I was told to chop my top buds and leave the rest of the plant to grow. If so will they grow bigger. And can they be pollinated to make seeds. Sunday is harvest day it will be 8 weeks.
Can I chop down top buds and leave bottom to grow.

Yes u can harvest all ur good bud and keep the smaller flowers to grow into buds and you can pollinate them to, even if you do t have a male plant you can make the remaining plant turn hermie and they will self seed, I know coz I done it by accident before but I did get 9 female seeds out of the 22 so I done ok from it, usually 2 out of 5 seeds will be female. Good luck.

Exactly! Seeds from hermies are worthless!

Seeds from a true herm are what to worry about. Using colloidal silver to induce male flowers is not. And yes you can leave the lower buds longer. You wouldn't pull a whole tomato plant if half of them were ripe, you would pick the ripe ones. Use a scope on your tricomes. The tops usually ripen faster.

Take the single big bud and just under it will be 2 smaller buds...in a couple of weeks the 2 smaller buds will be good sized and can be cut.

So take the top bud from each branch

If the buds are big enough than yes indeed...lupe them and see if the trichs are cloudy.If you have more red hair and few white hair shoud be good,very little white hairs is good

Dude, producing worthy seeds from hermies takes a very long process of choosing the most stable, tolerant and reliable female plants. It's not like giving silver water and taking A grade feminised seeds! Your words are somehow misunderstanding.

Can collodial silver work the same on auto strains to produce auto

When they are used on auto plants, the plant reverts to manual and you have to shift it yourself.

No it doesn't. You plant the auto you spray early so it flowers first then pollinate the others so the seeds have time to develop.
Bull. If you have a stable female that is not prone to herming use it.
Yes now if I was shooting for uniform plants for sale purposes. Then you would follow the same steps as male/female selection.
Take any good female you like and spray it. It won't hurt.
