No. Also your lighting set-up is lacking.
Be prepared to chop that single cola and let the rest of the plant finish.

They are looking mostly clear mixed with cloudy. Get a 30x+ loupe or microscope and if you see mostly cloudy trichromes then that means you are ready.

I didnt know i could do that. all the lower heads are pathetic.
So i chop off the main cola and lower the light and let the rest of the plant keep growing?

It is Silver Haze and it has been flowering for about 8 1/2 weeks now.

Is there any special way to cut it to cause less stress to the plant. ?

I was agreeing with ruudong. I am considering topping one of mine. It is late enough in the process and I have read that it is a pretty common practice. Those lower buds would definately benefit.

I have looked every where for a 30x loupe...can't find any locally...only online....I live in a major city, so one would figure I could find it at a store.
What kind of stores would sell them? photo shops, head shops, grow-op stores....none seem to have loupes.
PS; I have a 150x USB microscope....don't like it as it's only as good as your video card & monitor

I am using a 125w CFL. This is my first grow, next time i am going to put it into flowering much earlier from what i understand it will be a smaller plant but i will get larger heads and a over all larger yeald.
just search e bay [h=1]pocket microscope or 30xloupe[/h]in the search box you will see loads of them for very cheap

I see a mix of cloudy amber and very little clear...calaxes are swollen...very few white hairs....if ur "wanting" to chop that top bud I'd say ull b OK....should smoke good....leave ur lowers n push em up to the light or bring the lights down on em as if they were the new top of the plant....which it will b....but if ur not "needing" to chop let the top go another week...10days maybe...then chop top n light up lowers

No...training can increase yield...flowering earlier isn't ur best option...learn abt lst/topping n fimming..... n w cfls ur set up should surround the plant w light....View attachment 2503218View attachment 2503221View attachment 2503222

If you don't want to order a 30x loupe online, try a jewelry supply store & even craft stores have them, I see them there all the time. One of the advantages of being a girl I guess. 
I hope my girls turn out as nice as yours!

im impressed! you did that with only a 125w CFL?? your the man lol. now if you grow squat little bushes and get a hid your gonna be flying along. as far as the cut, it doesn't matter really. if it was out doors, you should always cut on a angle so water cant sit there and rot. cortisone cream for cuts works amazing to heal stem wounds to btw.. what was your final harvest in weight? great job agian of that lil light!
