Day 85 of flower should I harvest

[Chico.haze]

Day 85 of flower and there is still white pistils and starting to form nanners on this white widow. My thoughts were harvest was around the corner so I didn’t think to feed and now I’m wondering what to do. My last feed was may 7 it’s sitting in promix and dry amendments.

Looking good!
Few weeks to several to go.

Looks like a mix of bad genetics and poor practices.
Where did all the leaves go?
Don't think this is gonna be good smoke, but you can still make some oil or hash etc.... there's always next time.

I don't like defoliation myself, but you do you, looks good all in all!

U don’t have any leaves remaining to power the engine. IMO the longer u let it go the more terps you’ll lose.

Looks like you've reached the point of diminishing returns . Whatever happened isn't reversible at this point .

Timber! Cough cough, but a finish line all the same! I understand

 

[Trap Star]

Please chop that tree...it's over.

Well said……there’s only so much “finishing out” a plant can do with so few leaves. I’m not sure if the massive defoliation was voluntary or not….so I’m not passing judgement. I defoliate and it’s heavily at times. In flower, especially mid to late, U want a fair amount of fan leaves remaining. I consider them a first line of defense . Without, it’s difficult for the plant to progress naturally and any issues show up in your buds.

85 days is a LONG flowering time. I think you over manipulated it personally. You can try to reduce light hours to 10 per day and see if that speeds up ripening, but it's basically over with at this point. In the future I'd reconsider whatever you did to train the plant to look like that.

1 day of a typical photoperiod cannabis plant is equivalent to 1 year of a human life. So that plant is 85 years old if we're going off averages. Obviously some pure sativa can go farther than that though..

They can linger in that misery forever. It happens to me. I don't know where the hell these brand new white pistils just keep coming from. Smoke it you'll like it.
