Ok OK....look this is my first time growing. They are 8 weeks old so i am thinking since its the top part of the plant that is where the potent buds would appear if i did'nt chopped/ topped it. They do have the marijuana odor on it and they are old enough to go into flowering but i prefer to wait (restraining myself) till the branches are big enough to hold 8 top lushes buds per plant. Now i have these cuttings from the top of the main stems ( call it what you like colas / stems / groups of leaves.) I have not seen any one posting saying that they had tried smoking it at this stage so i am curious. I am sure the affect would not be very damaging if it dose not get me high. Then again it would be one less thing for me to ponder about. Soon enough i will know from first hand experience and can transfer my encounter to those who might come across this situation. HMMM..after writing this i felt like i should've ate one when it was fresh to see if i can put it into a cooking recipe.
