Yeah, we need some visual frame of reference.
Though she may just be a late bloomer, I'm 6 weeks deep looking at another 6 more.
*shrug* Heavy Sativa, i suppose.

Check the trichs, hairs dont have much to do with done-ness. Grab a mini microscope 60x-100x and check the trichs.

sometimes plants can take longer than you think they should or are advertised to - depending on nutrients used, lighting intensity, and temperature to name a few likely culprits. if you have a stable, stress free environment, and the flowers start shooting out bananas, that's a sign you've taken it as far as you should have if not a little too far.

...here's one of mine from a couple years ago at 10 weeks, i chopped her at 20 weeks and she still wasn't done.

...there are some indica's that will finish in 8 weeks or less and there are some sativas that need more than 20 weeks to finish, ...most are hybrids so will finish depending on which part of the genepool is more dominant, indica or sativa, i'm guessing your's is sativa leaning so don't be impatient, just keep an eye on the trich's and wait until you have at least 20% amber before you chop or she won't have reached her full potential.

peace, bozo

I had that same problem one time. Plant never finished I think it went for 12-13weeks.
Shit happens sometimes.
