Ok but will the plant give more energy to other bud's that it would have spent on that clone?? Which was my main reasoning for pruning it.

**Weekly Update**
(11 weeks old, 7 weeks flowered)
(1 week, 4 days for the newbies)
This week has been pretty good for my baby's. The female is all milky with a few amber trichs, and starting to yellow up (hopefully from flushing and/or being almost done), she dropped three nice dark-lined jumbo seeds today, and after sampling the bud yesterday from the clone I pruned I am very excited to have more of her genetics on standby. The hermie is SO frosty so I had to take some micro shots, but it's starting to produce more nanner's than usual so I think I might chop it earlier than the female. I am going to harvest them based upon this article ( http://www.gardeningbythemoon.com/medicinalherbs.html ), and this calender ( http://www.lunarium.co.uk/calendar/gardening.jsp ), also by the fact that they're both all milky and turning amber. The newbies are doing great, the "fruity pebbles" was really getting tall compared to the WW so I started LST on it.

I've decided to chop them both on the same day, was gonna let the female mature a bit more but the buds are starting to space out to much, and since it is milky already I'll just take what I got while I got it.

got a grow under the belt, and some bud to show for it

Exactly what I was thinking, but we got some HEAVY rain today, and the forecast is t-storms next two days, so I'm not sure if I should wait till after the storms or chop em before. I also noticed that some of the calyx's are still opening into flowers, so I'm not sure if I should wait on the female. But the hermie is definitely coming down tomorrow morning cause that storm tore it up, even made one bud fall off.

After reading this:
"Calyx swelling is a major indicator of peak maturity. The lowest, oldest calyxes swell first and the swelling works its way up to the highest, youngest flowers on each bud. At peak maturity about 90% of the calyxes will almost look seeded, they are so fat.

Three quarters to 90% of the pistils will have turned reddish brown as well. For a basic Indica this takes well into the seventh week of the flowering cycle.

By the end of the eighth week most of the calyxes will have swollen and a surge of trichome development has coated most of the buds. It is now that the development of a very discerning palate comes into play to determine the finest harvest time. Remember - patience is a virtue and often a discipline.

The ripening signs for most Sativas are highly similar, except extended over a longer period of time. Occasionally, some Sativas have windows of peak harvest that actually open and close. That is, for a week or so the plant may exhibit signs of peak ripeness.

However, a week later the plant may have a growth spurt, which lowers the trichome-to-fibre ratio and overall potency for a little while. Usually a fibrous growth spurt is accompanied by a corresponding trichome increase. Again, time and experience are the key elements in this regard."

I've decided to wait and let them open, cause they're definitely still opening. But the hermie is coming down tommorow, just cause I don't feel like picking ANY MORE NANNERS!!! haha, I see why people just chop em from the get go.

I didnt realize how tiny these plants were until now..
