Staggered harvest

Anyone had much experience of staggered harvesting. Got some plants with quite a lot of underdeveloped buds towards bottom of plant. Was thinking of taking top buds off but have been advised in the past that they dry too fast and best to take whole plant... Thanks

Take the best and leave the rest to get fatter and riper. Trim the buds up and put about 100g of them in doubled up paper bags somewhere cool and dark even a fridge but it'll stink that up. Shake out every day to gently loosen up clumps and air dry for 30 min for the first week to prevent mould happening. Take the wt at the start and once the buds feel drier but still fairly moist check how much wt is lost daily and once it's 1g/day loss time to jar up and start burping. If you do it right it can take up to 4 weeks to get to the g/day point and another 4 to burp it down to ready to smoke and it'll be smooth as hell. Won't be green either because the real cure is in the first part where all the chlorophyll and starches get broken down and that's something that won't happen in even a week of hang drying.
