someone tell me if this is a dumb idea

so i have some autoflowering plants going this cycle to test them and see how they are and i have found my biggest problem is getting light to penetrate to the buds lower because the main cola is rotund and block alot of the light....we'll i have looked at the main cola and cliped some off to see the trichomes and they are about 50 50 amber and milky with a few clear thrown in there but the lower buds still have all white hairs and mostly clear trichomes.....So what im wondering is if i can chop the cola off and proceed to dry it whilst the rest of the plant finishes in a week or so


tell me if this is stupid
criticism welcomed

i have actually heard that this does work as long as you dont take too much off the plant i believe it will keep growing

yeah im only talking about removing the main cola to give the rest of the plant good light to finish out the cycle...

so no one has any comments on this topic?

Do it. The worst that could happen is you realize in a couple days it didn't work and you have to harvest the rest.

Never grown an auto plant personally, but as runof said what do you have to loose.

i went ahead and did it and im actually pretty happy i did. the lower part of the plant seems to like the extra light and i got a fat nug a little early =) so it all worked out
