Bud rot over night?? Should I harvest immediately?

[Juggernut23]

Hey guys! I’m sort of panicking.
Everything was going well with my lemon skunks, they are ready for harvest, I just thought I would wait it out a bit longer to get more juicy buds.

i come home from work and immediately notice they look different, and there’s a weird smell in the tent. The leaves look dried out and dead. And the smell...Sort of like dead or dying leaves. Not overpowering, but definitely noticeable. Also noticed the buds are most soft/squishy, whereas they were firm a couple days ago, and smelled amazing. Now they kind of stink.

should I just chop her down now and call it a night? Or are there remedies to help with this sort of thing?

thanks for any advice

harvest now before it's too late.

Chop quick for sure. Break up any large buds to make sure its not inside.
