^ you can absolutely harvest only the buds that are ready, and leave the rest to mature.

i usually give my plants a 3 day darkness period then harvest. i also water them one last time, plain water no mollasses or anything, when the lights come on on the day before 3 day period to wet my medium. by the end of the dark period, with my soilless mix being very light and faster draining than most other ppl, im usually watering every other day to every day by that time, so after those three days they are pretty thirsty. i believe the added stress of the medium drying out stimulates the resin production as a defense mechanism in the plant, also creating more trichomes. as far as hydro is concerned, i wouldnt have a clue since ive never grown hydroponically.

beautiful plants, btw.

double edit~ i just realized this thread is two weeks old. so absynth, wadya decide on?
