Ok I have 4 Raspberry cough plants flowering 2 weeks apart, they are a 9 to 11 week flower time strain, But since week 5 it has been smokable (it is almost to intense of a high, but i think i like it :) ) I have my plants two weeks apart so my oldest is 8 weeks in flower(been smoking it daylie for 3 weeks now, I cut a bud off the plant and ether microwave it or put it In my Cool tube)

It is a INSTINT mind fBomb when you get a good hit!!!

so do you think it will have a better head high if i pick it at 9 weeks or wait till 11 weeks???

If i did not read it was a 9-11 week strain it could pass for a 6 week strain.

or should i wait 11 weeks and if i dont like it i can pick the next bacth sooner?

my plants are 2 weeks apart so one is 8 weeks in flower the next is 6 and than 4 and than 2 weeks in (than i am waiting four weeks to put my ACE OF SPADES in to flower because it is a 8 week strain, so I harvest every 2 weeks :)

instant mind fbomb = not done
head + some body feeling = harvest :D

Get a microscope...look at your trichomes and check their cloudyness...you want cloudy + a hint of amber...look at your pistils and once they are browning and receding into swollen calyxes the combination of all that tells you its time :)

oh but by all means if you enjoy nothing but a heady high then chop some now and start drying it...I'd wait for the rest though to get a fuller longer stone out of it :)

oh yeah, there are so frosty they are white from week 4 so I am thinking 11 weeks will make it that much better, I am useing my oldest plant as my dayle MED's and i dont plan on buying a bag , so I just fast dry alittle every day, ... it is already better than any thing going around,
 
The only definitive way to know they're ready to chop is the trichome color. Massah got it right; you want mostly cloudy trichomes with some amber color in there. The more amber trichomes, the more body oriented the stone will be.
