Hey everyone. Don't really know if this goes under harvesting but I was wondering when is it okay to pull a small bud off your plant to smoke. I'm good with just letting it go but sometimes I run low and my mind wanders to my baby. Hit to tear it up but if I have to, will it get me high? The pistils are still white-milky but I can see the crystals on the leaves. Was just wondering.

You can.. I did the same actually. Just finished smoking it this weekend! It took a couple days to dry out enough to bust.. it got me a little high but it just tastes/smells like plant matter.

but it did the job I guess lol

Dude it'll be more worth ur time and effort if u just wait til its ready.

I took a mini-bud off my plant a couple of days ago, dried it in the oven at 100degree's for 15 minutes.

i got high as a kite, not sure what breed my plant is, but i got totally high.

you can see my plant here - comments are appreciated.

i know someone that did this last friday and we smoke it saturday.......we got high but i agree with these guys. just wait it out and you will be happier with the end result and it will taste alot better!

i just harvested my first grow not long ago but i pinched a few budz off just to try it. we got high but its was much better after letting it get done longer..

It works, for sure... and obviously it would be better when fully matured. But it's hard not to try her out early and I don't believe that you harm the plant by doing it.

If you take a bud down low close to the stem you're likely allowing the plant to direct more energy toward the bigger and main buds, which is something many people try to do.

So chop one off, don't worry. Bake it at 100-150 in the oven and you'll be smokin' in no time.

Thanks. Sorry for all the typos in that first post. Like I said, I'm still holding off on doing it and would love to not touch it until harvest, it had just been on my mind and I wanted to find out. I had a smaller plant that I harvested a few weeks ago but I never took anything off it before the harvest. Did put it in the oven and roll a skimpy blunt and get blowed as hell. Hehe, can't wait for this one, she's bigger.

Buying that end of flower cycle bag if you're going to need it should be part of your grow plan.

Your happy girl, working hard to finish the fruit, all of a sudden WACK!
Just a limb, no worries, keep doing what your doing. LoL
Seriously, buy a bag, leave the plant alone. Kill her with one fell swoop, don't torture her.
