It won't give you headaches, unless you get one from inhaling so much smoke, due to the fact that the weed will be less potent than it should. The sooner you harvest, the less your weed will stone you, and the more it will be a light, heady, thinking man's experience. If you see resin on your bud you will probably get high to some degree. Look close for a sugar-like coating on the buds.

You need a pocket microscope so that you can look at trichomes (search this) and see when to harvest. Clear = heady and more able to think, cloudy = normal, amber = stoned and couch-locked.
Opie Yutts Reviewed by Opie Yutts on . NEED ADVISE! I have 5 plants that have been under a 400w HPS for 8 weeks. They have been receiving several nutrients, but something has come up and I need to abandon the place that I am growing in immediately. I have put a lot of work into the plants and I don't want to see it all go to waste. So I am unable to flush the plants with plain water for 2 weeks as is recommended, instead I only have time for two days of flushing, also I will not be able to have a 24-hour dark period...how necessary is that?
