Unless your talking about a huge amount, everything that I've read says harvest the whole thing and start a new crop! Good Luck!! :thumbsup:

I generally go 2 weeks veg..and roughly 8 weeks flower..
MAX 3 weeks veg..I find those great big trees aren't worth the time and annoyance of trying to get enough light through them..
If you get yourself a good timer (one that allows you to program everything from on time to how long and off you want it to stay) you can program your timer so the lights are on longer than 12 hours during flower!
Flowering is triggered by long nights..not short days..so you can have the timer keep your lights off for 12 hours and on for 16...
It throws the concept of a 24 hour day out the window..but it gives your flowers more time under the light...
