How long can I leave it ??

I brewed some Mangrove Jacks Lemon Sour on the 7th Feb, dry hopped on the 17th and racked off to a secondary on about the 21st (I think!). I now have this sitting in my bottling bucket, with an air lock on.
I've not had a chance to actually bottle yet. Am I risking it going 'off' or the end result suffering, if I leave it much longer? There's a chance I wont get to bottle until the weekend. I've not primed it yet - and will do that when I bottle.

If you leave the top on there is no higher risk of it going 'off' then having it anywhere else. Bottling at the weekend will be fine.

great - cheers. I assume prime as normal - or will the residual yeast levels have dropped further, and therefore need a little more sugar ?

Prime as normal. It might take longer to carb up, but you don't need any more sugar. You using glass or plastic bottles? If you have a plastic bottle you can squeeze to tell how carbed it is.
