over grow?

is it possible to damage the budsby leaving the plant out to keep growing? i cant tell if they are getting bigger anymore but the past day or 2 i noticed the leaves looking like this. time to cut her down and bring her in?

Unless it's starting to go moldy or is past peak harvest time it you can let it keep going. I'd let that one go longer if possible to get it riper.

im not what a peak harvest item would be, this is my first plant, i was given some info on how the hairs look

i guess what im tring to figure out if holding out longer makes the buds bigger and better, or does it not work that way

Time to do a bit of reading.

No, by the very fact there is a ripening process, the flowers will decline & die once they pass their peak. Think about what plants/trees do u ever see round gardens/ country that are in flower all year round?

When that is for ur plants can be totally variable, and usually best confirmed thru sight, scope and smell!

Certainly any horticulturists & skilled growers could easily keep the plant alive after harvesting, but in same vein as a fruit tree, it wouldn't produce bud again until next 'season' was started again.
