Hey guys I am on my 9th week of flowering and I can tell that most of the buds have some more time to ripen, BUT I was wondering what would happen if I plucked off one bud just to see how it smokes and all...it has the most orange hairs but I def don't want to mess up the rest of the plant...let me know if anyone has done this or if I shouldnt do it because of the rest of the plant growing process. Thanks all.

Keep it small an tward the top, they are more mature than the small buds below.
But to get a decent sample I let it slow dry for about 3 days then quick dry an sample.

Staggered harvests are something i do regularly. Leaving the bottom smaller stuff after taking the main finished colas gives it time to swell up and finish.

Ok thanks for the responses...problem is on this plant the most developed buds are at the bottom..should I still pick them off? And has anyone experienced any bad side effects of this?

how is it that you figure that the most developed buds are at the bottom? that defies all logic. either way, it wont hurt your plant, so snip and smoke some bud.
GO FOR IT.
