Picked up some Nice looking buds directly off the plant

[Killa.Kali]

if you divided the plant into 4 sections vertically ground being 1 and crown being 4; i picked them all from 3/4 of the way up the plant, the tops were more bud and less leaf but would have been kinda rude to give my friend 10 bucks and take 20+ dollars in weed =\

I claim to know NOTHING of the actual age/origin/strain/technique of this plant or how it was grown, I have never invested 8 months of my time into a plant (yet) so I wouldnt know what one looked like up close, all I know is that I've known this kid since grade school and his dad has always put out good crops, hes never lied to me before, and we have always had each-others back -- so I have no reason to believe hes lying to me. The reason I hold his claim true that the plants are 8 months old is that the stems were pretty thick compared to what I have seen in the past, approx. 2 inches in diameter. also the plants themselves were a few inches short of my shoulder.

and a 30 min high would be well appreicated right now...not as much as an all nighter but still appreciated Some of us are less fortunate than others when it comes to money, connections, and time.

hey those buds but look half bad at all. the buds are a bit young but there nice young buds. i think you got an ok deal. what you got to do is go back to thats kids house in a month and get some big buds. those buds will mature a bit once dried so they should be pretty good.

Lol thx guys I'm gonna give em probably another hour-hour & and a half to dry and then its smokzin time

question for pplz who grow and have good knowledge of growing - How long does it take for an outdoor plant to fully mature from sprout to harvest? (in my climate -- avg annual rain 12.5" hot and dry for most of the year with virtually no winter) not asking for a precise calculation just an estimate. I wanna know how long its gonna be before we can expect full results.

Nice looking buds, see you have some Padre stuff in your room. Are you in San Diego too? I have been in San Diego for 6 yrs, but I am relocating next month back home closer to my family...I will blaze "legally" for the first time in 8 yrs out here for about a week next month then I drive back east.

Nah im not in SD nor am I a fan of the Padres oddly enough lol My stepdad is a big padres fan cuz he was SD born and raised (he even put a padres full sized flag up on our flag pole) so I get some stuff once and awhile when i go with him to games lol. I wish i was in SD though...sure I could nose out something more than what i got here lol. Hour and a half north of SD now get on the 15 and come save me from my hell!!! brb gotta go kill something

All together I got 2 bowls out of the 3 buds I picked and I gotta say the high was more than I expected. After reading what you all said I thought I'd get a high like you get off resin (30 min of medium stonage) Ended up not being all that bad, I really liked the smoke and the flavor after they had been dried for 4 hours and 40 minutes under a heat lamp, I turned them often and moved the light around a bit too.

The high could be described as a very natural feeling, I could definitely feel the head change but at the same time I didn't feel all woozy and off balance nor did I get the munchies like I normally do.

All in All - It was not something to compare to smoking full matured and cured buds but I think I got my money's worth and I definitely enjoyed the new experience It got me thinking about growing again lol
