I never like to touch the buds while the plant is still growing.I was told the oils on ur hands will kill the bud you touch.Is there any truth to it??

Don't touch your buds your just damaging them. If you really want to smell your beauties without touching your buds here's how you do it.

Rub your fingers on the crystalized leafs that are close to the buds. Thats it !!

no, dont touch them jus for the sake of touching... but, if you first clean your hands and nails, you can pinch like 1/16 off the tops of ea bud and they are sappose to get bigger! one time ev 2 weeks...

I'm just going to quote two posts in here and leave you to figure it out.

Jonda, awesome pic man, but I wouldn't have to touch them to inspect mold, x-ray vision bro.

Booo. At least it didn't get worse though. That's a big cola to lose entirely. 2" is a pretty small dent in that thing hahah.

It's not topping to pull of the flower of the plant lol. Topping is when you remove the main growing shoot which has the largest concentration of growth hormones so the plant bushes out more. I have no idea what purpose it would serve to rip off the very part of the plant you aim to get the most of. It's not like the plant is going to replace it with two flowers...Just look at his other posts around here...
