potential THC in juvenile defoliated leaves

[purplemoon]

Hi everyone, my first grow and first post.
Everything going well, 2 plants at 15+" in 4 weeks, loads of bud sites developing.
My question is that I've cropped a few big(ish) leaves (40 grams worth) that were covering over baby buds and was wondering if there's any point in keeping them for decarbing, with a view to making some butter?
Is the THC in them so faint that it's not worth bothering with?

Thanks for any opinions!

The leaves themselves usually dont have THC in them. If they are coated in trichomes then yes, keep them to make hash or what not but if no trichomes, i'd compost or toss the leaves.

aha, right. Well, thanks for letting me know.

Use them to eat fresh or juice them, I did just take leaves from a Greasy Grapes and came back with sticky fingers.

I turn them into tea after decarbing them. It's a very relaxing tea even though I don't add any buds ( you can add buds if so inclined). There is a minor amount of THC in fan leaves but not enough for any euphoria unless you consume them in large quantities like Cheech & Chong used to do:laugh:
