hey guys.. i am becoming very inpaitiant and low on bud..

so if i cut a bud of my plants, will the plant carry on growing ok? or will it stress it out too much?? there lemon skunk. 5 weeks into flower

waste of time, the plant will survive and will grow fine, but there will be hardly any THC on what you will cut off, by the time its been dried etc... it will only be for flavor which will be poor as well - hold on no tlong ot go so dont waste it...

the plants are coverd in crystal.. the only reason i want to smoke sum..i think i should wait. will be worth it ay

Way too early to get a stone off. Waste of bud. It'll be worth it in the long run.

the most developed plant has looked the same for the past few days. dosent seem to be growing fat buds yet.

if he really wants too,hes gonna anyway, i did this on my last grow a few times i suppose as i look back i wish id waited but at the time i engoyed my smoke

yeah you can nick a bud(as long as you dry it) but it tastes shizen and either does nothing or gives you a quick head rush type stone. in my opinion (not that its worth much)

u have so just tempted me further

hahaha. im doing the same myself now! but like the boys say it does deminish the final weight. (which is even better weed if u can wait) hahahaha. good man. i like it

quickest drying method?? lmao

People sneak buds it happens, but at 5 weeks flower if you take now, you'll loose 2-3 times that amount off your final weight
Just my 2p

i left mine in my box(wooden) overnite n then threw her in the mic for a couple of secs. the weed crumbled upon touch(fast dry) tasted a little bit nice but proper green(chlrophyll) and gave me head rush type stone that lasted about ten min. but i hadn't had a smoke for a couple of days though.

i have only took a tiny bit.. hardly a bud.. theres nothing to em really. just looks like leaves and crystal

Bet you will get high if you take a bit. But tbh its best not too and just wait

Its a tough call when youve got no weed.. maybe pick a bud lower down the plant, does less damage

On top of your ballast matey

Waiting would be better but im sure we have all done it, its only a taster right

Volc

there growing in my conservitory . no ballasts here

Done this many a time, but only from lower branches that never produce much anyway. Best way I find for quick dry is 10-15 mins in the oven at about 100 centigrade. Should give you a decent but very head high.

Brown paper bag it for 3 or 4 days, should be smokable just about. Without ruining it.

If i get that short i cut whatever`s available

Dont bother will taste like shit and wont give you a buzz at 5 weeks.

I smoked 4 week before and got me stoned and i smoke everyday. If you got nothing you could nick a bit

I read a good tip on this one not long ago (sorry forget who it came from) - take a rizla and brush it lightly over some of the trichs on your plant then make a cigarette with it. Not tried it myself but sounded like a better idea than butchering poor mary.

i end up chopping the lower buds off from week 5 sometimes an ive found they are nice an frosty on wot ive got in my grow room. some even at week 4 before.
best way to dry if you got overnight is on the radiator on some tin foil, it works fine an doesnt nuke out all the flavour which a microwave an oven does.
if you wanna dry it properly then go for it.
if there is NO trichs on the buds then dont bother as it will be a waste an dont chop off top main cola that look like they will pack on some weight
i do mine on the radiator usually all the time. (obviously not my main harvest).
at the end of the day if the buds frosty an you got enough to sacrifice a few buds growing then its better than paying 10 quid a gram for someone elses shitty grown nbot even half decent stuff. or paying 20 quid for 3 grams of wet shit.
if you gotta smoke daily like me then do wot u gotta do man the plants will recover anyways an jus put there energy into producing the other buds. you will still loose a bit of yield though.

jus some pics to show wot my buds a generally like regardless of which strain im growing at around 4-5 week mark plenty of thc on them. first ones actually at 3 weeks.

coming along nicely

stick it in your PC above the graphics card if you can. pc's are great for fast drying, lots of heat, and normally plenty of airflow with just your cpu fan on.

:thumbs1:

That's the one...

Monk...x

they collect alot of dust too though

true. i wrap the bud in a bit of newspaper too, dust free, and also absorbs moisture. honestly PC is the best method IMO. or behind the 360 during a marathon game session.

I just caved in and chopped a small branch. im at 9 weeks though. Bloody lovely! Dried on top of my old crt monitor for 24 hours. lovely flash dried weed...when you have no weed it really is the best weed ever.
