hi, ive heard of people taking the top bud then leaving it a couple of weeks for the lower buds to fatten and mature. has any one tried it and does it work? also how long should i leave it between harvesting the top and bottom buds? any other information on how to do this would also be appreciated. thanks all

what you can do is chop off all the buds to a level plane then drop the light down to focus on al the buds that weren't getting so much light for a coupla weeks - puts a little bit more weight on em- not amazing or owt tho
forget this if you're growin outside

I have done it. Cut off top mature buds and leave bottom ones to fatten a bit and mature. I only did it cos I didn't have a new run of clones ready to go in.Couldn't quantify results but not amazing i would say.
Better use of bloomspace to put in new crop imo.

I've done this on both my grows, harvest the big main cola first and then drop the lights right down ontop of the lower branches.

Only thing is, it seems like the plant stops doing anything for a few days and then the lower ones start to mature again. So not sure how much it's worth doing.

yeh it worked with my strawberry cough, i cropped and my mrs was watering them as "they still have leafs" so i let her do them - her first grow, we got 2 full grows out of them!

oh yeah i also tryed it with my Orange candy floss, it didnt work the small buds just got fatter, not a full plant like the SC
