I don't know if cutting the small buds off will make it finish sooner, but it will cause the plant to direct more energy into those top colas, resulting in an increase in size and weight. If you stress out the plant real bad, then yeah, it will finish sooner, but this is probably not something you want to do.
Blaze21 Reviewed by Blaze21 on . Pruning a Big plant small in order to Finish? I have a Big plant outside that has been flowering for 12+ weeks, the smaller buds on the plant are almost done but the large cola's still have a month. I've been cutting off the smaller buds so the large one's will finish faster. So is it true that cutting cutting my plant smaller will cause it to finish faster? It makes since to me, less fruit to finish means it should finish faster right? Rating: 5
