The following techique is not for indoor growers, or for outdoor growers who want to visit their plants as seldom as possible.
Generally, buds on the ends of branches ripen first. Often they comprize up to 1/3 of the end of the branch. I cut this portion of the branches off of the standing plant. Then with scissors I remove the smaller buds ONLY (leaving the branch and leaves) further in on each branch, stopping when I get down to the small airy unripe buds. I continue to water and care for them.
Then I return in a week or 2. Those small airy buds are now bigger and denser. I cut them off the branch. If there are any small airy buds left I continue to give the plant water.
Then I return in 1--2 weeks. Again, all these tiny buds are big.
I have visited some of my backyard plants as many as 4 times after the initial harvest. I have gotten as much as an extra ounce off of plants, buds that would weigh a total of a few grams of low-potency weed if I had harvested the entire plant at once.
