well you know when the plants stems start to have little leaves sprouting off of them? I just pulled those off and eventually pulled off the preflowers and then flowers and then they stopped coming back. The main thing you have to do it make sure you prune enough to make it worth it for the remaining buds. As of now, I have 15 separate buds, ranging from 4 inches to 2 inches, all are rock hard and thick, good luck, hope you got something outta this rambling.
