if the trichomes on your plant are amber its time, you might want to start flushing if they are a milky/translucent color. otherwise the thc decrease and the weed starts to lose potency

the best thing that could happen is the buds will be more potent (more amber trichomes) and a more couchlock high
the worst (least likely)would be if the plant literally died and got a little rot
but why not start your flush now(or when the soil or whatever dries) and flush for the next week or two
the real way to know when to chop is by trich color and and your personal preference, not by how many days theve been flowering

You want to harvest when they are turning amber but aren't a majorty amber. Trichs should still be standing straight up and down. When they start bending and the trichs are almost all amber you are running the risk of degrading potency. The longer you wait the higher the CBD which will make you feel a bit more stoney...
they will be at 8 weeks on the 17th i don't have a 30x mag i guess i'll go get one today but i'm looking for more weight they just look to me like they could use 2-3 more weeks but last feed they got 100ppm overdrive i want to give them 200ppm 2 times then plain water 2 times before i cut them down. i'll post pics later but there about 6-7 ft tall in 5 gal promix. the bud feels light and fluffy i want it to bulk up.

I haven't grown anything that was done in 8 weeks, usually 9 - 11 weeks. Are your hairs white or are they turning brown and curling up? If there 5 - 6 feet tall they probably have a good bit of sativa in them. I would lean towards 11 weeks total with the limited info I'm guesstimating with.

Yes, don't use the overdrive... if you think they are ready start to flush... If they go too long after their peak, the stone will start to get really heavy... I let one go really long one time... the bud gave me a bad headache.
Also they can go hermie! That's also how some people get hermie pollen to make feminized seeds.

What strain are you growing and under what type of light? 6ft tall is a big plant for indoors.. Sativa buds (sounds like a Sativa at 6 ft) are usually lighter and fluffier compared to the compact denser buds you see in most Indica strains. Or, you don't have enough light on it. Not enough light = low photosynthesis = low carb production = wimpy buds lacking density and size.

Looks good, but you really need to go get a scope or even a strong eye glass, how long has it been on 12/12? The only real way to tell, especially with strains your not familiar with, is to check out the trich's like the above posts have stated. I can see what your saying and just by those pictures I would venture to say they probably do need couple weeks or so, give or take, but if thats the case you need to start flushing. Typically the last few weeks the bud's swell up quite a bit, so all you can do is grow her till her trichs are where you want them, she'll give you what she can, but by all means dont delay harvest trying to get weight, you'll be sorry come smoke time. How long did you vegg? how long 12/12?
