^^ yep, when supply is running low or just out of curiosity im always picking buds off lol
i tend to pull a few branches off if i have nothing else
it will do the trick, the potency is good its still quick hitting but does not last as long
i find it is the taste that lets it down the most, or the expansion of the smoke
when its only 6 weeks the smoke is much thinner some strains can have plenty of flavor by then
but the smoke is still thin on most plants, maybe some afgani and kush still have a more full smoke
but most are thin takes me a couple of days to get used to, but sometimes i have only smoked
weed i have pulled straight from the plants for weeks until they are ready
peace
