Was wondering about staggered harvests - GreenPassion.org - Dedicated to Medicinal Cannabis Cultivation and Education

Hi all,
I've been thinking about staggering my harvest when the time comes but I have a few questions. So when I'm approx 2 weeks away from harvest I should stop giving nutes, but once I've harvested the top of the plants what then? Do I start feeding again? Also will I see a lot of bud growth or is the goal here just to get the trichs to maturity? What kind of time frame are we talking about between first and second harvest (I'm sure the answer to this depends on many variables but just looking for a ball park figure using 400W with mostly indica strains)?
Thanks.

no you dont start feeding again much. you stay with the 12hr light cycle and it will atke abother couple of weeks for the remaining buds to mature.

I just keep giving them molasses and water, as well as whatever else you give for roots or deficiancies. All my nutes are in my soil so I do not feed much. But at this point you do not need to feed them much but molasses. You will notice the leaves dieing and that is normal.

Peace

Doh, I probably should have mentioned my medium, I use hempy buckets.

No idea about that at all....maybe if they are looking really bad after your first harvest, start feeding them again and wait until a week before the next lot is done, and just use molasses if it is alright for hempies. Any carb loader is fine. It will help clear out the nitrogen not feeding them, and get rid of that hay taste.
