So if I'm forced to harvest my plant early, how will it smoke? What effects will it have?
It depends on how unripe it is .... you will get a buzz ... but the earlier you take it the less the buzz is. It's been a while, but I recall reading somewhere that some take their bud a bit early like a week or two so they will get a nice head buzz from it.
Depending on the strain .... if you take it two to three weeks earlier I would say you would still get a nice buzz.
But I'm sure most of the growers would advice you to get it as close to harvest as possible. Just my ... :twocents:
Check the trichomes. If they are clear, you're screwed. If they're cloudy or amber your good (they can be just 1, just the other, or mixed).
is theyre anyway you can let them go any longer the more the better..
The clear trichomes doesnt contain any active ingredients to produce any psychoactive effects?Quote:

for the statisticians here;
13 total colas on 4 plants with one pinch early in seedling stage. each cola is a minimum 0f 10" with most in the 14-16" range and one exceptional 18 incher! all very fat (3" dia...hence the 'beercan buds' handle) with short hairs varying from pink to reddish brown with white undertones beneath the pistils...iow, very white widow appearing but much better aroma, closer to sweet tooth or even a skunk when close. this one's a keeper, imnsho and it will be growing alongside the c99 with a permanent home in my gardens...
now if only i could find some original sol sweet tooth or vic high's space queen and romberry (hint, hint)...
It will taste like shit.
I beg to differ.^
I have been smoking on some 4 weeks premature bud today. It tastes great. It stinks so bad (rotting meat smell) it makes me gag, but it tastes good. Spicy, like cinnamon and ginger. And the stone is freaky. I can't wait to hit it when it's really done.
Could of been bad cause it wasnt fully dried. I dont know but I didnt like it.
I think they are good if you flush first - some of mine broke off early (about 4 weeks into flower) so I smoked it. It got me a head buzz but tastes fertilizery.
