What to do with unripe buds

I just harvested and have a lot of unripe buds that were under the scorg net and others that the jungle covered up. What do you guys do with them. They are not covered in stripper glitter either but have orange hair trichomes are clear and cloudy with a dot gold here and there.

They’re good for making canna butter. Next time try to stagger your harvest so you end up with all nice ripe buds. There’s no law that says you have to cut everything at once, just harvest what looks ripe and let the rest go a few more days.

How would you slow down growth in your veg stage so you could finish out the rest in flower stage??

You can’t really slow down growth, but you can do things like topping which will keep the plants shorter so they don’t get to tall.

Is there like a a rule of thumb on how many times you can top i have done it twice. I was not expecting almost 11 weeks in flower for the white widow.

As long as it’s not an autoflower, no, you can do all sorts of weird stuff to them. Consider what people do to create a manifold/mainline - topping twice, defloating everything but the top nodes twice, combining that with LST to make the manifold, etc. Anyway I hope you can because I manifolded a plant 3 months ago and I’m in the same boat as you - waiting for the flower tent to clear out. I topped all the tops twice, which are all producing alternating nodes, of course… I’ve had to do that to keep her from the lights.

You can keep topping as many times as you like. As long as it’s a photo and not an auto, you can also try super cropping which will stunt the plant for about a week.

I just toss the dinky buds in with my trim, which I dry, decarb and infuse into oil for baking edibles.

You can top as many times, just know the more you top, the more it spreads out the bud production, there is a point of diminishing returns as well.

These were 15 inches and 13 inches

thats a smart thing to do wow i never even thought of that

What does manifolded plant mean

It where you bend the stalk and make grow sideways to fill out a net or trellis or what ever you are growing on so you don’t waste any space
