ok, i got a mate who will harvest some of his crop 2 weeks prior to when it is actually ready. his reasons are for securety, so he has something even if he does get ripped off. i had a thought tonight that if you do this wii the bud thats still on the plant be more potent or larger than if you hadnt taken some? (stressed plant putting more into the bud it has lrft) or would it actually be worse off?

Yea if you sneak bud off your plant it could stress it (depending on maturaty) and yes the bud you come back and harvest later (depending on how long) will be stronger... Some prople only harvest 1/3 of their plants at a time and let it recoop and harvest again, not sure if the bud gets stronger and stronger in this case though.

It seems to me (when i punes my plants by cutting the bottom foliage so the light can be focused on the top) it take about 3-5 days for the plants to recover sometimes more, the younger they are the faster they recover, never cut that late into life cycle though... cutting not good... it willl definately be a noticable difference in the mature/immatue weed...

Good luck, let us know how it taste!!!
