    It's not something I'd recommend unless you can afford to have the downfall . Like I said I've tried it and it worked . So the next batch I snipped the tips off them all and everything grew bananas . Then after speaking with four or more experienced growers . It came to light it was the back building that had caused this . Stopped snipping stopped growing bananas . IMHO you need a real hardy plant that doesn't suffer from stress to do this successfully . Quite a few methods of LA's are out there and the flux works but at the same time causes massive amounts of stress . Where a good mainlined plant has the same effect but without the massive amount of stress . It's a gamble I'm not prepared to take

    I sort of did this with a head that got burned on a lamp on my current grow so i chopped it off all it seemed to do is grow another head off that one

    Knowing this information I've been wondering if its worth doing? What do you guys think? Are you already doing it? If you've just heard about this would you consider doing it?

    Hopefully this technique can improve my grow???
    Gonna try this to my sensi skunk tonight 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👊🏼✌🏼️💚🔥
