when to crop?

[crack pipe joe]

my plants have been in flowering for about 7 weeks now so i should nearly be ready to crop right? but the buds dont look compact at all. they dont even look at all ready to smoke really.. :/ is it okay to jut give them the time they need to fatten out or what? im using two 200w duel spec cfls could this be why the buds lookin a bit shit? i could probably upgrade to a hps for flowering next grow if that would make allot of difference but on a bit of a budget so would be best to leave it if not. cheers

the are supposedly one white widow and one super silver haze but as 3 of my 5 fully feminized seeds turned out to be male, the strain being what they said it was seems unlikely:L ill just leave them i guess my mate told my that just before i hang them i should water them ALLOT and then when they hang up side down they will full out and become more dense is this work doing? iv never heard of it myself

I shouldn't worry about cutting for a few weeks joe. Buds are less dense under CFLs, and hps for your next grow and you'll see an improvement.
Forget what your mate said, you can find out the facts you need right here on riu...
You must be doing okay to get them thus far...
