Harvesting question

Hi all,

Total newbie here. I'm growing CBD Auto 1:1. I'm on week 6-7. I've two plants. One looks great & has acouple more weeks to go. The other one was always faster & within a couple of days all fan leaves have fallen off & its all shriveled. Stalk looks good, buds look good. I'm not sure if it is early/ready/left too late for harvest though. Trichones look clear to my eye even though leaves look brown.

Any thoughts??

Tnx

have you changed anything? Can we see full plant pics? Have you checked for any pests? I don't like the looks of those necrotic leaves or hearing that they suddenly started falling off..

let us know your medium, light, temp/rh and nutes

also you may want to remove any dead leaves around your bud sites to prevent them leading to bud rot

Yeepers!

Txn for the thoughts. I removed dead leaves.

No I didn't change anything. It's outdoor and I wanted to grow it naturally so no nutes just a fortified soil. I put a little seaweed on it but took it off when buds started to fatten. It was great until 5wks in then fan leaves all died, which I thought was normal but it is looking pretty brown now... I don't think it's a lack of nutes as I've two other plants (CDB Auto & Moby Dick) which have same regime & look great. I don't believe there are pests either but I'll double check. I think water is OK. Usually every second day, I let it dry out a little.

Here's some sad pics. Tnx!

being outdoors I wonder if it has a pest or disease issue.. have you checked leaves and stems for signs of pests?

I got para (about weed not on it for once!) so chopped it to dry it out. I didn't find any pests but then when I left it on a table to trim I saw a small insect scurrying about. So I've no idea. You might be right. But it was a good starter plant anyways. Maybe it will cure ok. Ill check my remaining grow for pests too. Onwards & upwards. Tnx for the thoughts!

you may want to look into bud washing if you have not yet

If you can pull a sugar leaf off with little to no resistance, it's bud rot...

Sugar leaves don't pull off easily so I don't *think* it's bud rot.

Noted on the bud wash. Good idea.

Tnx folks

Post script!

Think I figured it out in case anyone has similar. Second plant , same strain, started to go the same way. I believe it is due to heatwaves where I am in Mediterranean. The buds started to get crispy on the sun facing side. Other stain is going great so potentially CBD Auto 1:1 is just not very resistant to severe heat during flowering. Lesson learnt.
