Cut 'em.
Me? I only cut the ripest and shuck them hanging in the tent. I let the others stay on the plant, because I don't like to get "backed-up" with too many plants hanging. Once they start to dry-out (2-days hanging), the stems shrink from plump to almost invisible and they become too difficult to trim. Don't bury yourself in raw hanging plants. Trimming must be done leisurely or it's too much like a 9 to 5 job-grind.
