Im a few days from ten weeks on this Cackleberry soil grow. I topped it and raised the plant and thought I’d give the lower bids a few more days or so. I thought I’d ask some professionals first.
One more week?

It would be much easier to give an assessment in regular lighting.
It would also be a good idea to check the trichomes and see how they look to get an hint of the maturity.
From what I see in these pictures I would say maybe 2-3 more weeks. The buds are still covered with fresh new pistils. Usually the plant will stop making new calyxs and then spend a couple weeks maturing and swelling up.

^^^ this and use a loupe or hand held scope to see the trichomes

BTW, the Carson you mentioned the other day works great. The last handheld like this I had was not LED and wasn't too bright.

Yes I couldn't find a bulb to replace in my old one so I got that one and am very pleased with the LED, so much brighter

If you chopped the main cola when you posted this then you didn't let it go any where near long enough! It needed several weeks more to properly mature.
I’ve tried to stick to the nine weeks flower the breeder sugggested. Like i said the one i pulled a couple weeks ago is phenomenal. They started at the same time. Just seems like this remaining plant has lost potency, resin, smell, etc. I just thought i May have let it go too long.
Sorry if I’m asking stupid questions here I’m just worried

Your ok man everyone has to learn.
The times the breeders give a very loose estimates. As a general rule you should not put much weight on them. You need to watch how our plant grows and learn to read the plant. Ignore how many days or weeks it's been flowering and watch what the plant is telling you.
Based on the pictures above you had at least 2-3 weeks still on that plant. You can get many different plants from a single pack of seeds. These differences are called phenotypes. Some phenotypes might take 7 weeks to finish and others from the same seeds might take 10 weeks. Some plants will be small some large. Some smelly some not smelly.

. Trichomes still seem pretty clear under 40x

Yep I'm sticking with my estimate, I'll even say 3 weeks for sure. The plant is still growing fresh calyxs. It needs time for the buds to finish growing and then time for them to actually ripen.
