not necessarily bigger buds, makes it shorter making for more bud sites from side branches. cut during early or mid veg or when plant has at least 6 nodes,never during flowering. u could also bend the plant without cutting and train the main stem to grow horizontally letting the branches do the main growing
nah im talking about during flowering, you snip the tips . just a technique ive read about will expierement soon
go outside. find a rose bush or something. locate the flower. cut the top half off. make sure to cut the pistols and such. give it a couple days. whatever happens there will be what happens to your bud. 50 bucks says the flower doesnt like it.
