Burmeseanswered grow question 4 years ago Hey friend, I also taste my buds before harvest.It also didn’t last long.That’s why proper drying and curing buds come first before smoking.Also your buds don’t seem to be fully ripen yet.When they are ripen, leaves will show deficiencies, yellowing and most of the white pistils become orange.The best method is using 60x microscope and check trichomes colour.If trichomes are mostly milky/cloudy about 80/90 % and fill with some amber colour.That’s the best time for you to harvest.Happy Growing...
