Is it okay to rip off one of the lower buds without any negative effects on the plant? Ordered a jewelers loupe but not coming in time for harvest(5 days from today) so I wanted to get a small nug from the bottom plant to see it’s potency

I don't know about potency but I like to take a sample from under. Gives you an idea of taste/terps. I set mine in a net for like a week and then sample.

Okay okay, I was going to rip a little branch off (popcorn nug) off of the lowest branch and smoke that to see where it was

Hell ya...send me a sample!...
as long as your least a few wks or more into flower and good resin development...you may get a proper Buzz....Resins by variety are unpredictable till you try them directly...
I sample my varieties all thru Flower stage to find the Best Effect Window...Then work toward hitting that mark next round if it doesnt end up in that window naturally....
Clear resins can be effective....Cloudy even more so...But I test all stages...Clear, Cloudy and Amber....Cause maybe the effect from the Cloudy is more your type then a early clear resin or well matured Amber resins...Learn from the Plant...
power to it

I'll be watching bro! I chose green crack for my first strain, just on day 26 of 12/12 now. The seller reckoned these are done in seven weeks but I assume the usual marketing bs and guess it will be more like 9. My girls on day 23 in pics.

Love you hear how you go, you got pics? I've heard can be a really good yielder. Good daytime buzz by all accounts. I'll certainly be picking a bud or two before the nine weeks

Thanks man,I was messing around a bit. Been here taking some first cuts today. This round is a first for me,trying an incremental harvest and see how it works out. Nothing wrong with testers just don't do the microwave...

Same! I chose green crack for my first strain yours looked way better than mine I had problems with overwatering so it messed up my yield so I don’t think im going to yield to much but I grew four plants and all pretty different phenos I’m loving the characteristics, they smell so fruity but I have one that smells like rubber a little

Green crack was one of the first strains I grew as a total novice tent grower. Dude gave me 1 seed from HSO,at least I think that was the breeder. I ended up running it for awhile. A couple pics.
