yet another "can i chop this" thread.

[endlesslyonline]

I planted 4 plants about 2month's ago. (once again, did not document my grow .. Grrr)

2 plants growing strong, 2 went into early flowering. 1 of those seems to be revegging now. The other one, which this thread is about, still continued to flower.

All leaves on the plant was severely damaged, still not sure what from. So there is not a single full leave on it, dunno if this could contribute to the problem. So i am thinking of chopping this one early. I know potency and yield will be severely affected. Not to concerned about that. I mostly wanna find out:

1) is it useless to harvest now? I know about the loupe method, but according to expert eyes. Is this gonna be completely useless, to harvest now, or will it just be a less potent and smaller? (i actually like the buzzed feeling more than a fully fledged high). I see absolute no progress in the plant on the flower side nor the reveg side.

2) if i just harvest the fruit, will there be a possibility that those lower branches will grow again, or should i kill it off?

Here is the pics. Could not get very good close ups though

They are outdoor plants? What is the amount of daylight right now?

Looks like insect feasting.

I have copped a buzz from buds more immature than that in your pic. As the flowers mature they take on different characteristics, the compounds start to deteriorate and produce different effects.

I harvest in stages, mature flowers get cut and I leave the rest to mature...I chop when the buds are ready and have experienced no ill effects to the plants when the harvest is spread across two weeks.

Yah yah i know! I created a excel spreadsheet, set up sync between my camera and pc gor pics. Installed apps on my phone ... But to lazy to document. Everytime i do something i tell myself i will remember this amd add it tomorrow, and when i look again i dont know if my plants are 2 weeks or 2 months old!

Oops forgot to say, yes outdoor plants. Sunrise as of today is 5:08 and sunset is 18:53 which gives u 13hrs+ but its shaded in the area till round 11 and gets shaded again at 17:00. Dunno of the shade can be messing around?

Looks like insect feasting.

I also suspect insects although alot of ppl say insects wont do that amount of damage. Bit its in a residential area, so i know for a fact there is no rabbits, deer or bears

Thx. I think i will let this count towards my learning curve, and harvest this one and see how she holds up. No harm in trying, right?

And if i harvest the whole plant but leave the bottom few leaves, will she keep growing? Or will it be to much for her to recover from

Thx alot for taking time to read and answer

"And if i harvest the whole plant but leave the bottom few leaves, will she keep growing? Or will it be to much for her to recover from."

One way to find out!!!

If you cut too much off it probably will kill her.
