35 days into flower. took first cuttings. ran out of smoke. please help

[Grrouch]

So ive got about a 4foot4inch plant its 35 days into flowering absoloutely no misplacement in trichomes. i have some scrap branches at the verry bottom that just dont recieve enough light it seems like theyre just wasting plant energy.
so i cut them and trimmed up the buds sun dried them for 12 hours and they were dry to smoke. no flush on the soil was done so the buds werent to tasty but wasnt bad either.
definately got me stoned no mistake there as i wake n baked with it.
this is my first grow and i need advice.
this lant has a suggested 35 days left of flowering...
im sick of wasting money buying weed.
i want to keep clipping nuggs off (smaller ones) so i dont have to waste any more money.
will this effect my final product. i already sized up my plant and determined just how much i want to take off and smoke before final harvest. right now its looking like a good 5 or 6 grams.
so please any advice would be great on how to cure out quick smoke from a plant or how it will effect or how it will help, whatever.
thanks

heres the top its almost as wide as solo cup. just a quick idea of how the plant looks. i am not taking this top until final harvest.

Clipping buds "can" stress your plant which will cause it to momentarily stop growing/producing buds. That being said tons of people do it and don't really notice any adverse effects. I usually trim the lower growth that I know will not see much to any light prior to inducing flowering and use them for clones. Makes for bigger buds in the upper growth.

yea so in dry weight ive taken about a gram of scrap buds from the bottom. do you think i should go ahead and take what i need now instead of over the next couple weeks bud here bud there? that means i cut a couple more tonight about an 8th worth of lower production, then that way i dont have to do it again and i can let it finish out? let it cure over from the stress thats already been indyced i guess?

 

[Grrouch]

because ive already learned to this point to trim up my stocks leabing a healthy top session for my plants from now on.
what about curing these buds for quick smoke?

 

[rocpilefsj]

The choice is yours, cutting the lower growth now "may" help in diverting more growth to your upper buds. I have never tried trimming the lower growth off half way through flowering before. I know it suck buying weed when you have buds just sitting there for the taking lol.

Leave it alone ya junkie..

jk lol, I wouldn't fuck with it, you don't want it turning hermi due to stress etc. I trim lower popcorn crap off of mine but my strain is very stable and can take it.

hey man with buds looking that good and seeing the shitty production on these lower stocky buds is just sad i want em out so the feed and water etc can concentrate n the bigger buds up top. like isaid its a 4 and a half foot plant plenty of bud on it plenty of room i guess.
like you said the downside to all of this would be stress and hermis.
im not saying i dont have money for weed which i do.
arizonas marijuana laws are causing activists to take advantage of patients by charging 60-65$ for a top shelf 8th. so i refuse to support the conduct of bulshit.
im not a junky who decided to run out and buy spice this morning cause i smoked my last snap last night.
fuck that hahaha

i know its fucking bullshit. i just know that with every obud i clip that it couldve been three times the size but it always reminds me they are popcorns.
how do you cure yours to smoke quick?

Just make sure you have your next plants timeframe planned out well. Else you might just be taking buds off now so you don't have to buy only to be having to buy later because you ran out before your next harvest.

Personally, i just consider it a waste. My other thinking is that the only reason i would be needing to trim buds off now would be due to a serious medical need for bud, in which case if it was that serious i'd be buying real bud, not using 35 days bud to try and combat said ailment. Patience is something growers just have to learn. That little bud that you quick dry and msoke might give you a bit of a heady high for an hour, but if you let it finish then those little buds might give you a proper high for many hours.

I don't smoke the crap I trim off, it's mostly inside the first 2 weeks of flower I lolly pop them plus they get a haircut before flower, the wait is worth it though

 

[Grrouch]

and my trims off those buds finnaly dried so i cleaned the grinder ground em and kiefed em, fucking awesome kief.

i can wait if it wasnt for the induced bullshit upon arizona medical marijuana patients. like isaid my situation is agarbage one

 

[Grrouch]

i mean people sell these eighths for 60-65 200 a half and 380 an oz,
my plant goes to my closest friends and patients i appreciate for 30 an 8th 120 a half and 200 an oz.

thanks for the consideration its honestly a bright one as most probably wouldnt consider it.
but its no worry as i convey pkants into my flower room
every sunday(including last night) i toss 1-2 plants in that range from 12-16" inches.
ive got six plants in my flower set right now. i tried to plan this so i could harvest atleast every week or two

If you keep clipping off buds, when harvest time does finally come, you won't have enough on the plant to last you through the next cycle.
