Thread: newbie question on early harvest

hi i recently had to harvest my first plant due to the rains we had split the stem all the down the middle from the weight of the water on the buds??
i am a beginner just so you know
i think i still had three weeks to go i can post pics half of the plant is still in the ground the other half drying
with pics could anyone tell me if its way to premature or not

Looks smokable to me man,I take it,its the top part of the bush thats drying ? if thats the case,the top buds will be more mature and you could leave what was left in the ground to go another week or so,start flushing the soil with just water to remove any left over nutrients(if u used any)hope this helps.Peace,RM.

thanks rastaman

Yea if you used nutes flood the soil with water just to flush out the nutes in the roots. This will help the taste of your buds tremendously. I have never grown outdoors but i assume its the same as my indoor soil grows. I would leave whats left as long as you can without risking the buds health.

i am going to harvest the rest of the plant i found 2 buds where the tops are drying and the leaves around it are dieing
the first harvest came out great also the hairs are 80% dieing
thanks in advance and sorry for the bad punctuation spelling and run on sentences LOL

if by dieing you mean they are turning brown like rot or mold, remove it as quck as you can before it spreads.
