Okay, i'm going to start my first grow in beginning of may, and so i think they should be ready around october. Exactly what parts of the plant do u harvest. Do u pick the leaves off and grind them up for shwag, or is that the stem? What other parts of the plant do u take off and how do u do it? Pics would be helpfull. Thanks guys.
dude, flower them and see If you wanna smoke those random leaves, by all means go for it..but that shit is hella nasty... You could make bubblehash with the trim. Read up on the fruiting/flowering cycle and seek out some pics.
