Over Ripe or Under Ripe?

Basically i am dealing with a nirvana Bubbalicious strain here. It was preflowered at a young age by its owner,but didnt get 12/12 so it went back to veg for another month.

Flowered it for 3 months 2 weeks now, under fine conditions( high temps for about 3 days). I noticed that about 7-8 weeks in the pistils were turning,(no microscope yet). So i thought it might be time, took a sample.Bud was of poor quality, smelt nice and tasted nice, but didnt get me high.

So continuted to give nutes for a few more weeks. Buds fattening now but not noticing any more trichs. Had a look under the microscope, trichs bout 50/50 clear cloudy. All the pistils turned amber. Decided to sample again, not really that much better! Just got a little high.

My problem is is that all of the surrounding leaves have now died turned yellow, the trichs are mostly cloudy with a few dotted around with black ends!! Never seen this before.
Also now loads of new white pistils have just popped up! No more trichs tho!! It was flushed last week.

The others in there seem fine, its really bugging me.

Should i chop it because i missed the peak potency, or leave it a risk even more degrading of potency?!!

pics? Would be just about the only thing that could help in this situation to be honest.

Okay, I reread your post and I think you're doing okay. I think you're getting over anxious about when they should be done. How long have they been on 12/12 cycle? More white hairs coming out usually means buds are still getting bigger.

Agreed, pics please even killer bud can be very very shitty smoke if not dried propperly, let alone no cure, bare that in mind. How were you drying it prior to sampling it?

I took one quick dried sample, (oven no more than 140F), and one dried naturally in cuboard with fresh air.

Pics are a good idea, ill be back with some

that explains why it was lacking..... gotta slow dry anything. Your buds don't look done yet man. Sorry. You said you've been flowering 3 months and two weeks???? Got a light leak in your cab??? those buds should've been done a few weeks ago. They have not passed their peak.
I grew out bubblelicous before ...it took about 9 weeks give or take a week, but it looks like those things still have a bit togo .... what lighting are you using of them.

Yeah l litrally have for 3 months 2 weeks, its obsurd!!
Its under a 400w hps.

There cant be any light thats getting in, a tiny amount of light enters the room in the morning but not the cabinet. What can i do to finish her off, should i still give nutes? Just water?

For sure not done yet. You say you had to reveg so maybe it's taking it's time doing everything now. What kind of light are you using?

I'd say just treat her like a normal plant for another couple weeks man. That whole revegging and the crap it endured in the beginning do take it's toll one way or the other in the end.

I just want to be sure that its not going to get less potent, what about the leaves yellowing ON the bud?

Think i am going to chop her down, she is just isnt getting any better and i havent noticed any more trichome production for a few weeks now


Any more input would be greatly apprechiated.

Hate bumpin, yall must have some advice to give?!

sorry to bump but here's my .02 for anyone in the future...

The plants look really over-watered first of all, and all the fan leaves are only making one finger it seems... And what is up with the waxy texture to them?

I've seen a lot of similar problems (single "finger" fan leafs) for plants that were revegged, so I'm willing to bet that was a big part of your problem.

I think you did the right thing chopping (and hopefully give it another go) because they probably weren't going to improve much.
