Is Northern Light(auto) supposed to look so dark in color, Am I overthinking? :lol:

Btw.
About 9 days ago I forgot to water my plant, and the soil was dry for 2 days (starving), soo the plant looked like this
539B6C69-6C8E-4B65-9C26-028EF6DFF6E5.jpeg. But 2-3 days before it started drying out it was looking like this2206C276-1499-4AC2-BBA1-E436806328DE.jpeg.

I’m starting to wonder if the plant is hurt from those two days drying, perhaps that’s why it looks so ready for harvesting..She wasn’t looking like that before those days she starved..

Happy Grow :leaf:

How many weeks in flow, what strain? Trichs look pretty clear still. Has it bounced back at all? Looks like they could use another week or two.

Its at week 7-8 of flowering.
Strain: Northern Light.

it doesn’t look like it bounced back to be honest. But I’ve been treating it like it’s back, with feedings and etc..

I saw you post about this in another thread yesterday or the day before. I have to agree that sadly the 2 days of drying had a negative impact. Your plant needed a couple more weeks and it looks to me like it starved to the point the remaining leaves fell off and it started to die. I don’t know if you had defoliated the plant previously, but it looked like it from the before picture. I would bet if the plant had more leaves to start with you wouldn’t have had this problem. I’ve had plant for dry for multiple days and completely spring back. They sucked some water from a few leaves and those leaves died, but the buds didn’t get stunted and the plants didn’t die. With out any leaves in the plant though it had. I were to remove water or bites from and the drought over took it.

Wont grow new leave. Probably won't make a huge difference at this point, but can't hurt unless you see other potential issues coming in. if you do devide to give her more time, be sure to remove any dead stuff to avoid mold. The buds and sugar leaves are likely still alive, so just water and feed lightly till chop time. You might be able to get a little more weight and let those trichomes cloud up a little more. Keep an eye out for nanners too, since you clearly stressed the shit out of her. Post updates! :peace:

Okey, I’ll do that.
Is this very rare, or do growers grow without any fan leaves and actually benefits?

I fed the plant on Monday (15% run off).
Now 3 days later, 70% of the water is still there.
Before those days she dried, she would’ve used 80% of the water up.
What do you think I should do? How do I remove water?

thanx btw

Honestly I think the plant is probably done. You can leave it a few more days and let it try to finish up the best it can. Don’t worry about removing anything or fucking around just ride it out.

Okey, got it!
So it’s possible that the plant can bounce back at this moment.

Am I stupid if I harvest now? I’m stressed because the plant doesn’t drink anything after it dried. Fed it 3 days ago still 70% left in the pot. Should I wait for the plant to recover, do they recover after being trough this level of stress and still produce good?

I’ll post some new updates about the plant this next week. Appreciate it bro :wink:

Okey I’ll do that. Thanx for the advices bro really helpful:-D

Last thing..do you think I’ve lost anything, like thc or yield from that time the plant was drying? Or do plant usually stop producing when they’re dry and without hurting what’s already grown?

Happy Grow :leaf:

I definitely think it stunted the plants growth. From how it looked before the drying incident it was still actively growing which means you likely lost a little yield maybe a little quality. But shit happens just try not to repeat next time.
