That is way to early, the weed will be useless no high at all just a headache, let it mature for as long as it needs if you want something worth smoking.

I'm going to assume 4th week of flower. My first grow I experimented with this. The yield will be considerably smaller; I mean WAY smaller. The high you will get off this yield will most likely be light buzzes that fade quickly.
Why not wait until the 10th week?

Also, I chapped a plant early (about week 7 into flowering) and the difference in taste compared to a plant that flowered full term is night and day. The young plant is way harsh.

Just my experiences. If I were you, I would be patient and wait the 10 weeks. You'll get better quality and more quantity if you do.

this is true my friend chops early all the time and the weed sucks, he does everything write appart from chopping 3 weeks early all the time

 

[dura72]

why are u wanting to chop so soon anyway? youve done all the hard work and went to the expense and trouble of waiting this long so why not give it a another 3 weeks at least, and even thats really not long enuff. i was going to chop mine tomorrow, that will be 7 weeks of flower and yes the colas are large and lookin real good but i saw sum pics from a guy growing the same strain as me ( the church) and the difference was bloody massive, his buds were fuller, richer looking and almost cone shaped, mines are tall and tubular( not a great word choice but you know what i mean!)the hairs were all reddish brown , his grow is two weeks further on than mine and hes goin for another two weeks, this maybe too much but i will definetly be going 9 weeks and then 3 days of total darkness. i recon 2 to 3 extra weeks will put around 25 to 40% on the yeild as well as producing a much richer and mature smoke. dont do it man it'd be a waste.

heres a pic but ill take evetyones word n wait

 

[ironlings]

and another one

 

[ironlings]

two more

 

[shrigpiece]

they will be lovly buds in 4 or 5 weeks. plants look healthy im glad your gonna wait.

 

[ironlings]

here are the other two 4th week as well

 

[tip top toker]

i would never ever cut that early unless i really had to as said, the yeild and high will be pretty crappy, and what looks like a "big" bud on the plant this early, will grind down into jack shit, and you'll find you're out of smoke before the weekend is up

 

[ironlings]

what would you guys say is the EARLIEST i would be able to harvest a plant????

 

[tip top toker]

whenever you want...


you shouldn't harvest it until it's ready though. end of

 

[ironlings]

tru i thought i had patients but iguess not but i will wait i gunna start growing cup parties lst style

 

[tip top toker]

as in party cups? that will require lots of frequent watering.

and yes, unfortunately it's all about patience. i know i have a cheese in flower that i could cut and smoke now, and it would probably last me about 2 days due to it's potency and yield. i know this would save me some money until the rest are done. i also know if i say screw it, i might end up with 3 ounces of the best bud around by waiting another 5 weeks. patience is probably one of the more important sides to growing.

if you are any good at growing and use good stock you can get quite tirippy high buzz off buds from 5-6 weeks into flowering but you will have less bud..........if you leave it to long and she fills with resin she will become harsh and the stone less heavy...all a matter of taste at the end of the day but you waited this long havent you..so wait a while longer

 

[ironlings]

got any pickaS?

 

[HomeGrown420baby]

u need better flowering nutrients..ur still feeding it veg nutes in flower huh?

 

[ironlings]

im giving its jacks classic bloom well just started about two weeks ago

 

[~Pokesmot~420]

wait until the pistils sink into the bud kinda and itll look very ready, or get a cheap handheld microscope from radioshack for 7 bucks and loook at the trichomes and decide what kinda high you want from the plant. Also mix 1-2 teaspoons of mollases per gallon of water to make the buds swell up really nice. 6 or 7 weeks maybe till harvest. itll be worth the wait
