Goes something like this. "if you have to ask us, if the buds are ready, they aren't.

You are new to this. Congrats, for first time you did well. This is what I would do. Get the magnification loop. Pick a small bud. Examine it and keep notes on what you see. Put it on top of the tv or computer. In three days it will ready to try. Smoke it as the first herb of the day. Put your impressions down in your notes.

Do this every three days. Keep good notes. The smoke will mature, and you now have a diary on the plant. Next time you will have a much better idea and know a lot more about what you want, and when it happens, and what to look for.

Sure, the quick dry will not give you the true taste. But it will keep you away from the plant until it is ready.

Best way to shoot yourself in the foot is to harvest early. Better to harvest late.
