Late flower (wk8), outdoor - senescence + ripening (?)

Beginning week 8 (day #51) of outdoor flower - refer to last pic as to what I considered day 1.. people might count earlier/later.. wasn't sure, myself tbh.

Trichs ~ 20% clear / 75% milky / 5% amber

The calyxes haven’t swelled much anymore for past week or so, buds are staying the same but looking more 'legit', had a 2nd flush of thick white stigma / pistils last week but notice them maturing and receding quicker today, few white still


Q1: the plant (in general ) has been getting particularly faded recently (lime green + yellow leaves), is that expected 'senescence' stage and low N? Anything to look out for or consider?

Q2: I was advised ~ 2 wks ago (here on RIU) that it may take another 4-5wks to be ready, but had decent overall development since and would be an additional 2-3 weeks from now - ideally (due to circumstances) I would like to harvest within 6-9 days. Opinions?


Also did 1/2 feed yesterday but going to just use water going forward, and intend not to water 3 days prior to pulling - heard that can help w/ drying and resin response.

FYI, my first grow, bit pedantic with learning phase - was also bagseed (from unknown strain, but told by source was possibly jack herer, sativa)

Thread shoved into Page 3, hence bump 24hrs later

lol notice a few people have viewed thread and images, but no replies yet

Bananas make me think it is seeded which always makes plants appear to finish early
Sorry
Harvest when ya want but you can't rush mother nature

They're not nanners (from what I can tell, under 30x), they shrivel up and go brown like normal. Just a thick bunch (3-4 hairs) of premature stigma / pistils that go white/yellow, then eventually spread apart and brown off. I initially thought the same, but the camera pronounces it - especially during that time in the afternoon.

During the first flush of pistils, I worried about nanners due to photos (in person, they're clearly stigma) but they browned off like normal. Exactly like these recent photos. Alot of these "yellow" hairs are faded and receding as of today, too

You referring to these in particular (orange)?

You can kinda see how the pistils change (blue)


If you noticed anything else, let me know as you could be correct
