I read somewhere that it does.
No it wont affect their size, but u can rub terpenes off. But who doesnt like touching their buds here and there rite lol
I would not worry about touching them tho

Not sure why you wanna touch your developing buds. Just let them be. No need, at all, to touch them. 
Just wait til harvest time.

It is when I use the microscope. And bump it when pruning. Sometimes I like to hold it and hug it and snuggle!!!

Actually, you’re bursting the trichomes that protect the plant. They shouldn’t be touched. @blackthumbbetty @jsanders420 @monkman

If my lense barely touches it for a moment, I won’t freak out.
I’m NOT that guy:
Lol!
I try to keep my buds untouched, even while trimming. I’m so prissy about messing with my trichs.

was just kidding @Covertgrower and that stuff never comes across on a puter, can’t see peoples expressions lol. i try to keep everything away from buds as they are way sticky.

true that touching should be minimalized but in reality ive probably had a finger on every bud ive grown during its life somewhere and checking density and dryness during hang it gets touched(and rubber gloves do not stop it from sticking. They just get in the way for real)
definately dont finger em all up but i wouldnt worry about the scope or a random bump or 2
Good bud wont be phased by it.
