Ok, question. I know everyone says to pinch off the buds on small plants and I get that...but how small is small? My poor Dark Nebula is a tiny thing as you can tell from the photo, it is all bloom; the 6" stick of a plant is hidden by the flower. She has another bud on her and I guess I should pinch it off so she can put her energies into growing instead of flowering. But, at what point is it okay to let these gals go to town?
