sometimes to much thinkin gets ya in trouble..lol..but this is a good question..it will prolly try to start re-vegging ...not sure if it will make the rest of the buds loose some potency tho...once the trics are there i dont think they will go away...ive done the method a lotta times where ya chop the top big cola's ect what ever ya want from up above and leave lower parts sill under 12/12 and those lower nugz will really bulk up over 2 er 3 more weeks since they gettin more light..GL
