Inexperienced growe here, northern lights has lost some of its stickiness and smell. Any thoughts?

Thanks! I actually got a jewellers loupe delivered today, no sign of any of any amber trichomes as yet so as you say probably a week or two to go.Your temps are in a good range, with LED you could even take it hotter like 26 °C in flower during lights on.
You have amazing trichome production considering that is Northern Lights. I'd keep doing what you're doing. The smell will not be accurate until the buds are properly dried and cured. To do that once you harvest just simply hang the plant upside down either by branches or the whole plant and let the ventilation run on low for a good 7-10 days or until the stems snap, then trim the buds up and jar for a couple weeks opening the jars for 5-10 mins every day moving buds gently around.
It looks like you could benefit from a stronger LED light for larger buds if that's what you're into but otherwise that looks like some dank. I'd say it at most has a couple weeks to go though based off the pictures I wouldn't give it more than that. Have you inspected Trichomes? The happy medium for Trichomes is when the heads are milky with some amber heads visible on the buds. A simple 30x Jewelers loupe will do.
Well done!

Usually you want a higher calyx to leaf strain.
Top notes of pine with a touch of citrus on this plantInterested to here what others say but I think I have read at some point or another some mention of northern lights smelling nice but the one fem I grew didn't have very noticeable smell. Nice and mellow no paranoia high however.
Question, at what point in the plants life should you drop the RH in your opinion? I had really good success with 84 degrees F and 64% humidity until my lack or airflow led to boyritis. I caught it early and harvested before my crop was ruined, and I have since upgraded my airflow, but I am curious if there is a certain stage of budding where dropping the RH won't harm the yield.Reduce temp and light cycle at end of flower for more terps, also maybe bump up that humidity a little bit
I'd be careful with humidity though, probably 45% max that late
Also make sure pictures are under normal lighting not your grow lamps
Stage | Temperature | Humidity |
Seedling | 69.8 – 77ºF | 65-70% |
Vegetative | 62.4 – 82.4°F | 40-70% |
Early Flowering | 68 – 78.8°F | 40-50% |
Late Flowering | 64.4 – 75.2°F | 30-40% |
Storage (Curing Stage) | 64.9 – 69.9ªF | 60-65% |
