'm usually running perpetually and always have some clones waiting for a spot to open up in the bloom tent
