    Don't listen to these haters. I'm sure NOBODY here has ever tried this.


    You might be on to something. Give it a shot and let us know if your buds are larger. :thumbs-up:

    You're right Joe, never tried it. Just doesn't make sense to me to limit leaf size....but if he wants to give it a go I'll watch.

    Now which leaf tips are we talking about here? The huge fan leaves, or the crystally ones near the top?


    Ive heard of pinching the stem, but never leaves.

    It does not sound right to me.


    I can not see how it would make them bigger.


    I have heard of stressing the plants for more thc like he mentioned. Have to cut alot of leaf to stress it.


    Weed is already strong as fuck. What ya need to stress it for and possibly fuck it up.


    Leave leaves alone!

    The ONLY time I've ever seen anything like this were clones that someone cut the leaves in half to allow the clone more energy to grow roots instead of supporting the unneeded leaf tips.


    I'm not sure if I agree or disagree. I've never tried it. Maybe next round of clones.:ponder:

    Aw shucks! Everybody knows pinching leaves wont make big buds. To make BIG buds, ya gotta dance naked under a full moon, spin counter-clockwise and chant, "COME ON BIG BUDS!" over and over until you fall down. Jeeez....Everybody knows that..... I dont know where y'all get these crazy ideas....
