Cutting half the plant if the top is ready but bottom isnt?

Can I cut the top half of my plant where the buds are fine and bring the light closer to the bottom buds that need some more time? Or should I let the whole plant go longer? Or do I cut the whole damn thing?

cut buts that are ready leave any others to mature

bump this back to begining i'd like to know this also!

I tried this on my first grow and didn't get much from it.... Of course I burned the shit out of the plants and made just about evey newb mistake there is.

Does any one do this on a regular basis with successful results??? I would love to know!

bump.......

you can see where i've been cuttin my girl up
the buds below get more light and get bigger

you have two threads on this.............. cut the top leave the bottom to finish
