If I pluck a bud off to start a quick dry and a taste test will that harm the plant on the overall health of the plant?

You can do it and the plant will not be harmed by that . Ps : many growers are doing that to try a weed before harvest

No it will not harm it. You may still taste the nutes in it and bear in mind you'll still have to dry it which will take 5-7 days and it won't have the cured flavour. 👍🌱

Pistils turning brown?
Noticed quite a few pistils have been browning. I’m not sure if this is a sign of anything? I kicked her into 12/12 about 3-4 wks ago, and I thought the budlets were looking good up until now. This is my first grow so I’m still learning, any help would be appreciated!

Flowering 49 day no smell.
Friends, I think 10 more days to harvest. This is a skunk # 1 auto and is on the 49th day of flowering. The scent is very little yet!

Vuelta a floración
Es posible que una chica autofloreciente vuelva a florecer cuando ya parecía estar terminando la floración? Y en estos casos qué se hace? Esperamos que maduren los nuevos pistilos o nos guiamos por los tricomas? Gracias de antemano.

More or Less nutes and Molasses?
My first time grow and my autos are in flowering. I’ve been giving them grandmas molasses (half teaspn/1gal) every feeding along with her other nutes. She’s been taking them well, should I up the dose? Or feed every other watering?

Fat Banana Auto buds growing purple?
Can anyone tell me why my fat banana auto is growing purple bits please? I’ve been looking at some other grows to compare and I’ve not seen it on anyone else's plants. At first I thought it was pretty cool, but now I’m worried I’ve done something wrong!

Is this a unsuccessful grow? Outdoor grow
Is it weird that my roommates plant is flowering at a month and a half? So only 6 inches long and had like 8 true leaves. How long does he have before harvesting this? How would increase the amount of flower in a plant? And how does one increase the amount of trichomes?

Hey guys anyone ever tried back building buds? I tried it late in my last grow on one cola and the cola solidified; ie. more dense but not bigger I think I was a bit late. I’m almost 3 weeks in right now, would now be a perfect time? Thanks!

Help!! Do I harvest?
About 50% milky, 40% clear trichome heads. But in some minor spots, they are all dark brown/amber. Its supposed to be a Forbidden Cherry Automatic (Dutch Passion), but did not turn purple. I want it to be a bit more relaxing, indica-like. Week 11, outdoor balcony grow.

Bud rot?
Finishing up drying. Temps always 68-72f with rh around 57-67. The extreme high or low was for short while. Most of the time it was 60rh. Is this bud rot? Seems like it's on the leaves r stem area. Tan/brown ish color I'd say. Sand like almost in texture and color.
