Prilyfe13started grow question 2 years ago
I've always wondered this and never asked. Should all cannabis plants go through senescence? I only ask because I've only ever had 1 plant that went through it. Am I harvesting too early? Or does it even matter? These are autoflower grows.

If you're nailing the nutrition, don't do a pre-harvest flush, and the genetics don't support it, then there's a good chance you won't see senescence and there's nothing wrong with that. As long as you're happy with the trichomes on your grow, then no one can you tell it's the wrong time to harvest.
There's a lot of debate about "flushing" and what it can or can't do for your plant (including a lot of recent research on this). Many top professional farms don't flush at all and as a result they see little to no senescence in their crop.
That said, I always flush - probably due to habit and/or bro-science - and I do always see a "fade" as a result. I've no way or telling you if this actually improved the smoke or quality though. Latest research suggests that it doesn't really help, but that probably won't stop me doing it every harvest! 😂

Its best to base your harvesting on trichome aging, which I suspect you are already doing. If the plant is going through senescence, it's because she's absorbing every last drop of nutrients left. In my first grow I stopped giving nutrients a bit too early and most leaves were showing deterioration from aging so I'm suspecting lack of nutrients might be the reason. Good luck on your grow

In some manner you should see some kind of deterioration from aging but not every pheno or strain will age the same as the next.
That being said some just perform better. If your plant doesn't age with bloom and stays vibrant that's a great genetic factor and should be takin into account for breeders.
Hope this helps.

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?

How much time could it be until the plant is ripe?Looking at the image of the trichomes (and ignoring the little black lint xD) can someone give me maybe a rough estimate on how long they could still take? Could it be a week, could it be 3 weeks?
I feel a bit unsure because I already see some amber ones too.

Should I harvest in 2-3 weeks ?Hey, do you think my plants might be ready in two weeks ? They're autos in 7th week of their life. I know that 9 weeks is ok for most, but these should take approx. 11 weeks. Do you think one more week of feeding, then flush would be appropriate ? Trichomes are mostly milky white
