Man let them go as long as you can as the buds will puff up right before they finish. Last year i went out and one plants cola doubled in size over night, i about shit. But you dont want to miss out on this, because its a huge difference. I took a couple early and regretted it after i saw what they will do.

When ya harvest, ya hang the branches till when you bend the branch and hear a snapping noise. Then i put them in a paper bag for a week, then cut the buds off and put them in jars. Sometime if there is to much leaf on buds that are not finished yet, but after its finished and cured it will smell great. Just give them more time, hell some of mine are just starting to flower and i sprouted them in May. The longer they go the more potent their going to be. If your out of smoke and need to buy some time, just take a few lower buds. Hell if ya cut one meaning a bud up in the afternoon with a fan on it, you could smoke it that night. And more people do it then ya think, lol.
