So i got a quick question before i pick my first lady...... so i was wondering would it be coo if i chopped down the top buds that are the largest and ready to go and then keep the bottom branches and buds 2 weeks extra to gain mass??? should i add nutrients to the water for the remaining buds?? any help would do alot???? thanks

well as long as you flush the remaining bud before you harvest it its all good.
but yeah harvesting part of the plant first is perfectly legit.

i will be doing the same feeling for density and only taking the fattest nugs off the tips of most branches at the top and leaving the under canopy to fatten up like boulders =)
i may use nutes for a week then flushin the final week or so depending what is needed pretty much any bud that is attached to a fan leaf thats yellowing is a selectable bud as you know its started sapping the nutes out the leaves for the finish also try this put more soil in your pot so it covers the bottom 4 branches these wil form roots and when you harvest if you revert the light back to 18-6 or 24 and you will have 4 pre rooted clones that just need cutting off the plant and planting so you will get 5 strong ass clones for your next flower and will only take like 8 weeks cause your roots will allready be huge

A lot of people chop of the tops and then switch the plant back to 24/0 and go back to their veg nutes for about 4 weeks then switch back to 12/12 and get another load of colas from the same plant.
They may not be as big but still cool and smokable.
Add the veg nutes at 1/2 strength in the first week.

As far as i know you can get away with doing this about 3 times if you are lucky maybe 4 after that the plant will usually herm out if you try it more than this.
Some strains will herm out the first time so be aware of that and don't blame me if it does:blsmoke:
