Wondering if I should do a partial harvest, let the lower buds go another week or two after chopping the headbuds. Any advice would be appreciated!

Not enough leaves on that thing to perform enough cellular respiration if you did, the stages for "new growth" is gone, all she can do is refine what is already made, yyour buds looks fairly even all across the plants so I would'nt bother, all you would really look for if you did is ripening the lower trichomes a little longer to get that 10% amber if the top buds managed to get a little overcooked through accelerating degredation of THC to CBN via high light/heat, trichomes on loweer buds could use a extra week, no problem, thats down to your judgement and your trichome cloudiness, Just dont expect a second spurt of magic growth, doesnt quite work like that.

doing this for tomatoes makes sense. doing this for berries makes sense. would you partially harvest a hop cluster, a broccoli floret, or a flower and expect there to be no sanitation and pathogen risk? partial harvesting is just the final nail in the coffin of "i didnt plan my canopy and couldnt ever get it back into manageable shape and not have to make sub-optimal decisions likely to impact the integrity of my harvest overall" true that this is a common occurence with hobbyists and homegrowing experimentalists, so is doing a hot soil with liquid worm juice and feces and bone marrow and blood and fish emulsions and not flushing... that is also something that hobbyists and homegrowing experimentalists vouch for regularly... nobody in industry does though. so just understand where rubber meets the road for the internet versus the industry bruv. so much of the actual work in cultivating for hobbyists and homegrowing experimentalists is done by the raw pedigree of genetics or their vendor solutions like fertilizers and gear, that it can be really hard to get to the bottom of 'best practices' when online
