Does anyone know if it is possible to cut branches off a six foot plant that look ready for harvest? The main cola is still only about 20% amber pistilled while many of the other main branches are atleast 75% amber. I'm not sure if it will stress out the rest of the remaining bud left on the plant. Thanks:rastasmoke:
Yes! Some buds mature faster than others.You will stress the plant like hell if you cut on it.Start with the lower braches and smaller buds,leaving the larger ones to finish.

Get a pocket microscope its the colour of the trichome's you want to check for harvest not the pistils.
hell yeah you can harvest in stages, I grow my harvest into stages of 2 week intervals. So every 2 weeks I cut down and replace. Also some plants dont mature all at once so you may harvest half the plant then wait a week and harvest the rest. Its all good and listen to the man Jack Herer, he knows all, Im sure..lol Peace Ollie

Yea you can harvest in stages. It's a good way to maximize your yields. Just break it off cleanly, like cutting it with scissors and all should be well.
I did it for my grows and it worked very well
I did it as well and it definetly made for a better harvest.
I tried this run constant bud if that is what you are lookin for.
We call it a perpetual cropping...
Ga Grown!
