To Harvest or Not To Harvest. Please help!

Ok guys my Jack Herer plant has be on 12/12 from seed and I'm on the 11th week from seedling, its not an autoflower strain I just have limited space and figured I would try it. My poor girl has had very ruff soil(Very acidic) and it has burnt up all the true leavs and now it's burning all my sugar leaves to a point were they are literally falling off. The buds are nice and frosty and about 85% milky for the trichomes, pistols are only about 65% amber. I know this is a sativa so I was wondering if those percentages are good for a sativa. This plant has had it ruff for the last month of it's life and it's getting worse by the day. I do have another plant that I'm going to let go for another week to get alittle more amber but it's not in as ruff of shape, so would it be a good idea and pull a week early? I'll post a picture if no one hates on the poor thing.

Post a pic. People on cannabis forums hate on everything, it's unavoidable bud.

True that J Bleezy so here are a few pics of the poor burnt up girl, the last picture is a nugg near the bottom. I forgot to mention this with my post but this plant isn't drinking water all that fast either. I water my other plant twice before I even think about watering this one and I usually water every 3 days or when they are light to pick up and soil is dry. The last few times iv waterd now it has taken this plant at least a week or even longer to get rid of the water it has. Hope this helps.

Jeez bub nice looking buds but those leaves could keep a man up in fear of nightmares. I have never run 12-12 from seed but I'd say your buds look nice they look tight and plenty frosty. Anything doing that to your leaves won't be prejudice to your buds when it has nothing left to destroy. All in all A+ bud

Yea I never stop thinking about that plant when I know it looks like this and isn't getting better. I'm one week from my original harvest date and just wondering if I should just pull her so this problem doesn't move to my buds or is it to early cuz there's only 60% amber pistols to 40% white pistols, but trichomes are all milky.

I know a lot of people use pistils as a harvesting idea but they are actually only there for pollination purposes it's not currently believed there's many psychoactive or medicinal compounds in the actual pistils. Harvesting is purely on your preference harvesting at different levels of trichome development results in different psychoactive effects. It seems to me the more "milky" the trichome a the stronger the couch lock affect. Clearer trichome a lead to a more uplifting stone. Just my opinion and understanding.

pull it than. Wouldnt want an all cbd harvest. Some strains have milk trichomes before the pistils start turning amber. Usually the plants done when the pistils are being sucked back into the bud swelling up and and hardening when i pull mine.

if your plant has stopped drinking it means its dying I would harvest now and be happy you got some hopefully good bud.

I thought the same thing especially sense leaves are drying to a crisp and falling off. I can barely touch this plant with out leaves crumbling.

Looks like a calmag Def that caused lockout..kill it...kill it with fire
