take a smaller 2-4g sample, it will not hurt the plant one bit or affect yield in any way.
some growers cut off their colas when they are past ripeness, but leave the smaller branches to flower out thicker for 2-3 weeks.
maybe try drying the sample in the toaster for a few minutes on low or let the vape dry it off on a low setting.
i've done it, although i dried it properly. if you're desperate cut off whatever you want, and stick it in the oven at like 150, don't keep it in there for long.
the smoke will be harsh but the high will be what you want
i do mione in the oven at about 80 (c?) for 10-30mins depending on quantity and it aint gonna hurt your plant 2 much as long as u dont rape it. best not to as much as possible as for example say u take 3 g of immature oven dried bud that could have grown into 7g of prime properly dried weed thats been nicely dried in its own time...
Mine are not this far along, but I'm going to probably do something like this as well -- take an early sample. It's been over a decade since I partook so I will be ansy to try it.
i wouldnt cut off a nug and smoke it.. it needs to dry and cure before ,.,.,.,.cmon guys!! taking a break and waiting till its properly done is the only way 2 go
I've done it but only because i broke it off on accident left it in a sunny window all day and smoked that fucker up. It was better than the fucked up dispensary dryed out kiefed off of shit!
Shit wait on it properly ? Fuck that ! If your broke ,hurting and in need,.................................... your plant is a friend indeed !
i'd say take a lower bud the 1's towards the top of the plant will fill out in their last couple of weeks so take something lower down to save losing weight lots of people to do it for an early sample
it's going to continue growing, so anything you remove will decrease the yield by more than what you actually remove. Other than that, it won't hurt it as long as you don't start removing real infrastructure, it's really up to you.
It takes serious self control to not snip some off.. I've been battling it for about a week now.. I know what I have will do the job but I'm letting her finish without chopping on her.
