What a stupid question?

(Please don't insult people. Everyone has to learn at some point. *RMJL)




Uhhh plants with leaves, dont have buds yet.

They will develop them.

Unless there male.




Ever smoke bud?

Don't insult the guy doesn't know anything.

Triggasmokealot- the reason you are seeing two different pictures on here is there are two different stages in an mj plants life.
1. The first is the vegetative state. This is where a grower gives a plant over 18 hours of light a day to making it think its summer. During this time a plant will simply grow lots of leaves and get bigger and bigger and so forth. At this time during the plants life there really isn't any thc being made on the plant. (thc is the chemical substance giving you the high) The veg cycle normally last for about a month inside but its up to the grower.

2.The flowering cycle is when a grower/nature reduces the light to 12 hours a day or less. This causes the plants to show sex and mature. Male plants will produce pollen sacks and little to no thc and thus are normally killed and not smoked. Female plants will shoot out little white hairs. After they make so many the plant will start to create buds. The bud is where the highest concentration of thc is. This is what you smoke to get you high. So to make short story long, the plants with buds galore are much much much better.

No problem man. Well when/if you live own your own I would highly recomend doing some growing of your own. Saves on the cost of weed. You get to smoke the best kind and any kind you want. And you can throw as many partys as you want =). Just food for thought.
