My plant is about 3 and half months old and it's roughly a week and a half into flowering at the moment. The buds are starting to form nicely on the branch tips and looking fatter every other day. The premature buds are still covered with white pistils, but i wanted to know whether or not it would be possible to clip off a bud early just to try it out. I'm not sure whether or not the premature buds contain enough THC to get me faded. Does anybody know whether a considerably premature bud would produce a high or not?

Give it about another week or so and then you can try a sample. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with having an early taster, most of the growers I know do it and it gives you a great indication to what kinda high/stone you want especially if you have no weed to keep you going till harvest! But dont get to greedy, there is nothing better than a proper dried/cured bud out of your own stash!

Not worth it at all. All u will get is a headache and scratchy nasty tasting no justice doing rip

I've gotten impatient before and have had an immature bud at that stage. It will get you high (it's not nearly as potent as the finished product) + the bud usually isn't flushed (unless you already flushed) and therefore is much much more harsh. Honestly I would just wait. It is so worth it.

I dunno, maybe it's just the stuff im growing, but I sampled one of the smaller buds at about 4 almost 5 weeks and it got me nice and ripped, but it didn't last long. Then I ended up having to harvest a plant at 6 weeks, dried it for about a week, cured it for a week and it smoked great. Now at 8 weeks I harvested another plant and it's drying right now. I've quick dried some of the buds off of the 6 week and a 7 week plant and it wasn't harsh at all and tasted great. Once again, maybe it's just the Purple Bubba Kush im growing; but it's not harsh, it tastes great and has an amazing 2 stage high even at 6-7 weeks old.

take a five piece now and your losing probably at least five grams out of harvest

seriously man. at 1 1/2weeks flowering i dont even think the plant has any trichs yet. so sampling would defeat the purpose

Felt like contributing (and sadly bumping a post from 2011...) but... I personally have done that before in the past and occasionally will/still do,plucking premature to an extent is O.K. Note OK being keyword. Age= week of flower (duh) & Trich development,heavy trichs good looking heads,perfered cloudy. but YES even still mostly-clear WILL do -something- Now... this being said,premature flower harvested fresh and RAN AS EXTRACTION Thats been my consumption method... so... Tough call as i dont even try and "quick dry" my girls,that is the dumbest thing i seen most go off about people doing. To sample if you want to then yes,just keep it,dry,and store properly then eventually sample. Just wanted to throw my 2cent experience and opinion since this thread was still relavent in my search of others' experiences and advice over it.

this is fukn retarded.. no.. dont do it... You wanna quick dry a bud or two at 8-9 weeks from flip, fine we were all there at some point... The trade off is a handful of pistils at the cost of actual bud.. Lets allow this thread to die once again ... the fuck are people digging this shit up for?

Newbie here. question, As I know I'm doing something wrong due to consistent results I don't want! But we are waiting to flush until we see amber trichomes, we are monitoring moisture levels during the cure time, but it is so hard to smoke a joint! the damn thing wont stay lit. No matter how dry it is, I have tried to let it dry crisp ( easy to do in arizona lol) and still, you spark one, and it hits and goes out. No matter the type of wrap. why?? Thanks for any responses, its a scoobydoo mystery and im tired of burning out my lighters hahaha L

Knowing how Az grows, yeah it's hard to smoke double strength Hawthorne bud soaked in fake resin "boosters" and neem oil. Seriously Az has a mental disability when it comes to shit like growing weed. Absolutely loaded with fucking growstore products. OP just smoke it all, leaves and everything. Like in high school

well, not sure where to go with that lol thanks?? indoor grow, hydroponic set up, nutrients only. wont stay lit, even with long proper cure, any help would be nice. it is mid summer in Arizona. the last thing we need is to be told what a shitty state we live in lmao 120 degrees is reminder enough D
