Premature Smoke

Hi,

As my plants continue to flower, I tend to have a habit of snipping off those bottom branches that aren't receiving adequate light. In my opinion, this allows the plant to focus growth and nutrients to more 'deserving' buds. However, when I do this, the same thing tends to happen each time -- as I stare at the premature buds canvasing the small branches, I ponder about how they will make great hash. But, instead of putting them aside for such a task, I am over come the desire to smoke them. My inhibitions begin to fade and the bud begins to tantalize my senses.

So, as I sit here writing this post, I stare at the pile of pseudo-bud in front of me, smoking a bowl here and there, and waiting for the rest to dry. Do any of you guys ever do this? I mean, aside from the fact it smells like I just cut my lawn, the buds get me high... hey?

I'd recommend cutting the lower branches earlier in flowering. Thats alot of waisted bud growth and its a lot of stress so you might make it herm. Do it like a week or two into flowering or during veg. Though I did this with a couple buds just to try them during my last grow. They were reasonably potent but not as good as when she was finished
