Had to harvest early!

not true.......ive done it and the potency from branches that had bud snipped isnt very strong and physically not nearly as beefy and rezzy and crystaly as the ones i dont take any from, dont u have any friends who could hook you up with a oz or whatever now in return for some of your plant when they finish? i snip the bottom popcorn branches all off about a month b4 the big colas get done since they finish earlier or at least get closer to being done, at that point i get the really trippy sativa high you mentioned from em if i water cure em .....forgot about water curing. lol

what do you do with the leaves? anything you want.... make bubble hash, make butter for brownies, keif, use a pollen press and make hash. shit man so much. be like the indians one guy told me, use all of what you grow. i even feed the stems to my dog, she loves them. there her scubbie snacks.

butter is always good. i save everything but the roots for butter pretty much so.

Yea they do not seem to be affect by it. If your in a rush put a handfull in the microwave with a cup of water and nuke for thirty seconds flip the buds and repeat that should Dry the buds to a reasonable/ smokable point...
