5 weeks of flowering, should I trim more or let it go?

[Calhounkid]

These babies are huge IMHO at over ten feet. I lolipopped about 6 weeks ago and defoliated 2 weeks ago. All organic-composted all winter and just tilled and planted seeds may 1st. Only thing I added was hydrogen peroxide spray to deal with potential bud rot( it's been very humid here in central Illinois). Couple of questions:
1. Is there something wrong with small buds near bottom of canopy- should I remove?
2. should I thin out more?
3. Can I harvest in stages- harvest the top 3rd and smaller bus allowed to finish.

I surely appreciate any advice or observations in advance,
Thanks very much, Calhoun Kid

Beautiful garden.
If they are in the sun they will mature.
Anything in the shade will be larfy.
Good to make eatables with.

2. should I thin out more?

Looks like the big one gets full sun.
I do away with the larf especially in the shade.

3. Can I harvest in stages- harvest the top 3rd and smaller bus allowed to finish.

Yes.
Big plants are generally harvested in stages.
Unless you have a chainsaw and a boyscout troop to trim.

I surely appreciate any advice or observations in advance,
Thanks very much, Calhoun Kid

Great work my friend.

As a rule of thumb I don’t harvest white pistils.
When your girls are finished flowering the pistils will crinkle in and turn red.
I think you have a lot longer than 10 days my friend
I’d rethink your time line.
You have a month to 6 weeks before they are ready.
Please don’t chop yet

Will do Bill, should I do anything in the mean time? I've been misting with h2o2 every couple days to discourage bud rot. Should I defoliate or add any fert? Thanks again, Bill

Citric acid in water is better for bud rot & pm.
A gram/ litre of water with a little bit of safers soap.
SNS has a good bud rot product.
I’d get some cannabis specific nutrients high in P&K to boost flowering and bud production & Quality.
@Greenleaf Nutrients are good but what ever you have available will help.
Don’t remove anything else unless it’s damaged/ rot or pests.
If you start a journal we can help you finish and decide when to harvest.
