This field was a volunteer field and plant spacing varied. The header becomes more efficient with closer together planting to encourage the plants to flower higher off of the ground or to encourage a canopy. In this case, the branches that were left were mostly lower branches which had a much lower CBD content. Collecting them would make the extraction less efficient. Overall, it was better to only collect 95% of the buds at 8 acres per hour than to pay for labor to ensure collection of all of the branches. The 5% loss was more than made up for in the increased efficiency.
there is still product left after the stripping header : (
Too dense buds?
