Harvest & Curing Help please - Three plants, different harvest times and one tent.

Thanks FullDuplex.

It's not that I want to harvest early, it's that I may have to. That being said, my plan is the following over the next few days:

1.) trim all lower leaves and most fan leaves leaving only those closest to flowers.

2.) provide thrive alive B1 and B-52 with normal nutrients for a couple of days to help with the stress that trimming is going to cause.

3.) Harvest as late as possible and see what happens.

If I had a choice, I would wait but I don't. I will also try to get some microscope pics of flowers prior to trimming and shortly after.

So this over the next couple of weeks right? By couple I mean 4-6.

I hope so Roark.

Early harvest will only be if I absolutely have to, which unfortunately may be the case.

Anyone have any tips on how to steady various USB microscopes? I'm having the hardest time keeping the microscope focused on the flowers to take a picture.

take a small (and I mean really really small) part of the plant (it doesnt have to be the bud itself you can take small sugar leave or a small popcorn bud) put it on a table of something firm and a picece of white paper under it and there you have it..

plants will not stress about that also they will not stress if you cut only the main cola (when its time).

and about different harvest times: the one that looks finished to you can wait 3-6 more days for other to finish and chop them together, although it doesnt look like there is a big diference..

but if the worst scenario comes, everything doesn't matter at all, you do what you have to do. (hope that doesnt come)

to add a little to djbra420's idea ... First I put a small sugar or bud leaf on a solid surface then I place the microscope over the leaf w/ the plastic ring in contact with the surface it's sitting on ... I press down firmly slowly turning the focus on the USB scope ... I do a lot this way ...

Thanks djibra420 and Chester.

Unfortunately, it's the latter situation for me so I'm in the "finish this shit up" zone.

Today, I decided to do the unfathomable and took off most of the fan leaves. I need this plant to focus on flowers, like NOW.

Bubba Kush auto fucked the shit out of Girl Scout Cookies auto, which sucks cause Girl Scout's flowers looks mad good. This was due to two plants being in one 5-gallon bucket - not good and first timer mistake.

Here are some pics (after heavy defoliating):

Updates on these plants just before harvest:

what's that on the vent?! some kind of a silence fabric?!

The black cover on the fan? I'm not sure, it came that way. First grow relatively successful minus the sad but necessary early harvest.
