Tree q reducing?

[ysbryd]

A question for all the tree growers out there.
It appears that harvesting branches cones etc from a younger tree reduces its final q? I have harvested cones from next to last stage trees and the final tree is producing lower q cones?
Has anyone else seen this?

Hope you're wrong, I pick branches off of growing trees to check their Q early on.

Only just started growing trees tho, so not sure what effect it has.

I've done lots of trees and this is not true.

What is the Q of the seed u used / soil / water / pot / table ?

And what was the final Q of the tree at ?

taking things from not fully grown trees dsnt affect to the final quality.
I have heard lot of times people saying it decreases the Q or that it makes them to grow slowler, and both are wrong.

Okay guys I will take your word for it on this, just odd that I still have a q49 cone in the cupboard and the tree in question is now giving me q46 cones... *shrug*

Assuming all your variables (Soil/Water/Pot/Table) plus the original seed will give you a higehr Q tree as a result.

Each Tree has 5 growing stage:

Harvesting during stage 1,2 and 3 the Q of the tree is lower than during stage 4 and 5, so anything you pick during this stage (Stage 1 2 and 3) will result in a lower Q item.

Hmmm I clearly havent made myself understood.

I plant the tree.... (the only one of this type I have growing atm)
I test the tree at stage 4 = q 49 cone
I wait for tree to mature and harvest q46 cone?

Yeah I double checked...hadnt planted first harvested cone yet, unless someone has chopped the tree and replanted in same spot and made magically mature, which seems like a whole lot of trouble to go to, the q dropped by 3 pts

Maybe I just got unlucky, it doesnt seem to have happened to any others

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

In all my time of tree farming, never have I seen aa tree drop Q, I always harvest everything from Stage 4 (Branch/Brough/Seed/Bark) and it comes out the same in stage 5 as it was in 4. I know I've grown over 500 trees. Maybe some of the other more veteran tree farmers know more.

Thanks for the replys guys, maybe just a glitch in the matrix who knows...

im no veteran at all, but i try to harvest everything at stage 4 too and it occasionally comes out differently at stage 5. however, never experienced having lower q. always the same or higher q at the last stage as far as i remember. (i keep records on an excel sheet since w3, but i always replace the final q and do not keep the records of how many of those have gotten higher q at the last stage.)
