i am almost to the end of my 7 weeks of flower and the white hairs on my buds are almost all brown and looking nice but for the past week the leaves have turned for the worst. i thought it was nute burn and flushed her out but she continued to slowly dwindle.

i must harvest this friday apr 30. what should i do in terms of flushing , not watering , a day of darkness and any overall last minute things to do to improve my early harvest as much as possible .

also will the bud still be fairly decent although i didnt allow them to fully mature?

If you harvest too early your buds will be less dense, less potent, and less flavorful. You may also get more of an anxious high, but keep in mind your mileage may vary.

Some people describe unfinished buds as having a "straw" flavor. I highly recommend you do whatever you can to keep your plant alive until you can perform a proper harvest

i wouldnt mind the head high lol. i only flushed the plant once a few days ago and she has been drying out since.she has been healthy the whole grow but seemed to be depressed or something the past week and is now slowly committing suicide. this is a few pics from about 3 or 4 days ago but her leaves have become worse looking since

i would flush for a few days man.
and if your using cfls then thats why its dying i noticed the same thing my first grow.
the plant needs alot of light during flowering to compensate for all the bud.

whatever the reason is you must chop it down??
you gotta think of this in advance if you could just flush or add a Real light that plant would easily make it and youd have a decent harvest.
chopping too early just sux man ive done it.
fluffy weed that burns in 1 hit and a buzz that resembles someone first cig for 2 min.
try to save it

i know the longer i wait the better but i grow in my apartment and i am moving home for the summer and the absolute last day i can leave is friday. the plant has taken forever to flower today is the 52nd day since the light change to 12/12. im guessing its also shitty genetics cuz its bagseed. can you believe what i say and attempt to help me improve my meager harvest and yield as much as possible before friday?

sure i can believe that.. in my opinion you didnt have enough lighting though.. that is why it took soooo long to mature properly.. too bad man.. :(

i knew the lighting wouldnt be enough but its a cfl grow and my first attempt, i have 155 watts for one plant. and that was the answer i was looking for , i know the buds arent close to mature but harvesting is a must and it was a good growing experience and also a lesson to plan ahead on my timing for my next grow
