On autoflowers, can i harvest just the top cola and buds and leave the lower buds to mature and/or grow larger? I did it once with an outdoor photo-period grow and those lower buds ended up being the best out of the entire grow. My blue himalayas are close to harvest - the top cola and upper buds are large & hard but the lower buds are wee & fluffy. Since these little ladies are only 15" tall, i would like to harvest as much bud as possible (obviously). Not sure if the smaller size and grow periods prohibit that in autos.
 
Yes, that works fine with autos.
 
thats one of the questions that was floating around in my head:confused: for a while, thanks crush for asking the question:thumbs:and thanks muddy for the answer we both wanted to hear.........lol
 
Excellent! thanks for the quick responses - in the short time i've been here on AFN you guys have saved me so much time & money since i don't have to figure everything out through trial and error. I luv me some AFN!:thumbs:

I like to think of a plant as a little energy distribution system. If you chop off a cola, a bud, a leaf, any energy that would have otherwise gone to that part is now redistributed to the rest of the plant as it continues to grow. :peace:
