To Chop or not to Chop? That is the question

SO by the title .. i really dont know what to do .. this plant looks like its got a little more to go to me.. its still pushing out some white hairs.. but it is mostly brown hairs. The part that makes it difficult to decide is when I scoped it under the 100x its already 50 percent amber.... so whats your opinion.. would you chop or wait..

Im including some pics I took right now.. I tried to get as close as I could with the camera.. but under the scope she is 40-60 percent amber.. I would like to wait a little longer.. but I also dont want a completely couch locked high .. and I don't wanna loose potency.. SOO opinions gentlemen

Strain is querkle.. she is under 1000 watter eye hortilux .. at 7pm she started day 47 of flower.. its advertised as a 56 day strain.. it just seems too early for me .. I have never seen a strain finish on time or especially early from the ADVERTISED flowering period. BUt I also dont want this thing to go all amber. Heres the pics

looks ready to me... I dont think she will fatten up much more all the calyxes seem to be swollen. Great purple color too!

im gonna give this thread a couple hours.. but so far 2 chops to NONE lol I should of made it a poll

ahhah i figured out how to add a poll

CHOP! Plant looks nice!!

3 chops ... hmm im waiting for objections.. but im sharpening my trimming scissors lol.. thanks guys for the input.. im hoping to get a couple more before I decide to slay

I agree, chop that girl. Good smoking

day 47, ide let her go some more, see alot of fresh white pistals pushing out. plants still real green but maybe ur just good

see Dam that is EXACTLY why im stuck lol.. because its yellowing but not much .. and is still pushing out white pistals... yet .. its already pretty got alot of amber trich's.. im just wondering if I wait .. how much will it loose in potency and if it will go all amber and do nothing but make me tired lol it is pretty solid buds.. the only airy ones are low on the plant.. I think ima cut a sample right now and put it on the ballast for a few hours..

Dmtudder ..that is why i was questioning it because I am afraid if i wait longer for them to finish .. that they will turn all amber and loose potency .. SO i am well aware of that fact that after amber the thc degrades ..
I just wish the rest of the plant looked as ripe as the trichomes.. I was hoping some veterans might have some input before I make the cut..

The main thing thats got me is I have never had a plant finish by the seed companies advertised date.. let alone 8 days early.. seems too good to be true LoL

I'd say at least 2 more months on those.

lol ok Stomata

I'd say wait for those new white hairs to grow out and then recede. Looks like you could keep flushing for another 5 days to a week then chop. Beautiful buds though!

Thanks Sativa... ya im gonna wait another week.. this plant has the smallest buds in my garden and looks like it is still getting bigger with all the white hairs still coming out.. I might wait about 3 days and take the tops that are ripe .. then leave the rest for another 3-4 days.. done that before?
