Is it possible to cut the top half of the plant for the main cola??

Im experienceing pm and its only on top right now very little but i was thinking can i cut the main cola out and leave the popcorn nugs to get bigger??? Or the plant will die once i cut the rop half??
Please help with some advice thank you

Realisticly cutting away all the growth outside of the main stem would redirect all the energy into what's remaining and it'll thrive. However I can't speak from experience. It's an idea. Since lots of people remove all the lower flowering locations that don't produce, I can't see why your idea wouldn't work. The question is how much stress will that cost on the plant and is there enough fan leafs remaining to keep the plant going. Post a pic of what your working with.

GL!

You can cut the main cola and the plant will live just fine. Last grow, I had a Critical Jack Herer that was so tall I had to harvest the main cola three weeks before the rest. I stuck a stem from a fan leaf in the hole. Didn't miss a beat.

IDK about mildew but you might want to correct that before it gets the rest of your buds.
Good luck, she'll be fine.

I've often seen that be a suggestion to allow the lower buds to mature more, so I doubt it would completely kill the plant. But, it would, I'm sure, matter (1) how much of the plant you remove, and (2) how much longer til harvest you have, in an inverse relationship.

Cheers and good luck!

I chopped a clone in half that was too spindly. It worked just fine. I turned it from a 12 inch twig into a bush.

nah, it won't die. might stress it some.....but won't kill it

I like the idea. Use everything else as clones and flower the main stem!

Yea i only got about two weeks left,
But obv id rather take the nice main cola wich is top halff pf the plant. The plant is about 24 inches so im cutting away half that.
Also i cut a few fan leaves off that had pm on it. But still got about 6-8 more.
I appreciate u guys helping me out.
Happy blazing

WTF?????? Why cut it at all? Cure the PM!!!
Horse Tail grass tea! Look it up on the net, get some,,,,kill the PM and keep going! Good to use right up until harvest day! Organic! WORKS!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yep, if you have powdery mildew, you have powdery mildew, gotta cut the snakes head off, not just poke it with a pitch fork.
