The buds on my plant are growing really well and are very responsive to fertilizers. To ensure that all of the buds are getting enough light, I have been defoliating and adjusting the low stress training (LST) technique. However, I have noticed that I haven't completed the process of lollipopping because I was worried about damaging the plant. As a result, there are several small buds that I want to remove, but I am not sure if it is safe to do so. Hopefully I'll be able to harvest at the end of this month, slight delay from the time of this seed.
