buds falling off! time to harvest??

outdoor indica has been flowering for sometime and now i notice small buds falling off. they are def sticky too, maybe too heavy for the branch?

pick it and eat it, boil them with water add your favorite tea mix, smoke it , hash it. how old? pictures?tricome color? how tall? any discoloration? bugs mites ect? heat? humitdity? soil moisture? licence, registraition urine sample, check out the badge,check out the gun

I've never seen nuts just fall off for no reason before. Only way mine come off is when they are cut. Unless you got some gigantic nugs growing on lil tiny stems, I don't really see this being normal. Plant showin any kind of problems?

hahahaha the name of this thread killed me. yeah dude. if the buds are falling right off the branch i'd like to think the plant would be finished.

Weird post.

But as others have said, definitely give 'er the chop, or if you have the means to check the crystal colour have a look. If it's milky/amber, chop it. If it's still clear, give your branches some support and chop in a week or whatever.

sounds like your plant may be so ripe the stems are degrading to the point where they can no longer support the weight of the buds

Either tons of weight that the stems can't support or bud rot as someone else suggested.

flowering since end of july. started really sluggish then plumped up like crazy all over. the branches are still green but under the big chunks theirs small nugs that have dropped.

Can you get your hands on a scope of sorts? Even a magnifying glass is better than the naked eye.

You said late july, i believe you said indica yes?? if it is indeed an indica bush.. The answer would be yes time to harvest its been like 13 weeks....

It's the evolution of the auto-flowering strains... auto-harvesting.

is a qp wet for a single plant unheard of?

a QP wet for a single plant? Would that be around 4oz? 16oz in a POUND???

I get that and more per plant final dry weight!

So 4oz WET on a plant is definately not unheard of.


Pics below of my last harvest. 4 plant hydro system.


Netted 12.33oz dry bud after loosing approx 3oz to trimming and some to bud rot.

No...........

it was just a branch or 2 that had nug pieces fall to the ground. if they are budworms, everything will be re inspected.
another question: if spider mites are seen on the fan leaves but not the buds does that mean its still bad? the outdoor sativa has crystally nugs so beautiful but theirs mites on the underside of the big leave so were not sure if its worth to try and save.
