i have a plant tha has been flowering for 11 weeks...it has had some bumps and bruises along the wayand it has not changed bud size in a week...MY questions is??? can i cut the buds which look done and leave the others to finish?
Most of that plant probably is not ready yet, but YES - you can harvest the buds that are ready for it and leave the rest to mature a bit. It's very common and i do it almost every time with some of the lower branches - also to get an early sample ;O))
hairs or trichomes? hairs are not a good indicator of if its ready or not. Yes you can do what you asked, but like everyone said those got a ways to go still.
