Cola's On Fire

So I have 2 plants in my closet, one is getting tooo big so i cut the top cola off about 6 inches down, its 5 weeks into flowering so it probably wont grow anymore but i have a few questions.
1) i clipped the top cola and trimmed the leaves and have small nuggs. is it okay 2 dry and smoke the nugs even tho there not ripe enough yet?
2) is this going to damage my plant?


*btw the cola was never on fire that was just supposed 2 b a catchy title.

catchy enough. if you have no other choice do what you have to. its better than them outgrowing their living space and maybe catching on fire for real. you can smoke them but it may only get you high for a little while maybe not at all. it depends. and no it will not hurt your plant too much. the minor shock and stress will be better than burning the tops or the high heat from the light source for a continued time. goodluck
