NEED help from proâ??s. Iâ??m about to punch babies!

when do you find the buds plump up the most. is it really quickly in the last 2 weeks. or steadily for the lats 4? I've read that calyx development is only the first 5 weeks. Then they just swell in size and really pack on weight.

Hmmm, good question, have really been counting but yes, probably last two weeks before harvest.
You know, i wouldn't be averse to dusting the false buds with pollen the last couple of days, I've read about it before. They won't have time to develop any seeds, but I think they may just have time to swell a little more.

as well, do you harvest one plant over a few days?

Yes.

if so, are you worried about stressing the plant out by cutting it?
or is that stress a good thing,
then again, what could that stress actually do

I doubt they enjoy it, but they're dying and going to be dead in a few days anyway, plus they haven't been fed for 2 weeks, so who cares.
Just want to let those trichs squeeze out their last juice and oxidate to just the right maturity...
