Not all the buds on my plants are ready to be harvested at the same time. Some buds on a plant are clearly ready to be harvested, while others need a week or so more before harvest. Can I cut the stems with the mature buds and allow the remaining buds to mature? Will this damage the plant and prevent the remaining buds from maturing? I am first time grower. Help !
