Can i take one of my buds off

Without killing the plant? They are 4 weeks into flower with 5 inch long colas. I know waiting is what i should do but i gotta dry one and try…what do you think?

I wouldn’t do it just yet. Wait till the pistils have started to turn Amber and then pick a small popcorn sized flower at the bottom of the plant.

Reason…that flower is going to be pretty harsh. I know…I’ve done this already. I did get high but the taste was like licking all my chemical liquid nutrients.

Yeah at 4 weeks, it’s a waste. I start early samples around week 7.

One thing marijuana growing has taught me is patience.

Trust them. If those trichomes are clear, there is nothing there. You won’t feel anything and just taste a mouth full of wet grass/hay.

You have a long ways to go still. Its worth the wait. :+1:

Don’t fret over the wait. Those flowers are going to pack on the size and weight the last couple of weeks.

Konflick. Thx for the tip. I know the right thing to do after all this time is to wait. Quarantine has me looking constantly…
