The title says it all, my girl probably has a few weeks left but I want to smoke now. So be a pal and tell me if I can snip a bud off early?

yes, do it. pick a bud on a bottom branch, so it doesn't screw up your main colas. if you want to quick dry it, trim off the sugar leaves and leave it in a paper bag for a couple of days, and you'll be able to smoke it. it'll probably taste like shit, but it'll get you high

No! I am sorry, if you do that, we'll be forced to report you to the Bud Police! 
Of course it's okay to pinch a bud early...we all do it 
Course it won't taste as good as it will after curing 
But it should still "knock yer dik in the dirt" so to speak 
Good luck with your harvest and let us know how the "appetizer" smoked...LOL

I literally do it every time. I would say to wait until you are like 2 weeks away from harvest. Its a good way to see how your babies are coming along and a good indication of what you will get when you are all finished. Let us know how it goes!

personally, I would not pick an early bud as it's not ready so why bother...but if you do, take the 3 to 4 days to dry it slowly....and please no microwaving, that is just plain nasty evil
IMHO.....after about 2 weeks in jars is when I would consider sampling my first little taster bud

Plucking more than a week early on top of quick drying is just terrible and doesnt get me high
