What would happen if you smoke buds from the plant early?

I am new to growing and thought that more bud sites was good then it was recommended to cut the small bud sites that would not get much light to let the plant use more energy on the bigger bud sites on it but to only cut the small bud sites like 1 at a time every few days. I am now on day 54 and I still have a few small bud sites that I am cutting off but the buds have orange hairs on them. The buds are very small but maybe like nickel to quarter sized. It feels like a waste to throw it away. Would it be ok to dry it and try to smoke it? What would that be like? Less potent but still worth doing? What do you think? Is there any reason not to try it on there? I put the buds in a small plastic grocery type bag that I use for trimmings like defoliated leaves in the tent on there.

Do they have trichomes on them?

Thanks. I did not really look. I put them in a plastic grocery store bag I use for trimmings in the tent with leaves I have defoliated then started thinking about it today if it may be useful. The buds are sticky and sugar on the leaves though very small like maybe the thickness of a thumb here and there for it on there.

The sugar is the trichomes. Smoke it!

Particularly if you have newer-type, higher penetrating lighting, unless buds are at the very bottom few inches or clearly buried in dark shade, I don't remove them. Using mostly AutoCOBs, I find buds up and down the stalks to be comparable.

As an "accidental experiment", I killed off one of my girls like 3 weeks early. She had a little bit of brown hairs, but mostly still white hairs. I went ahead and dried her and gave her a shot. Needless to stay, still got me very stoned. However, I could tell that the potency was a bit less as I took that same strain to full growth (80% milky, 20% amber) and it smoked a bit better and was definitely a bit more potent.

@the123321 at this point I would just leave em there but thats me. The time you should cut the.bottom stuff is preferably before full flower cuznthey won't grow much after that. That's what I do i cut the lower stuff before so that when they start to flower, all the energy goes to the higher stuff.

Thanks. I may look at it to see what the trichomes look like on there.

I've been trimming lil buds off my northern lights As need for air and light and they give me a pretty good buzz.. Not a great taste, but for a lil buggers they're potent.
