Ok, so, I decided to do the BBing today. I am doing a bit of a test. I trimmed half of the main colas, and left the others unharmed. I wanted to see the results of the next three weeks of finishing.
Here is a pic at Day 35 of flowering. Going to flower for 65-70 .
Check back in a few days for an update!

Can't complain about backbuilding. Was it the snip snip that fattened them up? Was it just there time? The world may never know

Nice! That's why I only did half of the plant. I wanted to see how it reacts.

Doing half is the best way to see the results. I couldn't help but to cut em all. I would have been upset to have half fat and full and half whatever. But I'm a weirdo.

Me too, I am OCD about little things, but since this was my first time trying it, and I'm a firm believer in producing my own results rather than relying on others', I decided to do half.
If I like the results, I'll try it on my Big Bud grow.

Sweet. I'll be watching your grow so make sure to post your results with the half/half plz

Just wanted to post a couple pics to update, being that I have already started to see a difference in growth on the ones I tipped.
Tipped (nice and tight fuller flowers, it seems):
Not tipped (seems looser, still noticed a difference from 48hrs):
Couple close-ups:
And an overall shot:
She has about 3-4 more weeks, I believe.

Just a sample of what backbuilding did for me. There is a difference and ill be doing it to everything I grow for now on. My lines are not perfect but you get the idea.

That is amazing
)) I will definitely try this when it's time. Is it ok to do this with autos?

I Believe you can do it to autos. no reason not too.. I wasn't sure how much it would change them but theres the proof. I'm sold and will do it on everything I grow.
Thanks Light Addict!!

I'm definitely trying this! I feel like I keep learning more about the whole process every day. Am I ever going to remember it all though?

Another update. I will attest, it's only been a few days and the ones that I tipped are absolutely exploding!
This one is 11" long and then continues down another 5" toward the base. It's huge and started to explode when I tipped it:
The stems that I tipped have all started to connect now forming decent sized colas already, with about three weeks to go:
A full shot, lots of bud sites, nice colas starting to form:
Starting to fill out nicely:

I know I have defoliated quite a bit, so it's harder to tell, but any idea at what kind of strain she is? Or family?
I assume a hybrid, she smells super potent, lemony and a bit spicy. I dried some over a week and tried it tonight, no curing, but it's very fruity.

when is a generally good time to snip the tips for this technique? Like if you have an 8 week strain should you do it around week 4-5? and if its a 10 week strain week 7-8? just wondering as im about to attempt this technique for the first time myself.
