Like I said already. If you growing bud for something other than gettting the max thc level? Then be my guest and go another route. But yes there is a point where the THC level will get no higher and that is when its done for me. This is determined by the trichomes end of story nothing else. Without a doubt you can keep it alive past prime and it WILL start to lose potency. Again if you're after something other than potency go ahead and determine when is done another way.
I'm not trying to increase TCH I want to know whether there's room for growth to have more buds if that makes sense?

Yeah that's not the problem I think this will be my last grow lol I want it to last for a while then I'm quiting it's a little risky and I live in an area where it's easy to get caught.

Sure it does. And yes you can gain some mass once the trics are past prime. Look its a way bigger deal to pick it to soon then it I is to go too long no doubt. Once again I'm just say how to tell when your at THC peak. I'm not gonna let the potency go down just to get more bud. But I'm just speaking for myself.lmmfao!

Yeah I feel you on that, just a joint will get you in some shit here never mind a fxkin tree
I'm just thinking some of the bottom branches have very tiny buds with white pistils is there any growth potential possibly there? I want it to be highly potent plus if possible increase yield.

You can chop the bits that are ready and leave the parts that Arnt, but then again don't leave ya buds too long. I wouldn't trade potency for quantity either.

No where does it say you must pick the whole plant at once. Most do but sure you can harvest from top to bottom.

Ever notice how all new guys are experienced growers but give terrible grow advice?
And many wellknown members aknowledge they have only been growing however long


Yiur plant has several weeks left. Harvesting clear just mines slightly less thc on outer nug. As calyxs stack theyripen progressively. The bud will jave the same higj if picjed early. Most growers advocate growing to strain not thehigh. Geta dif strain if yiu want couchlock etc

I dontknow why my text fuckin , phone spazzing and im not editing all that

I'd be a complete liar if I said I've never harvested a plant before I should have. But nothing worse than having the feeling of man I wonder how much better or more I could have got if I let it go longer.

If you're referring to me and you think I gave terrible advice point it out and show me where my advice was terrible and what was wrong with it and what i should have said. Hit me with some of your master grow knowledge there brother. You've said nothing or helped in any way what so ever. All you've done is ran your trap
