I tryed that my first grow, tasted shit and didnt make me high

I know it's hard to hold out bro but it will be worth it like tenakey said it will taste like shit and won't get you very high for long and it's really harsh . And if you leave it to be matured that bud you were thinking about chopping will be much bigger and better and if you must take a lower popcorn bud

Week 5 is a little early to take a sample. I often pinch a small bud to sample, especially if it's a strain I have not grown before, but I like to wait till around week 8 or so. I do it to get an idea of how the high/stone is so I can have a better idea on when I want to harvest for the kind of effect I'm looking for.

bro you are only half way there.i take a limb now an then but i wait to 8 weeks at least let the rest go 10 weeks usually--that is lr#2 ,cronic ryder,and diesel ryder--the trics were startin to get cloudy at 8 weeks-----nuked the test bud at 5 secs on 10 seconds off for 1 1/2 minutes
until dry---buzz was a up type high 5/10 buzz-----76 days on the rest---buzz was a good couch stone worth the 2 weeks extra growing

I just got tempted for the first time last night to pull off a bud and I did pull a small one off from the bottom and threw that sucker in the microwave and it was horrible tasting but did get me high. I'm also on day 72 though.

five weeks is way too early, and if you microwave it odds are you'll burn off any of the canabinoids anyway. What we do here at the pig pen is pinch one off when it gets a few weeks closer than that to finishing and throw it right into the vape. No worries about needing to dry it as it's a self drying process. We did this at a fancy dinner party with a couple we had over and we all got a three hour case of the giggles. Has to be in a vape though.

low 2 you can take top buds from approx wk 6, will be a little harsh, but will work, i always do to get a taste for develpment, at this stage tho the bud will be strong, just not heavy as the last couple of weeks is when the bud really flowers out and the weight increases,hold off as long as poss! but it will work, dont micro it tho! dry in sun or warm place for couple days

i say scope it if you got one. i am guilty of chopping whole plants a little early. depending on what you see in your microscope along with desperation, and needs are also crucial factors when it comes to deciding when the time's right for chopping the girls down.i use a hair dryer, and paper lunch bag with slits in it to hasten the drying process along...when i need weed desperately. it works pretty good.

Also remember that patience is a virtue. That thumb sized bud you just removed from your plant that won't even get you high might be fist sized and dank after a few more weeks. I've had it happen. Cutting early will always severely downgrade your results. You should be able to go a few weeks without bud if you're a recreational smoker, and if you're a med patient it hasn't even developed medical properties at that stage so you're robbing yourself of future medicine. I've been guilty of this in the past and kicked myself in the ass till it was black and blue.
