that's what you get for training the first growth up! haha. you'll have early cones but you'll also have some coming in later if you allow more shoots to climb. commercial growers generally whack off the early growth and then at some point begin to train them. that way they can harvest the whole yard while everything ripens at one uniform time. when the plants are only 1 or 2 years old you can keep up with the early/late harvest regime but once they are firmly established, there are so many cones that it'll take you HOURS to determine which are the ripe ones and which you should leave for later. it gets to be alot like work so i yank out everything that comes up for about the first month and then right about now, begin to train what i want to produce. big learning curve. have fun!
