This is true but it pains me to clip a bud. Should I clip a towards the top of the canopy or the bottom (not the main cola but one of the tops of the other side shoots?? I can cut a bud off all the plants that appear to be close to ready and test them all.

What would you recommend. I didn't have too many trichs last grow (grew shwag seeds) so I could really press the bud against hte scope to see. bleh...

Looking forward to your recommendation otherwise I'll be clipping just 1 bud off my most 'ready' looking plant and trying to setup a quick dry to test.
