Default Cutting top Cola

So I read on a thread and it was unanswered that once the plant is ready to harvest, could you cut the top cola off, and dry and cure that while you keep growing the rest of the plant to bulk up? Meaning cut of the top when its done, so then the rest of the plant will bulk up?

Im a newbie, so tell me if this is a big no no or what.

but has anyone tried it?

nope, unless you have some immaculate set up usually the bottoms don't get as much light and sometimes take a little longer..

If you think the top is ready, chop that shit and let the rest grow, no biggie..

just cut it and keep an eye on the lower buds the will tell you when they are ready, no way anyon can say if it is 1 week or two, but thats probably close. It's a bit late to be worryig about balls, you'll be fine.

If it did not grow balls yet and the main kola is ready Its not going to grow them , cut it and dry and cure .. Just watch whatever you left on the plant, and when they are done cut them.. Its a cut and dry issue ..

Yeah, a lot of people do it, there's nothing wrong with it, just some people I guess wait for the big jackpot prize at the end, to see your entire harvest is something else..
