I have several cascade plants with lots of hops. The tips are browning a bit and they smell great. Is there any harm leaving them longer? Can you leave them on too long?
Is longer better on the bine?

when you suspect they're close to being ripe, grab a few cones on a daily basis and do the 'rub-n-sniff' test. you'll notice the aroma increase up to a certain point. then things start going down hill. i don't know if it's oxidation of the oils or what, but at that point, they seem to be just beyond the peak of perfection.
