The book is called "Marijuana Grower's Guide" -by Mel Frank

It was first published in 1978(sorry I said 1979 before) In Los Angeles California.

...now you know why it used to be called "grass"

I have the 1997 Revised Color Edition(Deluxe), but all the text is the same as the original(Im guessing)

Here's a sample from page 286 Chapter Twenty- Harvest
"Leaves: We have emphasized that you should harvest grass during the course of the season. One reason is to assure yourself a return for your efforts. It is a sad commentary on our times that the greatest danger in growing marijuana outdoors is that the plants may be ripped off. On a more positive note, vegetative shoots and leaves can be surprisingly potent and should be sampled.
The potency of each new set of leaves is higher than the last pair until a plateua is reached, usually during the middle of vegetative growth. Thereafter the potency of new leaves stays about the same as in those preceding. Often there is a noticeable decline in potency just prior to flowering. Leaves that form during the flowering are usually more potent than those formed during the vegetative plateua. Leaves that form after the bloom are less potent."

so... hes not totally crazy.. just doing things old school

Id like to point out that this book in fact comes from california

it isn't as good as buds but is sure beats the pants off of nothing.
My buddy smokes leaves from veg all the way through flower. Guy is really hard core. Unfortunately I cannot make him realize that he is sacrificing bud, shocking his plants, and not even getting high. This is a pic of his plants 5 weeks into flower. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!Picture 016.jpg

Hmm...well I will make sure that my plants don't look like that one...but the one I am taking from right now literally has 40 branches...it was a plant that was in 5 weeks flower in hydro and it looked like shit cuz we went on vacation and I just couldn't take it anymore so I went and got some FFOF soil and put it in the soil and started it vegging again...or course I snipped off most of the buds at least on the sides, but when you veg a bud it grows a crazy MJ bush, or tree even....Not to mention this plant is a 12 week+ Sativa...and it is only 2 weeks into flower, so there is A LOT of recovery time left...lol. I am not worried about hurting it...I have been growing just this one strain for the past 2 years---until recently it has been my only strain...So we have come to know each other very personally...and to tell you the truth finnicky bitch that she is I love her and all her weird little clones...lol

LOL thats funny, so he harvested as soon as he saw buds poppin? lol

Making bubble hash is the way to go, ends up with a better product than the bud itself so long as you dont throw any bigger leaves in the mix. Im gunna use all the trimmings/popcorn buds from my sativas to make some sweet bubble hash. How much do the bags cost?

You can, but man leaves are harsh. I smoked some leaves off an ak48 plant a while back. No lie though I got pretty baked. But bud is always the ideal thing to smoke haha.
