Harvesting Tops First
Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2026 7:43 pm
Staged harvesting, taking the main cola a week before the lowers, works especially well on autos since the lowers are usually well behind and shaded. Once the top is gone, the light reaches the rest and they fatten noticeably in the extra days. There is a short explainer with before and after shots on https://turboautoflowerseeds.com that convinced me to stop chopping the whole plant at once. The only downside is two drying batches instead of one.
