So, after doing some research on "backbuilding", it seems to be more cannabis "bro science." No scholarly articles from any agricultural resources, no applications found in any type of agricultural production. All searches lead back to MJ specific sites, primarily one article on 420mag...
Put this right up there with defoliation and flushing soil.
Show me some non cannabis applications of the technique in agricultural production, or non cannabis research papers about it, and I'll consider it.

Cannabis doesn't grow like anything else you'd grow commercially. So to use a cannabis specific technique on something like tomatoes and strawberries would be pointless.So, after doing some research on "backbuilding", it seems to be more cannabis "bro science."

It's an annual herbaceous plant and requires the same care as most other annual herbaceous plants. The cannabis industry is rife with ideas and products geared towards people with no horticultural education. Learn to grow annual herbaceous plants well, and you'll excel at MJ growing.
The rest is myth, conjecture or just "bro science".

@og im picturing you trying to backbuilding on your plant that look like this? and most likely that will work. but most if not all are here to help, and not f#ck over newer grower with B.S.. pics are worth a 1000s of your words.. cuz until then . imma keep it moving doing it the old fashion way . hard work and big roots.. .. mine was just given light , some food, and a
proper growing
environment. an im kinda stoked with this grow

Man I'm not getting into a pissing contest. Straight up wasted 3 yrs in school getting a degree in applied sciences for horticulture thinking it'd help. I learned way less there than I did
Through trial and error. So you can take all that science stuff and shove it. I tried backbuilding on my blue dream cutt on a plant that went directly into flower the day that it was put into a half gallon pot. I did this cause I like to experiment and Someone who's word as a grower I Trust. So here's your proof dude!

proof of what?

Bullshit. It wouldn't be any different if you didn't pinch and fuck up your main colas. All it does it compress the tip of your nug. You can just grow it out and squeeze it when it's done if you'd like. People that grow dense kill don't squeeze or cut tips of colas.

So provide an example because what you posted was nothing out of the ordinary.

Same strain, same nutes, same grower(me obviously). But much smaller nuggs. My blue dream grows like a sativa so I figured I'd try back building on her. Obviously for her it worked. For others though I'm not really sure. I only speak on what I know so I don't mis inform anyone. Something some of you guys need to give a try.

Also I'd like to see what you can do in a half gallon pot. I thought that a 1 oz nug was pretty extraordinary.

Wow Mr Sunshine just try it on one main Indica plant if you haven't and like Cloud says experiment if your are a true grower learning all the time until they plant your ass in the ground. If you got the best method stick to it but others would like to know things you already got compiled in that brain of yours. You are great addition to this forum dude. OG out

Looks like similar bud structure of other BD I've ran and seen. Looks good though. What breeder?
I'm not getting into a pissing match. I simply stated the cannabis is an annual herbaceous plant and should be treated as such. Maybe I was wrong calling it "bro science". "Backbuilding" is just "FIM" in flower.

It's just a form of hormone displacement, similar to pinching grow tips, just a little more damaging. It causes the plant to stop upward growth and bush out/thicken, usually through new growth and lower growth catching up to the molested tops in veg, or stopping bud elongation in flower.
Most of the better controlled tests I've seen done with FIM, pinching, pruning, etc. in flower, to increase yields, never saw a measurable difference in weight. There were some where the untouched plant yielded more, probably due to not having to heal or change its growth pattern mid cycle. Main benefit of the techniques seem to be height control. It also seems to be strain specific. I've pinched buds to stop upward growth when head height became an issue, but I've found best growth by not messing with them after the stretch slows down.

Wow, very amusing thread.
Just when I think that I have seen every bizarre and specious technique to employ in growing a simple plant...along comes this profoundly idiotic thread. Holy macaroni!
Here is a poor, neglected plant in a tiny, three gallon container...the buds were untouched.

I have seen tremendous growth after I started stirring my nutes with my slong..... Buds doubled in size overnight
