I am prepareing formy first harvest, I am in the 6th week of flowering, and from what I can tell the top 1/3rd of one of my girls is going to finish in about 2 weeks ( for 8 weeks of flowering) but the rest of the plant could probably go another 2 weeks after taht (10 weeks total)... How should I do this?? Does the plant need to be flushed prior to taking the top portion? I am not using organics.... any help appreciated

yes, flush it starting now......... don't worry about the bottom portion of the plant. flush as if you were harvesting the entire plant, then just let the bottom go a couple weeks longer. there are people who have grown plants without ever giving them any nutes at all. only what was in their soil to begin with (backyard soil)

I'm going to try the same experiment, cutting the top cola and letting the rest of the lower buds grow more and firm up. Keep us posted on how this works out!

the plan is to harvest the top cola and some of the other top buds at week 8 and then the remainder of the plant at week 10, I will report back when it is done
