Cut the tops and let the rest grow?

I will be ready to harvest in 10 days. Would it be a good idea to cut all the main colas and let the rest of the plant flower for an extra week. Or would it just be better to get the next crew of girls started.

If you cut the colas and put the plant back in, the lower buds will ripen and put on some weight. Whether or not you should do it is your call.

...personally, I think it's a waste of time and space. I would invest in some bubble bags and throw those popcorn buds in with your trim and make some kill bubble hash.

..at least thats what I do. I've let smaller buds go for 2 weeks after the chop and didn't see much if any change. ..if they're not getting that light from the beggining of flower then they won't fatten up.

Like Mongo said. They don't seem to change even if you lower the light.
