RDWC - Orange Sherbet Barney’s Farm

Marching on to harvest, I have had a change of plan. After checking trichomes, it is clear that the top colas are fully ripened while the mid to low level buds are not, instead of harvesting the whole lot in a week or twos time, I am going to do a slow and steady harvest using the brown paper bag method. My aim is to check each cola with the scope and pick away cola tops, much like picking ripe fruit 🍌 I would prefer to do the whole harvest in one go, however I think it will bump the average quality of buds overall if I can get light down to the lower half of the plant to finish off those buds in shaded areas. For the few plants that didn’t stretch much, this is more of a problem and a lot of the buds below the canopy are big, but slightly pale looking. Today marks the start of week 9, this strain is supposed to be harvested week 8-10 but I am happy to push the plant on for 11 weeks if it means I can get those lower buds fully ripened. I just hope the stress I put them under won’t force them to herm on me. The pictures after this week are going to look bad, as the plants will be partly butchered by the time I post next weeks entry!
