Harvesting the top half of a plant , & leaving the lower for more...Worth it or not??

hi guys.....i am a New grower...my style is dwc......i let my plants get way to tall befor i put them into bloom, therefore they are way too big to allow light to penetrate to the bottom....

so i am wondering if it is worth it to harvest the top half of a plant, and leave the lower half under light to continue to develop......will the buds continue to grow if i do this.....or will the plant be so stunted that no further growth will occur..

thanks for any advice in advance!

Yes - you could do that to ripen lower buds further. Think it would be even better to just grow more smaller plants.

What he said

let em grow and add some side lighting

thanks brimi....yes...it was definitely a mistake to let them get so tall...next time i wont veg so long!! rookie mistake!

yes normally indoors you want smaller plants because light penetration into the inner canopy is slim, therefore increasing the tops/colas/heads that everyone wants, and its is much more efficient. like a SOG, SCROG. Indoors if u want tall ones do a little LST for more light to inner buds, like a vine.
