top flowers? cut or not to cut...
ernest_twwganswered grow question 3y ago
It's an option, for sure. If they are finished and all the trichomes on the top buds are at least cloudy, snip them off and start drying them. I have a friend that does this and his plants handle it just fine. He snips any buds when they are finished and lets the others keep going until perfect, until his plant is harvested.
I hope this helps.

High Loganchan,
You can cut the lowest 30% from your plants... You want the plant to focus her energy on the big fat buds on top of the plant.
Happy Growing! 😋
