View Full Version : Trimming swollen buds on stem during flowering

So there are quite a few swollen buds with orange hairs on the stem of my plant and it almost seems like they're sucking up a lot of good stuff for the rest of that node. As if it's like a buffer that lets things in and out.

If I cut them off would it somehow initiate a physiological response to the rest of the plant to release certain hormones that promote or urge flowering on even faster. Like, would cutting them off, trimming, stimulate the plant to grow more buds.

I came to this hypothesis thinking that when you cut off the main cola the rest of the branches below go crazy with growth..

when the crystals grow on the buds it looks like frost... hence freeze... when the crystals start to frost the bud the bud freezes...
