yet another "Is it ready yet?" thread

I am in the enviable position of wondering if I get a good harvest or a great harvest. I'm 75 days into growing Mephisto Orange Biscuits. it's been flowering for quite a while. It's been a dream. A few weeks ago, I considered the plant well on its way to produce a normal harvest. Today, it's still putting on weight. So much weight, in fact, that several of the colas are now leaning all the way over. Every time I feed, I swear I can see more flowers popping out. It's also worth pointing out that this is the strongest smelling plant I've had yet. The general skunkiness smell has passed over into body odor and outright stank. I accidentally brushed against one of the buds and the smell was like if orange marmalade was tainted with gasoline. As some background, the plant is grown in amended soil. I used a mix of FF Happy Frog, some soil from a previous grow which had Happy Frog, Ocean Forest and had been amended with Natures Living Soil. I water every 2 days with 4 liters of pH adjusted water. Every other watering has Fox Farm nutrients at the recommended levels and once a week, I also add 1/2 tsp Flower Fuel for the PK boost. The plant is in a 12L cloth pot. Due to life, I didn't get to do any real training besides topping above the 6th node. I don't think it cared about training since even the smallest buds have weight. What I see is: White trichomes Some orange pistils - the white ones are more visible in the photo, but I estimate 50% have turned Huge buds with fat calyxes continuing bud growth What's the judgement? Options: chop today chop next week chop in 2 weeks This was the plant a few days ago: This is the largest cola as of last night. This pic is level. As of this morning, a second cola has decided it needed a rest as well. Trichome shot! This was taken on one of the flowers that I swear is new this week.

Well, I went to water the plant last night and noted that that one leaning branch was now snapped. I interpreted that as she's done dying and ready to ascend to Killer Weed.
Got this pic of one of the buds. You can see how the color has come out.

The trichomes are eye-watering:

Waiting was definitely the right thing to do.

This plant has been amazing. I'm glad I popped that seed. It's been a dream to grow. I'll post the dry weight when I have it. She took 86 days. The only issue was how she wanted more nutrition when flowering started, but I hadn't yet given it.
