well, it's come that time, and my first grow is ready for harvesting.

unfortunately most of the buds aren't very big and most of them are underdeveloped. the buds on the ends of the branches are decent but the ones closer to the "trunk" or whatever of the plant are like not even half an inch or so.

i have a pic of some of the buds i took off today. most of the plant is still in tact, and i was wondering:

if i keep the plants on the 12/12 cycle that they've been on, will they keep maturing (after i have semi-harvested them already)?
should i just cut the little buds and cut my losses as well and just grow better next time?

i am afraid they'll just die after being cut up so much, but i really wanna try and get more bud off of them. it's depressing seeing a plant that still looks like it wants to grow just being thrown out.

i've got the ones in the pic hung up and drying now, gonna prepare for my second grow.

all in all this first grow has been exciting and most delightful.
i've learned a lot about growing (i feel like an expert now) but all i know for sure is that there is so much more to know. i am going to do a lot of things different next time, such as keeping better control of my plants height, using better ferts, and keeping stricter control of the lighting schedule.

thanks for your helps cannabis dot com
