So it has been in flower for quite some time now, not sure when to chop

As long as your stigmas are, I'd imagine those nugs are about the diameter of 2 fingers. How about a cola picture and an even more zoomed in look at the trichs? I feel I see many mostly clear in those pics. Wait till your trichs are roughly 20% amber - ON BUDS, not sugar leaves.

It's almost 6 feet tall with only the top 15 or so bud sites growing as anything lower would not be getting enough light to grow anything worthwhile, using led lights

I really want to but I don't want to chop early, I had to chop another plant early and I thought it would be dank still even though early but it doesn't smell much after dry and cure lol should be good to smoke rn but might just be some midz quality because chopped too early, when I chopped it the trichs looked nice but now can hardly see it, smells nice when i press it and break stem though

Too early to chop. Be patient. Try to keep her healthy. A couple weeks at least. Probably a bit more. There should be almost no white pistils. I wouldn’t start looking at trichs until most of the pistils have turned. Most look white or just starting to brown at this point. Wider shots were better though you still haven’t shown the whole plant, which would give people a better sense of overall health. Good luck!

Six feet tall with only 15 bud sites? The plant needs leaves. Please show whole plant pics. Sounds to me like you may have trimmed too much and taken away needed energy sources. The leaves we can see look hungry or otherwise compromised. Please show whole plant pics. Trust the people making these requests.

I left all the leaves that go with the bud sites. It sprouted in the beginning of May and has been in flower for probably 3 months now lol it is way overdue. It should have been finished by now but light cycle kept getting interrupted and I had to supercrop it so it wouldn't touch the lights at the ceiling

The plant is on its own schedule. Yours very clearly isn’t ready. Sounds like you took too many leaves and that has stunted and impacted overall growth. My guess as you don’t seem to want to post a whole plant pic. But leaves serve more than the bud sites near them. Lots of leaves are good for creating energy that gets distributed all over the plants.
