Anybody in zone 8 harvesting?

Charleston, SC didn't have a winter this year and hops started growing early.

I am a first year growing but have tested a couple of cascade hops. The hop cone leaves are getting a faint brown on tips. They are somewhat papery and go back to form on the squeeze test but when I cut one in half the glands are all yellow.

Is it time to harvest or let them sit a little longer? I have never seen the end product so any advice is greatly appreciated.

I'm up in New Jersey and picked 18 oz from one of my Cascade plants tonight. I will pick the other Cascade tomorrow. The one I picked still had burs on it. I just let it go wild and trim a few times. I hope to get 3 harvests from each plant.
