hi ok i am wanting to cut just my top buds and leave my bottom buds to grow longer to get bigger. my question is how far down do i cut do i cut the stem down to the next bud site i wont to keep or do i leave the stem above the next bud site thanks for the reply

I wouldnt do it.... just wait...it will be worth it...If you must i would find a small cola( i think thats what its called) and just cut the whole thing off.
Im no expert but cutting off part of a bud may stunt the plant.
peace

yeah, i really wouldn't cut it off either. the only time i've done it is when i've grown outside and the top buds are definitely done but the lower ones aren't. Otherwise, I would leave them. it'll be worth it...i promise.

thanks thats whats happening to the tops are done and i wont the bottom buds to get more light to get bigger so i need to know exactly where to cut the top buds at.

i would wait if the bottom buds are not ready.
if the bottom isnt ready then the top wont be?.

how big is your plant
how long did you vegg?
and flower for?.
also what strain?.

if you pick to early the buds wont be good.

plus you cannot harvest till you flush for 2 weeks min.

have you flushed?.i would wait a few weeks.
but they are your plants.

also have you got any pics?.

tie the tops to sticks so light can get to the lower buds.
just wait, the buds at the top wont go off, just stronger.
if a plant is supp to take 8 weeks.
you could easy goto week 11/12 with no bother.
just makes the plant better.
dont belive everything you read on the packet, it always takes longer than it says.

I dunno if the flushing thing ur talking about with hydro or soil....but ive heard that you dont need to flush for 2 weeks only 1 or not at all.
(im probly wrong but thats just what i heard)

dont talk stupid, of course you have to flush.
when you feed, food builds up in the plant,buds and soil.
this is not good to smoke.
you need to flush for 2 weeks.
you wouldnt stick a cig in nutes then smoke them .
would you?..

dont need to flush.
