Hey Mike, I learned this lesson the hard way. I picked up plants from my benches, looked at them, and put them back down. If you do not keep them facing in the same direction, the orientation of the buds towards the light changes. Those changes result in buds that get twisted on a spike.
I use the plants name tag as my guide. If I pick a plant up with buds, I look at them, and put it back with the tag facing the exact same way. This way, the buds experience no change in their orientation to the light source.
There is no better thrill then catching fish using flies that you tied!
