overripe is all just opinion surely, it does change the high though. i grew my first plant and sampled some way before it was ready, it was really nice and speedy not stoney at all but not long lasting or potent, i let my ak48s go like 9-10 weeks and regretted it, so it was over ripe for me as they lost their raciness, but also if i'd wanted some bedtime weed i could have let it go longer probably, as i said was my first plants so haven't got a clue what going over looks like.
was reading a subcool thread about harvesting early and i think it said about harvesting pure sativas about 30% amber because if you go further you will be ruining the desired effects, like you get sativas for their purer effect you don't want the thc degrading giving you body buzz, you'd get a hybrid.
