Yup - I like to give my 8 week strains 9-10 weeks...just means you'll get more amber trichs (IME...) I would've thought any longer than that and you may get some degradation

Many Indicas go well over 8 weeks - just watch her, you will know when she is ready.

flowering in Floor-duh started for these two in mid july. Still goin. A small amount of pinky aka hashberry has already been chopped and is curing. The other is like a lemon haze or green crack, i guess.

Yes, most indicas can go well over 8 weeks.
Approx 70-80% of all reg genetics are recommended to go 8-9 weeks when sold by seedbanks. A lot of this can be marketing, as they are trying to make growers think this is the case and that all can be a quick flip, when in reality, they really need 9-11 weeks to reach that full potential. Most strain will allow you to push them into this 9-11 week period. Sativas can go 11-14. Whether they will go the shorter of this period, or the longer, mainly depends on how the trichomes on the plant look throughout the phase. If you are still seeing clear trichomes on 60%+ of your plant by week 9, expect to be able to go a good 11 weeks if you want and this will allow you extra weight/potency. Grow it to this full potential if you have the time/patience. You will NOT regret it!

I agree, let your plant keep growing until you see the signs of ripeness (trichome head colors, hair colors, hairs receding back into buds, golden sheen/tinge to the buds overall, etc.)Yes, most indicas can go well over 8 weeks.
