Growing Mustard greens, also gai choy

Am growing mustard to dig bach into the soil. My question is at what stage of plants should I pull and dig in. They have not yet flowered.

I did this twenty years ago with giant red mustard. I always let a few plants on the edges go to seed, and strew the seed. I still have volunteer red mustard, and so can add some young leaves into a salad if I wish, but also benefit from the chemicals it produces when dug in to the soil to deter nematodes. Dig it in whenever you are ready by the way !
