Thanks again hogbud!
So a bract is where a flower will be??
kinda curious what will become of it. will it grow larger? remain dormant? swell with resin? or just remain, doing absolutely nothing. Do you know?

So... Should I take the scissors to them or are they good to have? Will it drain my plants nutrients for nothing?
