When the time comes to harvest, is it OK to take the top of the plant off to dry first and leave the lower buds to develop more? Thanks

If you have 1 plant. And she's your only lady. Then why not. Just lower the diet, you don't wanna flush now, but you do want to visit lower the substrates overall ppm (the food left in the substrate) you can just let her eat tat for a few days and then take most of the top and all the sites on the top of the node that is done. Cause say if you leave a big as done bud at the end of a node it stops drawing up enough food as the plant feeds from the top so when the top stops drawing up food you'll find that any big plant will struggle to finish all at once. I did it, harvest every bit of larf. 3 part harvest. Have a look. Now all the Larfy/ white hairy girl turned from 90% white to 100% Amber it just shows once ripening is done its done. So you won't get too much fattening. So what I would suggest, if lower parts of trichomes are still cloudy, you want to remove all done bud on them nodes that you want to mature the lower growth you need to trick that part back into feeding as the top buds on the nodes are done and telling your plant to stop feeding. Now I just lollipop the shit outta my grows, anyone looking on for the 1st time would probably be looking on in horror but really removing lil bits of larfy growth in pre flower or before it uses up energy that could of been used to make nicer quality bud on top. It's all about energy management. Feel free to DM me I've some experience restarting and stopping the feed process. Good luck.

i’m just kidding man larf is not that bad really its a pain in the ass to lollipop plants so i sometimes say fuck it and just roll with it. but i’ll tell you this while they will keep maturing after you harvest the tops they will not get as fat and dense as tops ever. they will stay larfy or if its mids you leave on the plant they will mostly stay mids but will mature a bit and you may get 10% more weight but i dont think youll get more than that. so its your decision. you can leave them on for 2 weeks more to get 10% more or harvest at once and start a new run and over time those 2 weeks add up. in 4 cycles you’ll add 8 weeks to gain 40% more from those 4 grows and thats a full flowering period for another cycle you’ve lost. so there are cons and pros as with everything in life :)

Absolutely! I've had to do that and it worked a treat! Being a "good grower" doesn't mean utilizing all the techniques, it means bringing your grow to a successful conclusion - and from the looks of your grow, you ARE a good grower! Good luck and enjoy the smokes again - beware, they're NOT what you smoked before! LOL!
