Entering week 9 How much longer?

Hi guys, I am entering week 9 here of growth flowering since week 5. The strain it self says about 9 weeks. I would love to let it go a couple more weeks if I can and let the buds fatten up a little more. By the pictures do you think I will have any problem keeping her going?

check the trichomes. use a jewelers loupe or microscope. if you see some amber heads on the trichomes they're mature enough to chop and most likely will not plump up anymore. with the pictures you provided, my guess would be approx. 2-3 more weeks. all the autos i've grown from sweet seeds and fast buds say 8-9 weeks but really take about 13.

Looking from what experience I have they look like they need another week or 2... But to know for sure is a jewelers loop.. can't beat them.. Can harvest at your preferred ripeness.. ( if that's even a word)

Trichomes check to know when to harvest. If you can't get on then yes you can fairly add 1 or 2 weeks more than what the breeder is claiming . If the strain is a photoperiodic then the average flowering time is aroung 8 weeks / 60 days but I recommend you to check the strain recommendation because 7 weeks of flo is the quickest harvest widow I know ( from seeds) . If it's an autoflowering strain then 2 more weeks could be enough. From what I can see , she can get fatter

Can't really tell looking at pistils because every strain is different but I agree to previous comments another week or two could be fine, just get sure to check thricomes if you can :) The lady looks great good luck 🌞

Get a loupe to check the thricomes. It looks like it can still go another week. Even without the loupe, worst thing that can happen is that the effect Will be more relaxing

It still has several white pistils, which I think gives you 1 or max.2 more weeks
