hey everyone.

heres my situation.. I currently have a Ceres Skunk grow going.. and today is her first day of week #4 of budding.. well they say (at the seed bank) that this strain only takes about 40-45 days to fully mature and bud.

K I understand that she's not going to be ready (Fully ready) until the middle or end of week #6... but I figured since she's over half way through her flowering period.. I thought I would take two buds from her and test them..

my question is.. why do my buds smell ehhh I dunno how to describe the smell... its almost like it smells.. yeah I dunno. But it doesn't smell right.

It smells like leafs smell.. ya know what I mean?

Is that smell present in these two test buds because they're not ready? or.. they just haven't dried?? just wondering because I'm out of bud.. and out of methadone (prescribed methadone for a past heroin addiction) and I'm having MAJOR fucking withdraw from the Methadone and that's why I took the samples.. because smoking bud really really helps with my withdraws....


Like right now? I'm sitting her typing this.. sweating and aching like a MOFO. :|

anyone have any tips?

Thanks in advance!

peace.

The un normal or hay smell is because the bud isnt ready or cured. Sometimes when a bud is picked early it will develop that smell. Seed banks normally say plants take alot less time then they should. All of my buds always take at least 8 weeks to fully mature.


As for the anxiety and withdraws. get get a sack and toke it up and be patient wait for your bud to finish you will be happy you did

Well, actually I'm a NJ native. Lived in Belmar, New Jersey all my life pretty much. That is also where I was getting my heroin at... so I came down to Arkansas to live with some friends for a year or so. BUT... now that I've been Sober (except for pot) for about 11 months.. my family is wanting me to come back home to Jersey.

Also, thanks for the support my piazon. Same to you bro.. keep doing what ya doing and stay clean.

All i have to do is.. just stay away from the people I was hanging with and socializing with and I should be fine. I also erased all my connects phone numbers from my cell phone and changed my cell number. That will help me stay away from it as well.

My girlfriend has been waiting on me in Jersey.. waiting on me to get sober. So.. having her.. someone I love with all my heart.. having that will REALLY help me stay clean and sober.

For those of you.. who MIGHT be getting into Oxycottin or Roxycodone..?!?! Don't.

It's not worth it. Trust me. :) Not worth it...

anyhow.. it also helps meeting other people who have had similar or the same problem with addiction.

k im done.. i've got a nice pretty bowl of some blueberry loaded up and ready to fire up... so..

peace everyone and happy toking&growing.

the buds smell like that because you're essentially clipping the nutrients along with the flowers/resin. the "fresh-green-earthy-leafy/mossy" smell goes away as the resin matures, and becomes more and more potent. the nutrient content of the flowers diminishes in those last weeks of flowering, causing your plants to change smell dramatically.

my advise is to not take "preview" clippings. I've done this several times, and I understand how its very tempting to clip some buds for a quick buzz, and I do give you kudos for kicking bad habbits. As you take samples off your plant, it has to divert growth[flower] energy into repairing/healing/sealing cut wounds. this takes away from the potential yield and vigor of your plant, reducing both quality and quantity.
 
just escaped the opiate prison myself... i was smokin 3 or 4 40 mg oxys and snortin 3 or 4 dilaudid 4's a day just to not be sick and get a lill bit of a high goin. it was lame as fuck. once i realized it was stopping me from progressing with my music i cut myself off.. detoxed for week and a half ... shit was weeeeeaaak. not being able to sleep or shit if my life depended on it. puking from motion sickness WHILE I WAS DRIVING lol ... you are definitely right my dude. not worth it... as far as sample buds go. dont do it. be strong. BE STRONG DAMMIT! patience is a virtue...
 
hell hea if it takes samplin to not to be sick... sample my friend. there is no other worse feeling than being sick from ops. aspecially methadone. im in the clinic too man, i get suboxone now though. the methadone withdraws were too similar to iv heroin withdraws. so i switch over to suboxone and it doesnt make you feel good like methadone but it works ive been clean of iv drugs for tem months and some change and i was a junki man ive done state time went to prison was sick to my bones and know what its like to be sick brother. so keep it clean. but suboxone and my new found love for canabis growing and hate for hard drugs keeps me at ground level. peace from the east man

ive had green that kinda smelt like hay untill it was cured and then the smell came back dank but in ur situation its prob cause its not close to being ready and it prob had to do with not being dryed properly be patient and u will be rewarded stay clean man its the only way peace
