Should i just harvest this at three weeks?

My baby is dieing, i opened another topic about what i can do to fix her, but no luck. If it's nutrient burn, i think its too far to help it. This plant has been irregular since i started growing it, though. In my original topic from a month ago, there were a lot of people who couldnt believe it started flowering so fast. Heres what it looked like at two weeks:



Here's what it looks like now at three weeks:

So do i just harvest it and cut my losses? I'm leaving for 5 or 6 days out of state tomorrow and i'm worried when i get back it'll be dead beyond smoking.

In case anyone is wondering, i have two others in the same conditions thriving wonderfully, but they didnt mature NEARLY as fast as this one, nor did they produce nearly as fast. They are all clones off the same mother, yet this one was really odd. The white stems that grow out of the bud turned redish brown not even a week into flowering. I feel like this one just matured really fast and is probably ready to be harvested early.

But this is my first time around so i have no clue man. ;-;

What do the trichomes look like? That is the best way to tell if she's ready. If they are mostly milky I would cut it, you will still at least get high off her then. Looks like she is on her last leg that sucks. Or you could make some hash out of her its your call.

Oh yeah how far into flowering are you?

Three weeks man. lol its in the title

Are there alternate ways of looking at trichomes? I dont have a magnifying glass and like i said im extreamly short on time. Like i leave tomorrow morning.

WOW! That is just weird huh? I looked at the pics before reading the whole post. I was thinking it was an auto strain and perhaps you did not know. But, it is a clone and you have 2 others from the same mother. Sheeesh, she looks to me like she is ready but as the previous reply said check the triches.

lol harvesting it will kill it for sure.

Let it be, your leaves don't look that bad.
i might try and replant it so its fully out of the pot not half way inside it. but other then that let her finish and if she dies then cut it and smoke it. just because it died in the pot doesn't mean u can't smoke it.
Anyways good luck with your grow.

I guess thats true lol. But the wilting only started liek three days ago and its progressing so bad that it makes no sense to me.

What would it matter if it were an auto? just out of curiousity.

Sorry man I read the title its just odd that its that far at three weeks. Shit man u ask me I'd say your lucky I've waited ten plus weeks for a plant to be ready lol.

3 weeks is to erly. I would say if you cut now your gonna get crap. If you come back and it's dead you got crap. But it is a weed and weeds some how amaze me as how they come back from stuff. If I was you I would take my chance and hope for the best.

Warlock is right I can't imagine smokeable bud at three weeks, strange shit does happen though.

It doesn't even look that bad bro, just keep givin it plain water and see what happens. I'm sure it should still grow. Weed on tough plant

bro get it out of that deep pot and if your not giving your plant cal/mag then get it

you need to water more when you water and ensure the medium is evenly moist throughout and possibley more often would be my guess by how bad your fan leaves are drooping. also, when the medium is allowed to get too dry the fetilizer salts will build up and cause problems. its perfectly saveable. you are nowhere near the point of no return my friend. flush the soil well to help with any buildup.

Thanks, +rep. I'm pretty sure this is what was wrong, i started watering evenly. However, no good results. An above poster mentioned just letting it die, then harvesting..But it's starting to brown in the bud. I don't want like straight shwag xD..I tried taking pics of the trichs, here's what ive got.

So if i just let it die, im assuming that the brown will spread into the bud and destroy it completely?

It's truly not a big risk here either way so if you feel good about harvesting then go for it. Kinda odd little plant thoough ehh?

you can cut off the dead parts if you want. If it gets real bad you could harvest but i'd hold off as long as possible.
