Looks pretty done to me. If it were me, i'd leave her in the dark for 2 full days then chop it down. Leaving her in the dark for 2 days will trick the plant and will increase resin potency slightly.

Yep, most strains are done at latest 10 weeks, so if you can't tell by the colour of trichs (because you don't have a loupe or microscope), I'd say chop.

looks done enough to me, but im prone to pre-chopping lol.

i agree, check tricombs, a 3-50 dollar investment in a varying magnifications is wonderful.

so shutting lights off all the way for a few days is bueno for pre chop? I'll have to try this, although last shit i harvested two days ago was seeded and mite infested, so i did not bother, since it was then "mids" and did not care. lol

Almost all weed in my opinion is chopped too early? But i guess you would have to wait forever for the plant to completely "DIE" on 12-12, thats im sure when its supposed to be harvested like it was found on the ground by some ass hat that smoked it originally looking for a fix, and hoping not to die. hahaha, if you did that, i would suspect you would not be feeling any of your body parts for HOURS due to such high CBD content.

People say it causes the plant to think it's dying, so it pushes out as much resin as possible in hopes to get pollinated before it dies.
It hasnt been proven but it hasnt been dis-proven so there is a point and it's not really a waste of time

*As long as your RH and airflow is ok it wont mold
*If you have bugs you have bugs, they don't just come out at night?
*3 days isn't enough to hermie and pollinate itself, it'd would take at least a week or two of complete darkness for sacks to grow and pop open. EVEN IF it got pollinated in that 1-2 weeks of darkness you'd need another 3 or so weeks for seeds to produce, and the trichs have already grown so there's no risk in loosing potency.

So it won't hurt, and if it helps it helps
