I want to pick individual buds early

**Lacy** · 09-26-2007, 09:41 AM

I know mine isn't quite ready either but I also have pinched a bud here and there to sample and have gotten high. Mine are about 7 weeks into flowering. I've been smokin' off and on for about 30 years.

Not only is this a great question but it was written so well.

Do they have biologically-enhanced super-pot or something? Because if people didn't pick buds, why would there be so many posts about picking buds with answers totally different than yours?
I'm not doubting your years of experience, it's simply that virtually every grow journal on this site mentions getting some form of smokeable bud before harvest, and then loving the "buzz that gives a headache and comes on and leaves as fast as it came"
I am NOT a crackhead. I can be patient, but I want FACTS.

Thanks, whenever I have questions I try to be as specific as possible, because whenever you leave out the smallest detail, you'll get bogus responses. Let that be a lesson to everyone, I'm not saying I'm the best question poster, but if you post a question on this board, write it as if you were writing it as a college application. If people see intelligent posts on marijuana forums, then we'd probably have more respect.

Hey man why donnt you cut a small bud and judge for yourself.

I'm now in day 60 of flowering, and in my opinion, it's not worth picking before your trichromes are all cloudy with a tinge of amber, at least. If you have a surplus of bud growing, than i'd say the days preceding when the bud turns cloudy gives you a buzz, doesnt last long and is not a weed "high" but it calms you down a bit. Or makes you totally paranoid. Depends on your brain's biological make-up. Don't pick a bud "when you feel like it" unless you've got enough other yield to cover it, just like you shouldnt buy-in at a poker table with more money than you can afford to lose; otherwise, it does do a little something. This was with a predominently indica strain btw

I just need enough to smoke for a week or two before harvest. I have 6 feet mean motherfuckers (Masterkush) 3 1/2 weeks into 12/12 and there are pistils everywhere (by the way as a novice quesiton, when do the pistils at the growing sights start looking like the weed I smoke from a bag I bought? Do their callyxes suddenly get a shitload bigger?).

Thanks
