Plants will keep alive for some time, but not nutrients uptake will happen.
Think about a lettuce head in your fridge, it's still alive.
A green tomatoe will still turn red after cut from the plant.
Proper drying will definitely turn clear into cloudy and cloudy into amber.
Hope this solves your question!
Happy smokes!

Yes they do, that's why it is better to cut the whole plant at the bottom and hang upside down to let your buds dry out on the stem, the longer the better I have even let plants dry out still in the pot when the plant is finished just stop watering it and put it in a dark place for about a week or two until the plant is completely dried out and then harvest it, this method has produced some of the most terpene rich weed that I've ever experienced.

The only thing that stops is the plant taking in nutrients and water, as you dry and cure the will keep maturing its part of the process.Hopefully, that answered your question and feel free to ask for advice anytime, and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"

Flushing before harvest? Really? Any good science evidence to support or just commonly held belief?Is flushing the last two weeks something that really affects flavor/quality of harvested flower? Consensus among websites support it as real.... (But plenty of commonly held beliefs such as you shouldn't swim within 30 minutes after eating aren't true.)5 years ago

Male flowers on feminized plantsOn two of my plants I found some male flowers. I want to know what to with them and if they minimize the harvest.
Please tell me some information.
Unfortunately I can't add pictures so it would be helpful to look at the pictures of week 13.
Thank you and happy growing!Week 13

Trichome opinionsTrichomes: so my sugar leaves are showing a bunch of Amber's. Buds are almost 100% cloudy. I'm only at like 55 days from germination. I'd love to let the buds fatten up as much as I can. My question is "How fast do the Trichomes go from cloudy to amber?" Close to harvest??

HARVEST TIME?I don't know if I should harvest my plants yet. I've been giving them RO water for the last 1.5 week. One looks her pistils are getting too dark, while the other one has a lot of white pistils but many of her fan leaves and sugar leaves are turning yellow already. Should I cut?

I noticed this on one of the leafs. It’s in its third week of veg. I’m not sure if it’s auto flower seed then it should be close.
I noticed this on the leaf a reddish thing forming.
This is my first grow so. Any insight or help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Is it better to start flushing too early, or too late?Is it better to start flushing too early, or too late?
I'm going for the most sativa effects I can, which leads me to believe I want as much cloudy and as few amber trichomes as possible. Also leads me to think that "too early" is the better mistake to make.

Trichomes Check🧐 What's up everyone, if you wouldn't mind I'm asking for opinions on these trichomes, surprisingly difficult to get great pics. These 3 WW autos are 10 weeks old and 6 days from a flawless flush. I'd like to harvest for max thc potency. Thanks for the advice

Pistills darkenSomething strange happening here. Pistills starts darken on the 7th week.
She's a really short and I fed her the in the same way of my other baby (she's much taller and her pistills are still white). No smell from her.
Why is this happening? What should I do? Is she premature?
