I got a plant which is 7.5 weeks flowering and two days ago I cut one of the smaller buds near the bottom and dried it out and smoked it and loved the head high I got but my concern is the plant doesn't look big enough for 7.5 weeks flowering.. do they stop plumping up by this far in or should I wait?
quick question..

Upload some pics dude that will help us guys help you out a lot more accurately. Basically what strain are you growing? Is it more Sativa Dom or Indica?

Totally depends on the strain, but IMO if you like it a lot, chop it as the farther you go the stonier it will get. Also, while you're gaining experience with grows/a particular strain, you can chop one branch per week until harvest. That way you have a linear timeline to go on for your next grow of the same strain.
Typically, most people harvest when 20% of the trichromes turn amber or thereabouts. They start out clear, and turn milky when ripening. If you have all milky but no amber, you're on the early end of your window and will get a clearer heady high. The more amber you develop the stonier it will be and the later into your window you get. Better just a bit early I think, as it will continue to degrade in your jars while you run through your stockpile.
If fully ripe, and it's too stoney for you, try another strain.

It would certainly help to get some pics but a fully mature MJ plant can be 12 in. or 12 ft.,it varies a lot from strain to strain as well as with different growing techiques- LST, Fimming, SCROG, topping, lolipopping, Aero/hydroponics Environmental factors - high temps, low temps, high humidity, low humidity, light intensity, distance of light from plant substrate- Soil, Coco, hydro.....Sooo many factors that come into play, always try to provide as many details as you can so we can give better advice.
Sounds like your plants doin just fine
Good luck
