How is your lab maxed out when your other ♥♥♥♥ isn't? Honestly, it takes me twice as long to research troops than max out all defenses. Do you gem hard?

I am TH9, all defensive buildings upgraded or being upgraded, working on bombs and will finish all research/legos before I think about going to TH10.
The game is more like a puzzle to me to be completed in due time, not a good romp in the hay I want to get over with in a hurry ;-)

I would say max out the xbow, get all your walls to lvl 8 at least, and get your heroes to lvl 15 since loot at th10 is horrible.

I havent gemmed at all other then the gems that drop from the game. i dont spend money on iphone games(yes i play on the phone.. no ipad here). i have a computer and a ps3 that i pay for my games.. =)
Ive been at TH9 for awhile now. My heroes took a hit when I was working up my research. A correction. My golems are lvl2 and can be upgraded to lvl3 with my next DE push. Im sitting at 65K now. Either that or I can work my heroes to lvl10. I use golems for clan wars(GoWiWi) so im pushing for that. 10 day research too. Everything else for this level is done.
I will likely work up my walls to skulls. Inner walls are almost done. Still debating if I will wait and do both xbows now and waste all this elixir I am getting or just start the 2 week upgrade on the th and farm way more to get the walls up.
My goal when the TH finished upgrading to 10 is to have Max elixir, 5+ mil gold, as much dark elixir as possible and my 3 builders free so I can start upgrading the lab and new defensive units.

wow!
there's a lot of strong feelings that you should max TH9 before you upgrade in this thread.
for me, it's really a balance of factors that result in a simple determination: how will i progress the fastest in the game?
at earlier TH levels -- TH8 and below, i found that maxing that TH (where you got tier 1 troop upgrades that really mattered) was optimal. a TH7 can farm relatively defenseless TH6 bases very easily and can quickly max out everything (except the BK). a TH8 gets upgrades and can bully TH7s. TH9s get an upgrade and can sort of bully TH8s, but there's a diminishing return -- and TH9s get raided by TH10s constantly (and are generally defenseless).
Now, there is no real tier 1 troop upgrade going from TH9 to TH10 (wbs kind of help -- but there's really no difference vs bases you'd raid for farming, and goblins aren't really that big a deal as a TH10 farmer).
your defense against TH9s (who will effectively skip your base once you get two infernos) and TH10 farmers, who will also skip your base is going to dramatically spike. no casual farmer is going to attack your base once you get two infernos. you may still get wiped when some max GoWiWi decides your base has enough cash/trophies to attack, but that's about it. with the addition of two infernos and an xbow, you'll cross the all-important threshold of being farmer fodder, to simply not being worth the expense of attacking.
now, if you're a crazy farmer at TH9, and maxing heroes and walls is a matter of weeks, then by all means stay and max TH9 -- you'll feel the loot penalty. for me, i signed in a handful of times a day. at TH9, it got to the point where even if i had maxed every last defense, i'd still have to consider whether it was worth breaking my shield simply because TH10 farmers (with hogs -- pre patch -- and loonions could wreck me) would swoop in every time my shield was down and destroy at least 2/4 gold containers.
i decided that getting to TH10 and stopping those attacks was more important than the loot penalty. i have had maxed infernos for quite a few months now -- i can't remember a single occasion where a farmer has attacked my base and done any real damage. i still get a max GoWiWi every once in a great while, but even those attacks are unlikely to hit me for even half my available resources now.
ultimately, it's your choice. but i'll leave you with a final note -- clan wars are more fun with TH10 maxed troops. have you ever seen what raged lvl 5 pekkas do?
Cant honestly see point in delaying th10 for MONTHS to do walls. Same for lab, well done on that quick work, think how many days that will sit idle...
Start the bows and start TH dude. All 14 days anyway...
I ask myself, whats better protection for loot/🏆s, a month and total of less than 60mil gold for 2 max infernos and a third lv3 bow? Or 250 million on lv9 walls. I can tell you, as i spent months smashing ANY level th9 for their dark, not 1 💩 was given how tough walls were. 2.5k from a th9 was always a better bet than 3k in a th10 that seemingly endless giants barbs n gobs would get swallowed up by infernos.
