Can outdoor Colas finish indoors?

Pure sensi Sativa plants, in flower for three weeks, will not likely finish outdoors with the reduced temperatures and sunlight as we move into Fall and Winter here in Pennsylvania. So, can colas be cut off and finished indoors in a hydro solution or will this essentially stop any further ripening of buds to be their best?

Once you cut them from the plant they will die. As far as I know, they won't produce roots and keep growing as if they were still on the plant. If you can't bring the whole plant in, just chopping the colas won't help you I'm afraid.
If you can't bring the plants in, and you have space, lights, etc., you could clone them & grow the clones inside. Save you a bit of time as opposed to starting again from seed.

No you don't cut buds and bring them in .......that's why there's indoor and outdoor my friend You could clone like mentioned above or you could cover your girls outdoors to keep em out of the weather longer ...........next time do your homework on strains so you get something that will finish within your geographical grow period .....good luck

Back story:

This grow attempt was to experiment with my 20 yr old pure sativa seeds, of which I had hundreds, to "get my grow chops" back and Just to see if they would germinate. The results were far better than I ever expected from these mistreated seeds which have been in and out of the freezer a dozen times, placed on the counter top and forgotten about for years, being moved from one location to another and the basement in a container with other bag seeds.

I knew I was late by 7 weeks in getting them into the ground and had low expectations that they would prove viable. I was shocked that they took off as well as they did and I now have a dozen male and female plants, two of which are females I have moved inside to my grow tent (they are not thriving as well as they did outside). The vigor of one female, and one male in a separate area with less early sunlight have heightened my ambitions to get them to mate on several branches. Two nice colas are forming on the females and I wanted to fertilize one of them for seeds and let the rest of the plant continue to flower. Of course, transplanting is still my fail safe fall back position, but I thought while I still have acceptable weather I would see how far I can go with them outdoors.

All along I have taken over 100 cuttings from these sativas and have only one clone. They are damned near impossible to replicate themselves no matter what I try and still trying with 16 in an Octo-cloner, and another 27 in a vermiculite medium with a dome on the container they are in. I will continue trying other methods for getting clones from these plants.

So I did my homework knew this would be a huge gamble and came here to get any advice that might help to perpetuate a half dozen of them since the genetics are the only pure sativa I can be sure is not crossed.

I will cover them when the time comes if I have to and at the right time before we get into the 40s F, cut back the roots of the two females and the male to put into pots in the flowering tent equipped with 1000 HPS and 1000 MH.
