Hey, how long does it take for buds to form on a plant and if you dont wait long enough will the bud still get you high just not as good? thanx
that really depends on the strain. some plants flower quicker than others... if you harvest early you will get high, but it'll be a different type of high than if you harvested at peak ripeness.
check the clarity of the THC crystals under a magnifying glass/microscope. If they are mostly clear then they are ready, once they start to turn brown in colour the THC levels are dropping.
