Late bloom plant fading heavily

CrypticBMB
CrypticBMBstarted grow question 9h ago
5 weeks into flower, organic grow. Plants are starting to fade heavily and buds aren’t quite ripe yet (still some clear trichs and white pistils on lower buds) I don’t wanna add more nutes at this point. Will the buds be affected if I leave it to ripen?

There's an awful lot of orange pistils, what do the trichomes look like? If there's enough cloudy I would just harvest. She could be ripe, Having brown, dead, crispy leaves on your buds sucks to trim.

why don't you want to provide the building blocks? a fast-moving fade is a clear sign you are not providing enough to match the use/growth. ripening is growth even if it doesn't seem like it is. it still requires energy (sugar) and building blocks (molecules/atoms from nutrients) to do its thing. starving it of building blocks isn't going to be a net-positive no matter how often bro-science repeats it. you probably can't make the canopy pretty again, but ignoring starvation symptoms is going to do the opposite of anything beneficial. As always, simply diagnose and react to specific deficiencies as best you can. take not of timing of when these symptoms started and you can adjust your methods next cycle to avoid it, hopefully. whether you starve the plant or not at the end, the flower is still constitued the same way, So there is no cause to an effect on flavor or smoothness. Sex organs evolve to perform specific functions. They are not for storage of molecules derived from nutrients provided. They do not perform this function. That is the function of the leaves. Storage in leaves can mitigate running a deficit of nutrients for a short period of time. If they run out, you are just delaying or making the ripening impossible as there are no molecules to build the terps and thca etc etc. law of conservation of mass... nothing new here. things don't just spontaneously manifest.. luis pastuer proved that was nonsense back in the 1800s. Providing nutrients that are clearly needed in higher concentrations due to the symptoms in your leaves will not cause a problem. it simply is giving the plant what it needs. i don't get how this is somehow perceived as a negative, lol.

Let them finish............there is nothing you can do to "fix" this..............it is too advanced and too close to harvest.........you are out of time to affect any changes.

make sure to feed your plants with a mix of your grow and bloom nutrients at the begining of flower. your plants still need normal amounts of nitrogen for the stretch phase. so the first 4 or 5 weeks after 12/12 if you had been feeding correctly then it could be a ph issue. but your plants look phenomenal nonetheless

Hey, it‘s literly your goal to let them fade in the end of flowering cycle, just Not too early… Since they lowering Photosynthese rate towards the end of flowering the leaves are primarly for nutrien storage, which they Are mobilizing right now… it really depends on your flowering time, when you into week 5 & flowering is dated to 8/9/10 weeks ( + 2 weeks on top what breeder say ) you should definitly add nutriens! If you see the fade 2 week befor harvest is the optimum timeline & than your good to go
