Anybody do partial harvest?

I have. I had a huge branchy stretchy sativa heavy hybrid and the tops were done but the lowers could go some more. So i chopped the top 18” of all the branches with the big buds and spread out and supported the lower half of the plant. After a week or 10 days all the little lower buds had bulked up and ripened perfectly. They ended up more potent than the earlier cut big top buds.

Just leave the leaves on down there so the plant can continue and watch for nammers from stress.

Okay sounds good cause my tops are really high compared to my lowers and I started my flush already cause I'm not sure when I'm gonna see some amber could be tomorrow or week from now so I started my flush Saturday 40 days in to flower

MIM G do you think the stress may have caused the higher potency? It's good to know that the buds were able to still bulk up some after the stress.

Leeland I'm planning on doing this for next harvest but I was wanting to take a few medium buds when theres about 25% cloudy trics. Then the majority when all cloudy and ready and then finally harvest the remaining lower buds once the trics are 50% amber. I'm just curious as to how they all differ in effects.

Does anyone here know if this has been done before and if there's a grow with results?

No i think the time to ripen made them more potent. Also i keep fertilizing lightly to the end so the plant has the nutrients it needs to properly finish. Well i may have water only’d the last time or two.

Those look too early still. Why flush before they are even done growing?

Guess it could be 3 weeks. Way too many white pistils for me to stop feeding. I would just be tapering off the strength if the nutes soon.

Not close. Patience is yield and potency.

When 80% of those white pistils have died back and turned dark then is when flushers flush and start looking at trichomes.

You are in peak flowering stage. And looks great!

My buddy runs multi rooms like me and does that. Chops all the tops and then waits a week or 2 and chops the rest of the plant. For me it never added up to enough extra weight to justify losing a flowering in a room for the year schedule. After 4 times you could have just ran another crop. It's situational for your setup but it does work.
