I've got plenty of smoke but I take test buds from my plants to judge effects, there's nothing wrong with that. Even @Mossy suggests it.Please stop calling me buddy and friend.
I go by the amount of amber trichomes.
I seriously doubt a 43 day plant has any amber on her but I've been wrong before.
I don't typically sample from live or recently harvested plants unless I've been out of weed, which you admitted to in your thread. That was probably some influence in your decision to chop her so soon?
