I've clipped buds here and there for weeks up to harvest, I've even clipped out caterpillers from the buds and it didn't seem to hurt them.

I did find a vaporizor works great on fresh bud though.
Purple Daddy Reviewed by Purple Daddy on . Picking just a bit (early) for 4-20... Hey all -- I don't have any weed atm, and haven't smoked in a while, but am growing 2 plants (Ministry Carnival strain) in my closet. Since it's 4/20 :jointsmile:, I was thinking about picking just a bit for tonight, and wanted to know what the best way to do this would be. If you all think this would hurt the plant too much, or if the buds are not ready enough to produce a good high, I'll leave it alone. Be honest if you think I should just leave it alone; that's fine... *sigh* My plants Rating: 5
