Ok...now what do we think? Still 3 more weeks?

Hey everyone, I posted some pics recently (not very good pics) and asked how long till harvest. The trichs on the leaves are definitely telling me she's ready, but the 1 little bud I checked still did not have amber hardly at all. I got advice that I still had 3-4 more weeks just a few days ago, but she has really changed in the past 2 days and now I don't even know if she'll live that long. I watered her yesterday (I was 2 days later than I wanted but she had always rebounded w/in 30 minutes....not like now where she looks to be on her last breath).

I'm past the window of harvest suggested by the seedbank, and I know they are often short on time. This is Royal Haze (Sativa dom) and a CFL grow. Can I get some feedback from those who are experienced? As of today, she's been in flower for 76 days. Thanks so much.

These pics are all of the same ONE plant.

Still learning here...why do you say to chop? What tells you that? Thanks.

No new growth and she looks like shes dieing which = stress which will hurt quality

She is force ripening as I like to call it. When a plant knows its not doing good or dieing in flower it rushes to the finish line. The quality, and yield will be lower than it should. That plants not ripening because its done or because it wants to its just dieing and has no choice. Im not sure what all problem you have or had but for one it looks over watered. How often did you water it? water, feed, water, feed, or feed feed feed...? Some even like to water, water, feed, water, water, feed. It helps to avoid burning and salt build up.

Oh she's definitely not over watered.....I actually had an unexpected travel issue and didn't get back to water her in time, so what you see is her not rebounding from dehydration as she always had on the few other occasions that I waited too long to water her (basically every 4th day, alternating just water and then water/nutes). She wasn't looking that badly at all till just 2 days ago but because she's not making a come back I figured I'd better cut my losses. It's been a tremendous learning experience so even if I just get a little from her I will have considered it a success for my first go at it with less than optimal conditions. Had heat problems so could only use 4 23-watt CFLs in the rubbermaid box...had to travel once and she stretched like crazy. All in all she's been amazingly resilient. I really want a grow tent now so I can let future girls get height. If she still looks this badly tomorrow, I'll harvest her. If anyone else has opinions, I'd love to hear it, but I think she may not make it back to healthy again and it would be safest to harvest now.

yeah you can cut that

hmm..that plant is NOT ready, def looks like something is going on there but she needs another 2 weeks or so, u could prob get away with a week or a week and a half but she needs 2 more weeks, just my opinion, she is NOT DONE10 or 14 days and youll be pleased, promise

one of the pics looks like she got the nitrogen 'claw'. def cut back on the nutes now. the leaves seem limp from the pic, i think she is just finishing up, let her go another

Not ready. Hope she can survive the 3+ weeks to finish ...

Ya need more lumens......
