can i regenerate a plant with the top buds of the plant? this plant only has one main stem with fan leaves and buds growing at the nodes. In the middle of flowering the top portion of the stem got accidentally chopped off and the two buds at the highest fan leaves grew out the stems pretty long and the buds never got very big even to the end of flowering so now the plant has a wish bone shape... now im ready to harvest and the nugs around the middle are the ones i wanna cut off because their big and let the top two nugs keep growing and grow two new long stems. usually when people regenerate a plant they cut off all the top nugs and leave some nugs that never got very long and small leaves at the bottom to grow into new long stems like topping almost but could this be possible with the two top nugs which are not very big now and are now growing long stems since the plant got topped in the middle of flowering?

Usually when I re-grow I harvest the plant the way you described. When I finish the plant kinda has a basketball shape --
all the greenery is concentrated around the bottom. But you can re-grow anything as long as there is enough green growth
to be able to use the water and nutes to regenerate. Be sure and leave enough of the fan leaves as you can. They are
vital for chlorophyll growth, no fan leaves no greenery.

NOTE -- A re-grow is asking a plant to repeat it's life cycle in the same pot. That's why I water re-grows every day with
water + nutes. Also, a tiny drop of Dawn detergent in every gallon of nute water helps the water disperse throughout the
dirt. Also II, the dirt in re-grows gets naturally compacted over time, so once a week I take a long bamboo skewer and
poke a dozen or so holes in the rootball around the plant. Helps water and oxygen get to roots.

Good luck, BigSteve.
