What to do with a severely abused plant...?

[psychodelic]

One of my ladies had been flowering outdoors for 5 weeks that I had to bring inside because of frosts at night. I wasn't quite finished building and lightproofing my box, so my poor plant was subjected to severe abuse for the next 7 weeks. I at least continued the 12/12 light schedule up until now, but the whole time...it's not lightproof, it's cold in the basement at night, etc.

Anyways, it's been flowering for about 12 weeks total, 5 outside, 7 inside (with severe abuse). Trichs began turning cloudy about 4 weeks ago. Currently, it's 80% cloudy, 20% clear, and 0% amber. It's not growing anymore, there is no new plant growth coming out the top of the colas. The plant is obviously still alive and leaves reaching to the lights, but I believe it's basically just barely getting by, and isn't strong enough to grow.

The problem is the trichs. I like to plants to get at least 50% amber before I harvest (for anxiety and appetite).

I have several successful grows, and know basically what I'm doing. This plant just didn't get the love she deserved. I've never encountered this situation before. I'd like to keep alive in hopes of getting more amber trichs. But I think I may chop it because it's not growing, the trich ratio has been the same for the last 2 weeks, and there isn't even a hint of amber. And I don't want to risk mold growing or anything.

What should I do?

Probably the best bet is to just chop it. You could go ahead and let her go some more but give it a 24/7 fan to try and stop any rot.

Thanks for the response. I got impatient last night and just chopped her. The amazing thing was that after all the stress, she never went hermie. I flash-dried some last night and it was pretty darn good. Just not the couchlock I usually look for. But it'll be good to mix in with my other harvests.
