If u let the ur plants flower 4 to long it usually effects the potency of the bud ina bad way as compared to if u harvested on time. In my personal opinion tho it shouldnt effect the bud to much cas its only 2 weeks late. How long have u been flowerin and wat kind of strain is the plants ?

8 weeks on the 17th? Your totally good dude, just start flushing with good clean water for the next week or two because you want the pant to use up the rest of the nutrients in the soil and buds before you harvest. Good luck, and stay safe!

Well since most of us agree that this is a Sativa or Sativa dominant strain, you probably have a longer flowering cycle than 8 weeks for sure, your buds look great in the pics. Remember that buds put on a majority of their weight in the last few weeks before harvest. Also, Sativas' have a bit more of a window of peak harvest than an Indica does. With an Indica, you basically have one week or so to harvest in it's peak. Sativas' will give you an additional week to harvest when in its peak. Get a lense (buy one online if you have to for like $12). Look at the trichomes. When they are really starting to turn from milky to about 1/3 amber, you are at the beginning of the peak for harvest so get a scope and take a look... It's that simple. And please dry and cure properly as your plants look great so you don't want to mess it up at the end by getting lazy during drying and curing...

Nice looking flowers there friend! I definitely think your getting close to harvest, I don't know if I would feed again though... I would flush now and harvest at ten weeks, I don't see one more feed packing on a whole bunch more weight for ya and I that case (I) wouldn't risk the quality of the bud for a few more grams dried weight. Just my opinion bongsmilie
Good Luck, Safety First

Make sure to check the humidity of where you are going to dry them. You don't want it to high or you risk mold, to low you will dry them out to fast.. 40% - 50%
Also, don't let it get to cold there. They won't dry and they will get moldy. You want the temp to be between 60 - 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
After you dry until ready to cure (when you bend a stem it should snap not bend over. It doesn't have to break, but it should definitely snap). Once that happens (7-10 days usually), you are ready to cure. Once you go to cure you want to pack in as many buds as you can gently and without squishing them. You want to open the jar to let moisture out through out the day. Every few hours or as often as you can get to it. Longer you leave to cure the better the taste and smell will be. 2 weeks is good but 3 weeks is better.. Just my 2 cents though..
