Cut off ripe or harvest whole plant?

[tboner1]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this problem. Most of the upper buds are ripe and ready, but some of the lower is a little behind. Is it better to harvest just the ripe or will it slow down the rest of the ripening if I do, or should I harvest the whole plant? Thanks!

I just cut the big buds and leave the little ones to fatten up for a week or two. Yes, the plant will "sulk" for a couple of days, but just water it and it will be fine! :thumbsup:

Those little buds finally put on some weight when they can get some more light once those big buds are gone! Just try to not remove any leaves unnecessarily. With a little care, you can remove a bud, but leave the leaf that fed it. Then, the food that the leaf makes can be redirected into other parts of the plant- hopefully, to your little buds.

:)Thanks-my med growing is time consuming and labor intensive, (expensive, too!) but I learn something new every day. Good growing to you.
