I've done a 24hr dry on small buds. Throw them on something blowing heat, like an Xbox. They taste a bit harsh but when your out and you just chopped a bitch down, it'll work.
And if you see any others, rip them off. It will be fine. Not like you are losing weight by ripping them off... and if they do turn out to be boy parts, you'll be bummed when they spill pollen all over.
I have a single branch near the bottom that I haven't clipped off when I did my pre flip lower cleanup, I left it there just to clip off on day 45,Dec 5th, I have a "thing" on the 10th and I want to be able to smoke it then, figured it would be about a j, turning into a 3g branch now though
However around 6 weeks it will start getting you high, the high is real buzzy, all head, it can be pretty strong depending on the strain, but it goes away quick. Doesn't have the power it will later. 7 weeks is that much more stronger, but still nothing like waiting till it's done. If I only had a couple plants and my harvest needed to see me through a long time, I would try not to clip any, just so it will all be as strong as it can be. Or at least as nice as it can be. I've harvested a plant part at 7, 8, 9, 10 weeks, I think the 10 week was the 'strongest' but not the most enjoyable high. It's sweet spot was really just over 8 weeks. I wanted to see the difference in the smokes at the different times. My favorite was the 7 week stuff, as the rest was just too strong for me. I'm a bit of a lightweight. These days I like to harvest some early on purpose because I like having a stash of less strong, more up buzzy smoke on hand.
Going well, I am getting some color in pistils also, my clippings packed a decent buzz so I am semi optimistic, I'll post up some pics later, not much different looking than 30 days, but definately getting heavier, branches are starting to pull themselves over a bit more, thankfully no mites or pm here, just a gnat or 2, nothing I can't control so far. Hope all is well with the rest of this thread too
They look great for 3 weeks. I'm on day 17 and I'm behind yours in terms of bud size.
People give me shit about it, but the guy who got me started goes for 5 days dark before flip. So I started doing it too, but generally around three days. It does "seem" to jump start them. Because of the mostly contrary views here, I did flip immediately once and their early maturity was stunted in comparison... Not really recommending it, not enough personnal testing...but you may try it sometime as it won't hurt.
Going well here too. Today is 5 weeks. I am mucking different lighting, augmenting my HPS with some t5 blues and at least at thus point, frost development is better than plain HPS...the first couple weeks I left the MH going and switched after the stretch. Even though the HPS should increase my yield at this point my buds are ok but maybe a bit less than my all-MH grows. Still have high expectations.
I just did cuttings a week ago. I create 2 plants as mothers every grow to clone from. I do so because I only have one room and a cloning cabinet. So, I wait about 3-4 weeks after flip so they do not outgrow the cabinet. The mothers sadly get tossed except during my summer grow. I supercrop the mothers and it creates some easy cut choices.
