harvesting half the plant?+reppage!!!

Is it ok to harvest some buds off the plant and let some of the lower, smaller buds remain to develop a bit more?? will it damage the plant to start cutting at it now?

its getting close to harvest, cant really see the tric's with this 30x mag glass but the hairs are brown, caylx's are swollen and some of the tric's look cloudy

You can cut some of the buds off it you think they are done and you want to let the lower ones grow out. Your plant will be fine if you do this. If you are having trouble seeing the trics try cutting off a small sugar leaf and lay it down where your stable. Some people like some amber some like cloudy/clear personal preference. As far as cutting the top buds youll be fine!!!! Happy Harvest

Definitely ok to chop the ripe buds, and let the smaller ones grow in.

I've even chopped plants down to about 3 or 4 popcorn buds, and put them back under the veg lights to grow them out again!

A great way to keep a strain you didn't get a clone on

it could be a bit early so im just gonna cut one bud, the tric's look cloudy to full white on this one, room stinks like an Amsterdam coffee shop

nice man, my first grow so i just don't want it to die after coming so far!
some of the lower buds are defiantly under developed but as you move up the main cola(this is just an autoflower) it gets more finished looking

not only is it okay to do, it's recommended in grows where the lower buds get less light

I harvested an outdoor onyx autoflower in two stages (i was a little doubtful on how it would go, being an auto i didnt really wanna stress it too hard), but even out doors, with the instability in daily weather where i live the plant continued to thrive after i removed the top 70% of the plant... I recommend it...

i got tired of devoting space to half developed plants. i took all the good buds and dried them. and off of the same plant i cut up the popcorn and any other leaves with triches. then that pile became kief and eventually kief hash. which is, imo, even better than buds. and sells for more too. it seems to be a more effective use of space.
