OK im unsure on what to do .
im now 62 days into flowering or almost nine weeks .
the problem im having is that i have yet to trim or prune my bottom Budd's or any growth for that matter and it is getting quite thick down there
here is a pic of what im talking about
if i do trim things up do you think it would help or hinder my top Budd's ?

bump^^^^^ i also forgot to mention that my trich's are just now starting to get what you call cloudy with just a hint of amber to them .... the bottom Budd's im talking about are the little tinny popcorn buds near the stalk of the pant. they are really thick and i feel that they are taking most of the plants energy. my top buds have yet to start filling in really good they are all still really airy. i would like to know if there is something i could do to help it along in its last few weeks of its life ?
ANY HELP WOULD BE NICE

Start adding some molasses to your water on every feeding.

It really gets the kolas to beef up.

As for clipping up the bottom or pruning the bottom should be no probablem, now's a chance to get some early samples of your bud.

I recently harvested a plant with lots of little lower buds . . . I grabbed the bigger, ready ones, then stuck the plant back in 12/12 until they were ready, about 2 weeks in this case. They didn't grow a whole lot bigger (a few did grow a bit) but they did get a lot more resin glands.

well what about the lollipop method, how does that work? when do you start pruning with that method? I cant really find any good articles on how to lollipop.
