id go with buds there jay, if your useing it, with the bio bloom its a good idea to stop and flush for the last two weeks or so to help get rid of as much chemical compounds out of the plant, this is what i use, and i`d be set in my ways as to finishing ...
still think your pulling early tho, and as its not a cash crop its percy then why no ake some of the lower branchs, fair enough it won`t be as stoney as i could have been but it`ll give you that extra time to let the main colas finsh off and you`ll get some right good smoke then, after all the time its taken to get here you don`t want to short change yourself, and dude we all been there... ready to finish with no weed like....
