Hi Max, wellll,,,,,I got desperate as they are almost touching lites, even though lights are not hot they r warm.....soooo,,,I squeezed the stem anout 3rd node down and bent it over...well, it worked for 2 of the stems and the 3rd one I did snapped...it didn't break all the way thru but it did break the skin. so I will see.... I just had the scare of my life,,,,a man came to feont door, and looking thru peep hole I could see he had a badge out ready to show to me,,,I opened door midway and he asked if he could come in and discuss my neighbor next door as she was applying for a govt job........I told him without letting him in that I didn't know her very well and he left...I watched as he went door t door on our street..his badge said United States department of (something),,,I don't even remember what it said.........soooo, I am seriously hoping he is for real and not just checking me out......I have bought everything from ebay, but the purchases in the comment section says private so peeps cant see what I bought....I am praying he was on the level.....at 65 yrs old my heart couldn't take anymore of these visits. any way, I am hoping that my plant will continue to bud out. I looked thru a magnifying glass(jewelers loupe) and can see all the little bubbles of oil or whatever on the leaves and buds. thank you so much for the tutorial. I am just a fraidy cat, I guess.....I am just so desperate to grow to use for my 24/7 back pain, and depression...........I cant thank you and this site enough for your help.....even though it is in the popcorn stge do you think it will finish up budding O.K? after I bent over the 3 stems....???
