LA's Quick Guide To Simple Backbuilding Technique For Buds!

[Light Addict]

Hey my friend. If done at the half way point or just after as I have always done then your colas should still be quite pointy in form. This makes the snip easier to judge. The trick is to be cutting at eye level. Then you see the tiny bit pop up between the blades and snip!
I think you will be fine as I'm sure I've miss cut ones in the past. I get quite quick and lazy once doing loads of sites. its just the technique does need that center stem tip removed for the buds to really recognize and react.

Hope that helps some my friend.

It does help. I'll just have to do as well as I can. Thanks so much LA.

For not seeing try going to your local pharmacy and trying on the highest power magnifying reading glasses they have, does that help?

 

[wildjim]

Yea, I tried that, but magnification isn't the problem. Think Glaucoma and nearly blind. I only have 2 shaky hands and need 3 to do it all. I'll get it done tho. I am a turtle. Oki-Ni-kso-ko-wa!

So what did u think OG? Did it improve your weight? Bigger buds etc?

 

[OttawaGreen]

In the last ten minutes I have seen only minimal growth ;-)

It definitely worked for me. I had a White Widow that produced heavy thick buds.

It's a mandatory technique for all of them now.

I'm on day 53 of flower, did this back around 41 or 42 and I haven't compared the ones I've back built to the ones I haven't. Once I see something worth mentioning I'll leave my .02 here and encourage others to give it a shot.

Just harvested a Purple Danish the other day. While I could trim this down to some smaller buds, I thought this was a bit more impressive. This is a 5.7 gram bud from the top of one of the 2 main branches. This plant was only 24 inches tall, but had 1.2 oz on it.

Worked for me too

LA, thank you for posting this tip. Assuming that I get some decent buds, I fully intend to employ this technique. It'll be a while though, I just saw the first baby flowers forming 5 days ago lol.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge about growing this plant. I've learned a lot from your posts and threads on this website.

Thanks loads for being so nice as to say so!

I appreciate it too, buds seems bigger overall. That is quite the weird mini fox tails look though...
