You wouldn't take a cake out of the oven too early same applies with harvesting cannabis, let it go for at least 2 more weeks. I thought mine were ready 2 weeks ago, it's now coming up to 3 weeks and still getting better by the day.
I always loose track I would estimate about 9 or 10 weeks. Yeah it's certainly tempting to chop but it just looks and smells better each day I leave it. Must get to a point where it degrades though
Yeah I'll probably give them a dunk in some fresh water after I cut them. I'm just a little worried some of the terpines might be lost from doing so though
