Early hHarvest Consequences?

[jollygreenleaf]

So, I have some nice Black Jack growing but I have to harvest it early. I would say its been flowering for 6 weeks and I would normally leave it about another 4 but that is no longer an option (for reasons Id rather not discuss). It has maybe 10% brown hairs. The leaves are getting frosty and the nugs are comin in nice, really filling in, but I have no more time. What are the real consequences of harvesting now???

...that just sucks man. Your going to lose all your weight, and potency, and it's going to taste like shit.

I'll second that!!!

You gotta do what you gotta do. Early harvest the most obvious is low yield. But also other factors such as lower THC count.

Well - the smoke COULD be more couchlock or stronger or something, just expect more clear crystals/head high and maybe not quite as much as you could have got

It should still be decent if you dry/cure it right, your total weight yield will suffer the most.
If it's a decent high-potency strain and it has packed on some trichs, it will definitely still get you high, just not as high as it could have gotten you.

At 6 weeks it will get you high man. It wont be too bad. Im taking tester nugs off my girl at 3 weeks and they got me high. Just make sure to slow dry it, and cure it for atleast 2 weeks.

yea man imo like 7 is the absolute earliest but if its that or nothing take it now...just low yeild and thc ect

That sucks man, you could always make hash or oil from it.
