Early Harvest =? beasters?

If you take the buds before the crystals change from cleasr to milky, and none show orange.... and then dont dry it right/cure it long enough... to what degree does this represent the final properly matured (2 more weeks) and propery dried bud. Suppose this imaginary world where we hypothesize everything, we cut it down two weeks early and quick dried it. And it was kind of like beasters, with a short lasting, mild head high, that ended later in a headache. Just a curious question for all of you cats who cant control the cravings and cut the chron clearly early, and quick smoke some. How did the quick smoke stack up compared to the final buds? Much difference/low difference/ etc. Basically, if you have ultranugget and cut it down early before the hairs recede into the calyx and they swell, and before they crystal trichomes turn milky, is that what beaster sense nug is?
thanks

haha!!
same question for me please??
but to answer your question; i just took a sneaky sample for a joint from my plant, and its 2 weeks before harvest and oh my god, its amazing...BUT im gena wait it out until its fully developed and when the trichs are 50% milky and 50% translucent (that gives a stronger "high" as oppose to a "stoned/couch lock" feeling if you know what i mean).
If you pick before this time, you may not have reached your maximum THC and yield potential.
Hope this helps!! took a loooong time to write as im pretty caned

There's a huge difference. From your explanation, you picked some buds too early BUT the good thing is is that it is NOT an indication of what your weed is going to be like when finsihed.
I tried that at that stage and mine was the same and 2 to 3 weeks later it is some real kick *ss smoke.
If thats not enough to convince you to wait I don't know what is 'cause I head that headache feeling.:cry:

thanks for the advice. in imaginary land there might be 4 plants of an indica purps heavy cross with some high powered sativas a few gens back(purps x super dog x super silver haze x purps). They are all in slightly different phases of devlopment. One of them is a week or so deeper, and is "purpling" where the leaves are changing to purple and the undergrowth big leaves are yellowing hard. The calyxes are perking up, and under a 60x microscope this plant might show about 50% trichome milky colorization with a scant sprinkiling of purplish trichomes (10%). The next developed plant might be further than the others as a result of being under more metal halide and less hps. This plant in imaginary world has more bud formation and slightly swelled calyxes with a bit of pistil recede action. Still upon microscopic analysis, only 10% or less trichomes show colorization milky and none show amber/purple. The final 2 had some rough light/nute bvurn and serious leaf browning. They are a wee bit behind in bud development, but very much immature by shear visual signs. The buds are thin and more pistil than calyx, and no trichomes show milky color, and significantly less are even properly formed. I just hit them all with a heavy feed dose, sugar, and humic acid, didnt burn them i dont think. I was going for a week on them all with just water, unsure about when to initiate flushing. I might feed them on different schedules, and hit the less developed(but nute burned) plants with a final power round of feed and clear the further along ones starting next watering cycle (tomorrow). 4 plants in 3 gallon pots vegged 10 weeks topped + trained each under >400 w hid (mixed scattering 2 mh 3 hps) with 27 total branches (4 main stem tied out branches each with candleabra formation). I pulled about 6 lesser developed secondary branches down and wet trimmed about 50g worth. After blazing through half it wet and drying some im, guesstimating it was about 1/2 - 3/4 oz dry. It didnt impress my hardcore hessian blazers friends, who didnt have the same motivation to hold the flame to it for 30 seconds and powersmoke a wet bowl that tasted "green". But im still blazed.. in imaginary world.... from a post nap wake and bake circa 1 hr ago., so moral of the story is ...patience grasshopper....
