Wow Jeezy, great grow journal! I'm subbed up!
They look great! Ya I was going to encourage you to wait on chopping them, but sounds like you know about the leaves. Not just the fan leaves tho, when those sugar leaves start getting used up and turning yellow you'll see those buds really fatten up! I harvested an AK-47 last year too early because of inexperience and anxiousness... :joint: Fortunately I had others that I let go longer, but cutting that one early cost me in yield - so I'm passing it on so others don't do the same...
And as a woman I just want to say your wife is a very kind lady to give up ANY closet space in the first place... :roflcry: I'm sure she's glad to have it back!
See you around!
