This year was my first serious outside grow. Last year a friend gave me a plant and that was my practice. After reading hundreds of posts and watching the same on You tube I thought I was ready, boy was I wrong. I thought having big plants was going to be awesome, what I didn’t think of was how heavy they would get. I have three plants in 30 gallon fabric pots all over eight feet tall tied and staked at the bottom and staked with posts on the inside. We had a pretty big storm last night with heavy rain and wind. One of my plants fell over because the branches are too long and tops are so heavy, and it figures that one probably had about two more weeks to go. Needless to say I have some trellis netting coming today for the other two plants. Any how the damage was done and I had two choices, toss it or try to salvage something. So I cut it down and saved the best bud branches. I didn’t do much of trimming and just hung them up. Do you guys think I’m wasting my time with these or can they still be used?

I get it, but I think you harvested too early. They have white pistils still, my guess is the trichomes are still mostly clear. You’re gonna get a real funky high and not necessarily in a good way. Next grow let them go lnoger, probably another 3-4 weeks. Pistils will turn red/darker and receed, then use a jeweler’s loupe to check trichomes. I like 10-20% amber and the rest milky.

The buds definitely didn’t reach ful maturity. But some is smoke dry it and trim it Ike normal. Only time will tell 
Nice work and old save.
Happy farming…
I was thinking of trying to use it for edibles or butter, anything but smoking. I trellis netted my other two so I won’t have to worry about it later.
