Ok for details on the grow click link on sig...

So my first half are ten days older than first half.
I already seem to have atleast half o on each which was my goal.
They got 15 days left others have 25 days.
Also I picked 6 herms out so the first ones had some space.
Now where there isnt space some of the middle ones smothered lower buds.
The youngest 30 have no space this time. Im seeing smothering and the buds are really starting to form good.
So my delema.

Should I pull the first ones early not letting them reach full potential and allowing me to fan the other 30 out and reaching optimal growth.
I figure these ones have less smothering than others so others will do less if I keep them in but theyll max out better than the first ones ever could.
Also which would do more yeild letting the first ones max out and reducing younger ones yeild or chopping early and maxing out youngest yeild.

My opinion would be chop since they had less smothering and produced good. So the younger ones will be spread out better and will max out better then the first ones could resulting in better yield. Idk ...

Any and all opinions appreciated.

dude i seriously don't know SHiT but i know that if i were harvesting i would use a magnifying microscope or perhaps your camera could even do it, but use something to look at the color of the trichs of each individual bud themselves. i'm sure you already know this and are doing this... but i'm just saying, why not use some sort of magnifying device to tell which plant is ripe; and not too ripe. supposedly -- again just reiterating -- there is a certain time frame to harvest the girls when their trichs are a certain color, and i would just pull each plant--or perhaps even just certain buds themselves--that are at the maximum peak of perfection in cannabinoid production.
