I'm about to harvest, help! Can I only harvest mature buds

[fatbuds420]

some are mature, some are very close but need more time.

i'd also like a mix between "stoney" kind of weed (aka very mature)
and more "energizing one" (more white hairs etc)


can i just cut 1-2 branches off, and leave the rest on to finish maturing, or is that bad?

You could for the sake of science.

You can do partial harvests, yes. I often harvest the top half a week or more the the lower stuff

did you notice any up/down sides?


and once you harvested some, did the lower buds mature better?

Not overly, might gain a bit of weight but not much, just easier for me harvesting 18 plants with multiple tops lol slow process doing it myself

I’ve done partial harvest with no probs, yes the others ripened up well!

I'm doing that right now. I cut the branches off that were done (8) & they are hanging now. The rest is still under the lights finishing up. I cut more off about every 3 days til done. Usually done within 1 week. Doesn't gain any weight; but seems to make things get more crystally looking. I mainly harvest this way because a lot of the inner & lower stuff still has some white hairs that need to finish. I'm pushing about 1000 ppm in Hydro / DWC during the final chop / week. About 20 ml. of Terpinator per 3.5 gal. water. Shit is super sticky / frosty.

friend,, remember,, ed rosenthal,, a cannabis guru, his science states that trichomes begin to degrade in psycoactive properties as soon as they turn cloudy,, amber is full on degraded.

early is good,, and, sometimes,

amazing

cheers

Yes, they do start degrading as they turn Amber. But for someone like me who has trouble sleeping ... more Amber is a good thing. I like about 20% Amber for a night time med.
