Finshing outdoor plants inside

Hey riu. What if one were to cut a branch off a close - to - harvest plant and bring it home then placed it in a glass of water (after recutting the stem). Would trichomes continue to develop? I think they would - to an extent. What do you think?

To a very small extent...cutting a branch off will be extremely stressful the cutting. It will use what energy it has to stay alive and form roots. Although a cutting from a plant late in flowering probably wont even be able to grow roots anymore...

From what I understand processes inside the plant continue so long as there is liquid water present in the cells. I figured a few days in water might help with an early harvest. Hours would stay the same as well.

You could try to graft the branch. But then again, the plant is already so close to death, would it even continue to develop? A clone can only draw from the remaining leaves to survive, as it developes roots. It doesn't draw through the cut stock. IMO, I would say don't do it.
