I'm no scientist but I'm pretty sure that wont work at all.
It would be like cutting you off at the ankles and expecting you to regrow the rest.
That being said, there are ways to harvest and not kill off the plant, but I don't know enough to give you any advice on that sorry. Have a look around the search function of the site, its full of good info

just think of it as reversal of cloning. instead of waiting for roots to grow, you are waiting for new shoots. i did an experament with a spare little unhealthy'er plant and i cut all the growth off except the top two leaves. it took about 3 weeks to show new growth starting to form.

Because I've blackened the sun,
And I've bloodied the moon.
I bring gloom when I step in the room,
With the fumes of a tomb.
flowers bloom when Im taken away

It depends on if you left a node. If you cut it below the bottom node, then the plant cannot grow back. If there is still a node on it and it is not given a 12+ hour dark cycle it should revert to vegging and grow a branch out the node in 4-6 weeks.
