Hi, Roxy.
You appear to have done the necessary repair for your plant. Good work! And nice plant.
The plant is getting close to harvest. Check for 5% - 10% amber trichomes then chop.
Oh, also be aware that on big plants, buds may mature at different times. I have amber on a couple of buds on my 8 footers, most of the rest are still clear going to cloudy.
Can I offer you an old veggie garden trick? 30 years ago, I wanted big, solid, reusable tomato cages. I bought a roll of 6" grid,
steel, concrete reinforcing screen at Home Depot and made 18" to 24" diameter cages from it. They are still used every season and last forever. It is easy to place one around each in ground seedling. As they grow, simply train the branches through the 6" spaces. Great support! Works really well for bushy plants if you remove the apical meristem to encourage branching. They also make good supports to clip on plastic or garden cloth to cover from the rain (don't forget to remove the cloth when rain stops).

Most growers post to wait for some amber trichs.
Too soon is less potent, more cerebral. Too late more couch lock body stone. Patience is the key, unless weather or mold starts to interfere, then harvest to save your grow.
