My brother turned me on to doing a partial harvest. He said that the top branches of his plant were maturing faster than lower
branches. So, rather than chop down the entire plant - he removes the top 3 or 4 ripest branches and leaves the rest of the plant
to continue flowering a week or more. I did notice that when you look at trichomes to determine ripeness that tris at the top of the plant also ripen
earlier.
