Is it possible to harvest a plant 4 weeks into budding? My plants have been in budding for 4 weeks now and the trichs are already cloudy and turning amber, is this a bad thing or do some strains just finish budding that early? The reason I ask is because I'm pretty sure the buds are not as big as they are supposed to be.

to my knowledge it is depends on what kind of high you want i believe when they are cloudy that it is more of a head high and when they are more of an amber it is a body high but im not sure that is jus what i have heard in my past. and i believe you can harvest when ever you feel you want to but your buds will get bigger the further you get into flowering i believe the average is about 60 days but depends on personal situation and strain hope this was somewhat useful to you good luck. if you have a pic i could probably tell you or a more veteran person would definently be able to tell you everyting is easier wit a pic
I don't think you understand what I meant, no offense. What I want to know is if some plants finish budding faster than others because my plants have been budding for 4 weeks only so far and the trichs are already cloudy and starting to turn amber but the buds don't seem big enough yet.
Do some plants only require 4 weeks of budding?!

yes some strains do flower quicker than others some are used for 3 month turn arounds from germination to harvest others are used for a year turn around germination to harvest not sure wat strain is for wat tho. i would say another 2 weeks then harvest your plant should get remarkably bigger and should look right. there i hope that answered your question and if it didnt sorry i couldnt help you out

i,ve heard 6 weeks is the lowest flower time, I'd wait at least another 2 weeks because if anything those calyscs will just plumpen up even more. I'd even wait past the time you think its done at least 70 percent red hairs, you'll just be disappointed and regrete a premature harvest, good luck brotha

when you top it jus adds a lil extra time to your veg. time but i think its worth it at the end

yeah ive heard that blueberry reacts very very well to topping. but i would just take a bud off and try some quick dry method so u can sample.
