Early cuts are weak and harsh; late cuts lean sedative but are still potent. The best answer: hit your target ratio and skip the compromise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Can you harvest the top buds of a plant first?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Yes, and we often do. Tops ripen under stronger light, while lower branches can trail by a week or two. Take the mature colas, then let the lowers finish. Keep monitoring trichomes on each zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>How long does the ideal harvest window last?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Generally 3–10 days, depending on phenotype and environment.
