aspiegeek,,
some folks believe an indica, which yours appears to be, and most are these days, some believe an indica is best harvested slightly on the underripe side, as it produces a better high,,
my opinion,, if the high is thot to be just as good or better with an under ripe plant, then why not harvest slightly under ripe?? especially if it means the next plant in line gets an earlier start,,
again, a win win win my friend
your plant looks very close to ripe,, but a bit more will not hurt, for sure
great job gettin to here friend,, cheers
