i was wondering what would happen if i harvested about a month early? my plant is pretty big and i would love to keep it but i just have no time to let it grow anymore how much would it reduce the potency and everything else? i'm in the 3rd week of flowering (some hairs have turned orange but theres still a bit of hairs that are still white) what do i do?

I'm by no means an expert but yellowing in flowering is usually caused by a lack of nitrogen in most bloom foods. As far as early harvest I don't think there is anything you can do to increase potency other than letting her flower properly. 3 weeks of flowering to me sounds way to early to cut, but if you have no choice than do it. Just don't expect much from what you get.

Good luck.

yeah it is lack of nitrogen i've fed it plenty of nitrogen and other essentials and yeah i just took a little sample off her and it was really good (tasted like candy, smoke wasn't to bad [still going to cure of course] i will let her run as long as i can but i may in the end need to cut her early unless of course my situation gets better but rep + thanks for the input

If you have no other choice than to chop then that's what you'll do, but do try to wait if at all possible....just one week can make the difference between a light buzz that lasts 20 minutes and harvesting some of the most potent stuff you've ever smoked. If you don't have one get a cheap handheld microscope from radioshack or a loupe and have a look at your trichomes.
