Hey, I have some buds which seem to have some light stresses at the tips. I have seen somebody somewhere cut these tips off and cal it back building.. I'm have just started week 7 and wondering if I should do that on the tip pictured?

If anybody has experience in this technique it would be great to hear your experience!

I would, I've done it, won't hurt a thing, and leaving it on there will be a mold magnet!

I don't remember, but it was pretty late in flower, in my case they were hitting the plastic on the roof of an outdoor greenhouse and browning the tips.

Looks like LED bleaching on that near cola, I would pull the lights up a few inches.

Best to scrog to get an even canopy.

Yeah definitely am looking into that for next grow. Was thinking net or maybe a ring with quad lining it something.
