never seen any one manicure the plant before they kill it
its kind of hard on the plant when you do it that way
Good Luck

Looks like good shit, but to the naked eye it dont look ready, I agree, I wouldnt have trimmed it like that though. You may be best off to just harvest it now though, because of the butchering you did. It would probobly be good now, just not its maximum.

He trims them before he knows they are harvest ready? And if they have a chance to add weight, that is totally lost, im sorry thats a dumb idea. Your garden though, not mine.

my buddy trims his plants like that all the time and he grows sum bomb ass bud.

its not that it wont grow bud if you manicure like that.. its just a LOT harder on the plant and stresses it out.. it takes longer to flower also.. the leaves are on the plant to absorb light needed for growth and flowering... if you take those fan leaves away, it can't utilize as much light.. the less light is can absorb the slower plant functions are... add that in with the stress on the plant and you'll end up with longer flowering periods like you are experiencing... imho i would never cut leaves off before i harvest.. if the plant wants the leaves off they will come off naturally..

the bud looks good, but also looks like it could use another week or so to finish.. but you can harvest it now if you want.. should be just fine...

it was my buddy's plant and his dumb ass gave it a flower nute for sume stupid reason so he gave it to me to take care of it and by the time i got it, it was too late and i jsut continued flowering it. i think ill wait another week and see how it is, if it gets worse then ill plucc it.

Ive had tiny plants similar to that before, little bonzai trees, with deceiving yeilds, set the light right down on em, indica dominant of course.

Or you could just keep manicuring and smoking it from the bottom up? It's bound to get stronger the longer it's alive.
Kinda like a "live" stash.

PS-Not the way to grow buds, Bud.
