Selective Cola Harvesting Question

I have a multi strain scrog going and the colas are getting close to ripe on a couple of them and I want to chop in the next couple weeks but under those are a whole bunch of other buds that are quite obviously not anywhere near ready to be cut. My question is can I chop the tops and let the rest of the plant continue to flower or is it likely to hermie due to cutting the tops?

It could hermie, if it's a sensitive strain. Multi harvesting is a good idea though. You'll improve your harvest drastically.

Either way the plant will need some recovery time. Cut the ones you gotta and let the rest grow out.

Ya I Was Wondering How Long The Plants Go Into Shock For And If This Is Even Worth It ? Anyone ? I Would'nt Bother If The Plant Goes Into Shock And Takes Forever To Grow Feel Me?

Growing with t5? Just harvest what you have, and leave the rest. It won't hermie or nothin, it will just grow out the other buds.

I did it last year with a few plants I had to finish indoors due to nosey neighbors,1 of the plants took forever to finish,I had plenty of smoke so it didnt matter,dont cut the shade leaves off though

I harvested 90 percent of one of my plants and it is still doing fine. All that was left was a seed branch and most of the fan leaves.

Even if it did hermie it wouldnt matter. By the time the balls were ripe enough to open, the colas will be done (3-4 weeks)
