I think If you can just snip the bud sight and not the branch it may help, because you don't want the plant focusing extra energy to try to develop a crispy bud. Let me see what I can do about getting an email addi to you. I will try to get a hush mail account, but it may take a day to acctavate it.
Let us no how the new bulb works, but be careful with the heat, it may not be worth the traid IMO.
Later dear Princess.
