No end in sight, Northern Light 13th week

I am 13+ weeks of flowering and this Nirvana Northern Lights plant will not stop growing. She has fox tailed almost every bud and it seems like the buds are opening up like pine cones not getting tighter. Its like the buds are growing more buds. However, she is getting frostier.
I have been keeping the temps down and giving her nothing but water. You can pick a bud off of her and its smoke-able in 2 days. Sampling her every few days and the buzz has gone from uppy/short lasting to a little stonier and longer lasting. I have no problem waiting her out, but when do I reach the point that I have to say enough is enough and yank her? Will she keep growing and maturing? No large leaves left at all, just the small single ones on the buds. Still not an over abundance of amber tris yet. Looks like under 20-30% to me. I want a knock out buzz I was anticipating from this strain.
Would this be considered a phenotype? Like this plant is leaning towards the sativa side? She never had the broad wide dark Indica leaves I was expecting. More like thin bladed Sativa ones.
The plant is beautiful and I don't wanna mess things up.

i have one (might be NL WW) like that and its on week 14 with very lil powder but great smell. I had to treat it for mold but that was a month ago, maybe that messed her up so she won't finish right.

A knock out high. Sound like a indica to me. With the indica the full wait is best for that put you down on the couch high. She is probably a sativa indica cross.

Sounds like you got a wierd phenotype. You can wait until a few more trichs turn amber and then snip em. Soooo close... to waiting another month for cure!

The spindly bracts that are spinning up off the buds are usually a sign of mild heat stress btw. No biggy, mine usually get it in late flower too. Looks super cool.

If you want a body stone, a couch-lock buzz, next time you search for a strain look for the one with the highest percentage of CBD that you can find so you don't have to throw away potency, throw away THC by letting it oxidize and be lost as it breaks down and becomes CBN. When trichomes turn amber that is a sign of lost oxidized THC and increased levels of CBN, which is only mildly psychoactive, and only causes confusion, disorientation, drowsiness and sleepiness rather than a true body stone, rather than a true couch-lock stone. Pay less attention to the highest level/percentage of tHC and or famous name strains and find strains that are higher in CBD. That way you can have the body stone what you want and potency too.
