Thought I'd share the results of my experiment. Well actually not so much an experiment as I ran out of weed and money so I chopped the ripest looking bud on my autoflower at 7 weeks. I'm sure most people can relate. Fast dried it in 4 days, made a very tight dense bud. Looked just like dispensary weed. Got ripped but it tasted like lawn clippings. Fast forward 1 week, clipped another bud [8 weeks old] super fast dried it in a day in a half, got fucked to the walls! Tasted like lawn clippings with an aftertaste of hash. Definitely better than the 7 week bud. I'm at 9 weeks now and it looks pretty sexy we'll see how it compares in a day or so potency wise. Got some funds so off to the dispensary we go so no more clipping till full harvest and we might even cure it a while.
