Around week 4 is when to pinch

All u need to take off is literly just a small pinch. What I do is use tweezers and just pull off a small peace off the top

Hows ur bud responding to the swelling over the non swelled bud?

She had shown signs of distress by sucking the nutes from the surrounding leaves I will know more when the light comes back on

She will stress abit but in a couple days she recovers keep me updated on ur findings

I feel as this is working the bud looks slightly fatter than the surrounding buds I'll know in 3 days

Thanks. I just did some searches on bud swelling and found a couple videos on bud building which is similar but they just snip off the tops with scissors. I just passed week 2 on my second grow so I'll try this in a couple of weeks.

I am not having any conclusive results i have 2 to 4 weeks left but as of right now I just have 1 bud looking not as good as the rest. I will update later I hope this works. If not it is fine lots more buds.

Can u post some pics on which ones are swelled and not swelled?

Sorry tyler_ hobbyist I should have posted sooner I took these pics last night.

I will not do this again it has made my plant distressed. And not in a good way. I am wondering if this is because I run a very low nute ratio.
It's interesting because of the distress the fan leave are getting sucked dry. But because of the scrog it' looks funny because it's here and there but if u follow the arms back they are coming from the same node.

I have supercroped every plant except this 1 and had good results from it.
but this is the kind of distress that may be killing off the infected area and promoting in other areas.

good experient i will never stress a flower again.

Im sorry it hasnt worked for u I have also noticed that I had to increase my nutes as well maybe because the stress makes the flowers drink more im not sure but once I increased the nutes I didnt have any issues
