Hey I have a plant 6 1/2 weeks in flower. Buds very developed but still a good bit of white hairs some not receeded yet. Trichomes look mostly clear and somewhat cloudy. This was a soil cfl grow. Will it be worth any reward to pic early before plant dies? About 10gs on plant and I have more but just this one is dying.
Plant dying have to pick early..help

yeah if it keeps dying it might get moldy or rot, if it turns black or fuzzy you just have to throw it out

How exactly is it "dying"? Plants don't just "die", it takes something seriously extreme to make a cannabis plant die.
Picking this early you're not gonna get any potency, weight, taste, etc so how about keeping it alive for the next few weeks so your effort will have been worthwhile instead of smoking worse than dregs?
By dying I mean all of the fan leaves were falling off and yellowing was thoughout the plant. I bought a 100x mag today and I was at about 10% amber trics so I picked it. I cleaned it up and it looks decent. Keep in mind this plants been through more than a refugee in Africa lol so I'll take what I can get. Bud smells dank though I'm shocked. Also 5 sprouts just popped the surface and I have another about 5 weeks in flower. This was my first grow so I did it for experience but any reward is appreciated so 2 more weeks n I should have an oz off my 15in topped plant. Will post pics soon

dude all the fan leaves slowing go yellow and fall off deep in flowing, might have been normal. if it was 10% amber then you could be fine

You should try feeding them, Nitrogen to be specific. The plant wasn't/isn't "dying"...you were/are just starving it.
$10,000 says you either weren't feeding it, or you were using some stupid "cannabis specific" bloom feed that is way deficient in N.
My biggest piece of advice to you as a new grower is read how to feed tomatoes and ignore all the cannabis forum "facts". It'll let you skip about a year of BS

No,in an indoor garden or a peak harvest time outdoor grow you shouldn't have leaves "naturally" falling off. Cannabis naturally stays green until it's time to drop its seeds, it's an annual so it has no need to lose it's leaves for the winter.
Do tomatoes "naturally" yellow when it's harvest time?
