Was thinking about harvesting in 2 stages...take the top bigger buds for my friends to enjoy ...they like to get stoned...then take the bottom popcorn buds for me that don't smoke much and don't like to feel stoned...is that possible
Yes, that is possible. I can do day & night smoke from the same plant - top ripe buds @ night, lower less ripe buds for daytime.
Are you only interested in smoking? If you use edibles right, it can give you the meds without the stoned high. You can even make your own cannabis oil by using an edible carier oil, or edible glycerine. To get the dosage right might take a few tries, but Sweet Sue is very good with that, and she is very nice (if you wanna PM her or look on her threads). I can't smoke when i'm on a job - the mild stone i get from daytime smoke when at home isn't something i can do or want when dealing with clients, so i dose a few drops. I use olive oil as a carrier, younger plants dried & decarbed at 2,5g per 100ml oil, slowly infused in a slow cooker on low over 8 hours. A couple of drops orally, i'm golden. It varies according to your weight, tolerance etc, and if you do get high, it's a bit different than smoking (i feel waves of high ebbing & flowing like the tide on edibles).
Re the trichs: i've believed for years in early harvest & late harvest for different things, but read some articles a while back that just confused me mightily. I thought early harvest with clear & milky trichs had a higher % of cbd, but now i read an overripe harvest (milky & mostly amber) is better for cbd. Something about the amber breaking down into high levels of cbd during curing. Tbh, i'm very confused on the issue lately. Let's ask High.
