smoking and usage

Ok, so for the past couple of years I have been habitually planting marijuana in a small, overgrown vacant area in my neighborhood. I believe the strain is Northern Lights--at least, that's what my more experienced stoner friends have told me (I pulled about 20 seeds out of a quad I bought sophomore year from a shady dealer...thus I can be none too sure of the strain).

I usually let about 5 seeds do their thing untended around the plot, except for some watering during dry spells (Chicago weather is erratic). I harvest them the first weekend in October, typically.

I planted at the end of May. This year, however, I'll be leaving for college at the end of August. If I harvest the females then, will they not be ready to smoke? I'm fine with having a smaller yield or less potent bud if I harvest them early, but if they'll be completely unsmokeable, I'll give them as a "present" to one of the other neighborhood kids.

Any thoughts?

id say you need about 120 days, not much lower...
but some plants flower sooner...
you just need to keep looking at them when flowering...
