My 2 MasterKush plants are 3 1/2 weeks into flowering, and have dense pistil areas (i dont know if these white pistils bloom suddenly into the form of weed that you smoke), I was just wondering if I can pick individual buds off early maybe in 2 weeks? Individually, i dont want to harvest. 1. Will it get me pretty high? (I can already see trichromes with the naked eye at every bud site) 2. I heard buds regenerate individually too if you snip them 3. I don't want to reduce yield dramatically. 4. IF I can cut some individual buds to quick dry and smoke so i dont have to buy untill my complete harvest, which bud sites are the less detrimental to pick at?

to my knowledge any chopping on your plant during flowering will put stress on it and reduce yield. I would not cut anything off until harvest but maybe someone can give you a different answer.

if you really need to do some early chopping take a few small buds off the bottom of the plant and leave the colas alone, once they are farther along in flowering the trichomes will be thick and it will look like it got dipped in sugar, when you pick it early the thc is not formed completly and it will give you a headache high more often than not, when the buds are mature peak potency is when the trichomes are cloudy-amber colored when you look at them under 30x microscope

So I take it that you CAN pick buds early and still get high...right? Does this mean that you can skip that whole DRYING phaze and just roll it up real quik and blaze while the rest is still flowering for a bit longer?

post some pics of your plants

If you must take some early to smoke (and by the way this does anger the ganja gods) I agree that the little popcorn buds at the bottom are the best. Basically it is the trichs that get you high since that is where almost all the thc is. But again, it is bad karma to smoke any weed before it's time. You disrespect the ganja by doing so, and do so at your own peril.

dont cut em early it will not get u the high u want trust me from experience just wait it out man ur gonna end up tryin to quick dry em and then burn all the THC off and gonna be smoking just to smoke then it doesnt work just leave the plant alon 3 weeks is not that long

true that on the headache high.

Be patient mate. Dont go hacking your plant up. You will only cause it stress. Let it mature properly. The quality of the smoke you will get from immature buds is nowhere near the finished product.

i always pick little bits to smoke during the waiting time between harvests.

i only take the smaller buds and they are always covered in thc and gets me high, better then anything around on the streets in my area
