Anxious first timer here and harvest season means a lot of second guessing. All of the details on my grow are in the thread referenced below in my signature.
My plants survived a good deal of stress outdoors this season, including bad heat and spider mites. I have an unknown sativa dominant hybrid that lost a ton of leaves to mites and seems to be drying up a little bit early. The pistils went brown already. Mites are gone but the damage remains. I am trying to wait as long as I can before chopping her but i am worried the plant is not healthy enough to keep producing resins and terpines. The strength of the nice sour diesel smell has noticeably lessened in the past few weeks. The buds are medium dense when pinched. Pics below:
This is through a 30x loupe

I really want that good smell and I am ok with an "up" high. Just want to make sure I'm not missing out on significant yield or potency by chopping now. I really appreciate any advice- I change my mind every two hours about this...
