Okay, so I'm growing the norther light auto-strain and the bubbleicious auto-strain. I'm growing these for 2 reasons. 1. Noob. 2. Moving from the US to Germany in a couple months and I needed something to grow fast. Anyways, I had issues with my Northern Lights from the beginning. I had them in Coco Fior without realizing the soil didn't have any nutrients so they got nothing for 3-4 weeks, and I had some additional small nutrient and over-watering issues. While my bubblecious was in Fox Farm ocean forest, and is just growing like crazy (in my opinion), they have only gotten grow nutrients once, and that was a couple days ago. So I've already learned from my mistakes. From the pictures you can see my bubbleicious is taking over, compared to northern lights. So I need the room. I've been reading the best time to harvest is when the tricomes look milky. Well, the top cola on two of my plants look like a 50/50 mix, but the ones below are just white. My questions are. 1.) What are your predictions on ETA - remember this is an auto-flower. 2.) If the top cola is ready to harvest can that just be plucked while the others grow? I planted the Northern Lights (silly me didn't write down the date, but I bought the seeds from Nirvana on 1-31-2015 so I probably got them and planted them the second week in February) Bubblecious which is irrelevant to my question was purchased 2-26-2015 so those were planted like the second week in March.
1. Its quite a while away from being done. 2. Yes you can harvest a branch at a time and leave the rest to mature. 3. Don't follow seedbank information like law it usually takes an extra week or two than there harvest date, they swell sooo much the last two weeks.
