How do i pinch my snapdragons?

Question:I planted some snapdragons that are 6 inches tall and was told they should be pinched to produce a bushier plant. so, what part of the plant needs to be pinched and how do I do it?

Answers:
There is no need to pinch until they flower...after the flower dries up or turns brown, there will be a seed pod that will be left..it is a cluster of hard green covered balls still connected to the plant..that is what needs to be pinched off so that the plant will continue to put its energy into making more leaves and flowers instead of going to seed...

Pinch off the top bud, this will cause it to bush out. Watch out they could bite.

with thumb an fingers what else.''
