Should I chop her?

[Alteredegovintage]

Should I harvest her?
She lost basically all of her leaves.
Still pretty new to harvesting.
It’s been about 80-85 days and she’s an auto flower.
Hard to get good photos honestly.
Thanks guys

It`s still throwing white pistils so I would say it`s not ready.

Close but no blunt.

Damn close! Do you like your bananas ripe, overripe, or under? Nice grow!

So you chop down your bud before it's ripe because you don't think it will get bigger?

ofc not...but those are ripe

I disagree. Hey to each their own, you can chop your plants whenever you like but new white pistils sticking up tell me it's not ripe.

they keep making new pistils even if ripe from my experience...they are ripe when they are heavy simple. i cured some branches witha few weeks old flowering not even fully formed buds and it was some of the best weed ever tbh...but small amount

I disagree but hey, opinions vary. Your plants should not be making new pistils when ripe unless there is an issue with them. Smoking few week old buds, the trichomes would have been crystal clear. Hey if that's what you like then that's what you like. Not for me. I just chopped down my 4 plants after 12 weeks of flowering. Well that's not counting the first 2 weeks after flip. I prefer my weed well done.

I’ve been giving her 12 hours of darkness to try and speed flowering up.
Mainly doing so because the plant is pretty fried and doesn’t have too much vegetation left.

She does look a little crispy but I think it has enough green leaf on her, especially lower down, to finish out her life. What fried her? I think you are cheating yourself with the 12 hour dark period on an auto. I don't think that will speed her up, more likely slow her down.

I’m honestly not sure.
I think she just cannibalized herself due to a lack of nitrogen.

I’ll keep her under the lights if you think that will be okay. 24/0

Plants need sleep even if auto

Plants need sleep even if auto

Agreed, 18/6 or at most 20/4. Plants do things in their dark period.

Some people think autos aren't living plants or something..they make them sleep with the lights on

 

[Alteredegovintage]

Have you noticed any benefit of 20/4 compared to 24/0?

I've seemed to do fine with the lights always on.

 

[Relaxed]

YES. chop at some point....
