To sample or not to sample.. that is the question!

[BobBong]

so... i'm outta weed.. my stash has been depleted for almost a week now.
Everyday though.. i look at my girl and wonder, should i sample her?

i've read up on oven drying..they suggest this method if you plan on testing your crop.

my question is.. at what point should you sample her?
i was thinking about taking one of the smaller colas and oven toasting it for a few minutes. (as suggested)

hmmm... to sample... or not to sample...

she's approx. 2 weeks into flowering

i would suggest you wait at least until four weeks of flowering before you try to sample your plant. also, i would just dry it for a few days instead of in the oven....it will make a big diffrence. puttihg it under a light would be better than the oven.

ya.. i think it's still to early also.. i was just interested as to when would be a good time to sample.... arg!!! this waiting game SUCKS!

i'm in the same boat as you. getting close to 2 weeks of flowering. your pick does look a bit early to take a picking, but i, like you, am going to pick at the earliest time i can to start sampling the stages of taste

oven is the worse thing in the world... think of it, think how vaporizers work.. they basically push hot air through the bud, just enough so the THC is released. if you oven your bud or dry it out using a heat method, your wasting bud!

scrape a piece for resin....... and try to hold off : )

if you end up sampling.. well.... everyone has done it : )
