new gowth???

i have a plant that is like a month into the flowering stage..
the lower portion is budding okay...kinda small tho..
but the top half is starting to grow more...
its like bud then new shoots.
the lower bud's crystals are already super cloudy...
is there a way i can harvest the lower half n still keep the top half growing???

Of course you can.

Just make sure to leave enough attatched fan leaves per bud site and it will continue to ripen.

but what about flushing??
wont the plant frog out or sumthing???
if i use molasses will that keep her from killin the fan leaves???

When you flush you are just trying to get rid of any excess nutrients in the growing medium. The plant does not need those to survive, it will actually get all it needs from the light source and use the rest of the nutrients it has stored in the root ball, stem, and fan leaves.

You can feed it mollasas but it will not really make a difference this late into flower.

Just clip the buds that you think are done and leave the ones that are not, it's really just as simple as that man

ooooooooo!
thanks for thee advice!~
the buds on it now are small as fuck... kinda embarresed to post some pics!
i had little light source for them at first, but i aquired more bulbs.
will the new shoots grow better or come out the same as the first ones??

heres a pic of how the crystals look... think i need a week or so to let it ripen more..

Not an expert but in the future you might wanna clip off the small lower buds that dont get much light.
Two pluses from that, you wont get tiny popcorn buds like the pic and it will allow the plant to focus its energy on the main buds at the top.

There is no way your plant is even close to being ready, not even the lower popcorn. Generally (especially indicas) plants need at least 8-9 weeks flower time. That time does not include the 1-2 weeks of waiting for pre flowers. Flower time starts when the pre flowers show and then it is 8-9 weeks out from there.

Your plant may have an issue. WHat is the ph? What are you feeding them? how often? and the npk ratios?

haha i was looking at that when i said month...
its probably more like a month n a half..

yeah, the lower buds havent actually had that much light on them...
thats why i made room in there..

oh n i think the only issue is that i only had 2 23 watt cfl's for 7 plants in there for a while...
i know... stupid move..
but i now have 3 pants,one in dwc 30 clippings on their way, 3 outdoors...

my box is now running 5 cfl's n a computer fan...
upgrading as soon as i can cut up a new metal locker.

im unaware of the ph levels of my water..
nutes:schultz plant food 10-15-10
tap water(seems to be duing okay..)
the occasional aquafina(shitload of bottles sitting there)
once every other day..
straight water or molasses mix every other day..

you think theres ant chance of these popcorns fattening up???

All i have to say is paitence is a virtue go with the natural cycle of the plant. when its had enough flowering time it will show you when its ready. A good indicator for harvest time is when half the tric's are amber and the other half are cloudy. The average plant (assuming theres no problems) will take 15 weeks from seed to smoke. how many weeks you been growing?

fuckin long already!!!
i vegged them for like a month n a half..maybe 2 months...
idk why...
some clones are 10-15 days old...
some are fresh off the tree..
half rooted...
the one in dwc is 3 weeks???
i chopped her top cuz she stretched too much..
then i decided to try cloning..
after u cut her she frogged out n stopped growin for a while...
bt now shes good!

hey has anyone tried the 300 watt equivalent cfl???
its like 15 bones here but i can prob. get it fo free!!!
