I figure I will just wing it and focus on light penetration and airflow :-) From what everyone is saying, I am hopeful that i won't shock the hell out of her... HOPEFUL!
Thanks again for all the help

What are Popcorn Buds?
And now; for the rest of the story . . .
What Are Popcorn Buds?
Popcorn buds are essentially small, light, spacious flowers that do not have a chance to fully develop. Normally, they are found low down on a plant under the canopy where light does not penetrate. This tends to be because these low bud sites are blocked by fan leaves or other branches. By harvest day, the lower areas of a cannabis plant can be full of popcorn buds that are of a much lesser quality and size than the main buds.
Cannabis plants prioritize the top buds because they have easy access to the light above them. The plant focuses its energy on its highest flower through a hormone called auxin, which is what gives it an apical structure. The plant's multiple colas reach up towards the sky, ultimately shading the lower areas of the plant also trying to grow. Removing popcorn buds can help to direct more of the plant's energy to the larger flowers, resulting in larger yields overall.
The Causes Of Popcorn Buds
Popcorn buds appear mostly due to being in the shade. Other than a lack of light, popcorn buds can also develop because of
high temperatures. When loose flowers like this grow, plants are potentially overheating and perspiring at a faster rate. Air flows more easily around the plant when buds are not as dense, allowing it to stay cooler.

Good Day!
