OK so she won't bulk anymore because there isn't any stored energy I'm guessing ...what if Im feeding it still ... It won't use nutrients? .... Ohhh nooo ... I guess the nutes have to be made energy which is stored in leaves ... So they don't directly feed off what I put in but rather what is stored in leaves ? And if I wait it'd just for those trichomes yo get amber ... When I zoom pic in don't see amber

Not all strains make amber and yeppers needs leaves to use light to make weight contrary to popular forum rhetoric buds do not use light

Can make the buds bigger and harder but they can gain or lose taste depends on the plant and your growing style really but it looked pretty ripe, I like more of a body buzz couch lock to my night time and day off strains so I run them ones a bit longer

its why I like 6 to 8 week strains cos after 8 to 10 weeks there yummy where as 10week + strains start to take too long then I get pest issues and don`t like using the hardcore bug killers once my plants are in bloom....

I would let it go a little longer but like others have said you could definitely chop now and your leaves don't seem to be too healthy so maybe chopping now would be a benefit.

Can really depend on the strain

some people think the best couch lock comes from running a high thc strain that normally makes cloudy resin and letting it go 30 to 60% brown, not by growing strains that make proper amber resin

degraded thc and such is not the same as cbd, cbd will relax your body but a lot of people now seem to think its not cbd that causes that couch lock, its more an effect of degrade thc and other degraded cannabinoids

Kind of annoyed me as I`ve been growing for more amber and growing strains with more cbd ok the herb is very functional and gets me a nice mix of high and stoned

but I think for that couch lock effect I want I need something like ak47 or diesel and then just run it till its 2 to 4 weeks over ripe to how you`d normally harvest it for the max high


Anyway looks pretty ripe I`m sure once that bud cures up it`ll give you a nice body buzz :)

but yeah feel free to run some more plants another week or 2

uvb light seems to make them yellow/brown a lot faster but you can fry a plant easy playing with them kinda lights, and your eyes and your skin, lol
