Hi first of all.

Really sorry this should not have happened.

I was on a trip to my parents and was only planning on being away for 7 days. I have bluemats. The trip got 4 weeks long in another country.

This is my first harvest. To make the story short my father got a heartattack and I prayed blumats would do the trick with the 250l tank Im in week 14 now just got home. They just fell asleep but seriously what do I do? I took some fast pics. Do i give some of them "a little" nutrition? Or still Just water? Did this screw up the final evolvement? Should I harvest now? The crystals are on one small red stuff around but can barely see them with 60x lens. Mainly white and some not even cloudy but my eyes are zzz so i cant see 100% its dark in there aswell. However they are all different strains and im going crazy here. They all look different aswell and really really ILL =(. I'm so confused here please help so I know if i should harvest some or give some of them nutrition. Some look really sick :((((

Should I try to get better pics NOW and wake them up or should I wait untill tomorrow?

I know the last 2 weeks should be flushing before harvest, but I really dont know what to do here now to make it still the best it can get before harvest.

Sorry and thanks!

First off - sorry to hear about your pops.. hope all is well on the family front bro most importantly..

Second - shit happens out of our control.. are you on your 14th week of flower? prob gonna be some sleeper/couchlock weed unless your growing sativas.. if they look ready to you just take them down asap.. better now then never.. if they look like they could still use another week or so switch to just water then harvest.. might not b able to flush now but hey nothing a good cure and proper drying won't help... better off harvesting then letting it go past the point of no return and potentially wasting 4+ months of hard work.. but deff. don't stress over it.. they still look alive and that's what really matters in the end.

10th week of flowering atm for all of them. I'm not quite sure though how much because they all look different and some have different evolvement. I guess this is normal aswell or im freaking out to much here? I've tried to done my research but its been so much lately and im confused. What are the key elements that i should look at now to make a proper judgement on if i should harvest some NOW or not. Those that look in some more need i just give plain simple water only still? Feels like all this I was away some have been "stunned" or something. Aw man =(
Thanks deoxy much appreciated.
I'm growing both sativas and indicas =)

First time, such an experience, such a blast and I really hope so much that it will be ok or "descent" anyway

take a deep breath... your fine, an indicator is that 3/4 of the pistils have changed color and receded into the buds.. you can also take a bright flashlight if you don't have a good scope/magnifier to check them and flash it on them, if you see sparkly reflective drops it's *usually* an indicator of clear'ish trichs.. when they cloud and amber up they lose their reflective shimmer.. this is not deffinitive but it can help you judge if need be in emergency on when to chop.. depending on the kind of high/plant your going for.

If you feel like waiting an extra week and are not in a rush give them a good plain water then go from there.. 10 weeks isn't much.. hell I take some of mine to 12+ weeks lol.. you will b surprised on how resistant cannabis plants really are in extreme cases.

Wow hm so its all good? Even though it looks like its dying?

So they can really be without nutrition for 5 or up to 6 weeks without nutrition and then harvest and be "all good"?

Aw man you deserve an award.

yes sir.. essentially you just flushed them w/o intending to.. you caused them to feed off themselves which is why you got all the yellowing and crispy leaves.. which is not a bad thing, better then over feeding or under/over watering IMO .. you just lowered your potential harvest with little or no food avail. in worst case.. now 4 weeks without water is a sep. story but if that was the case I don't think they would still be standing tall when you got back lol.. and if that's the case there's nothing you can do now that will save them and you should just harvest.. cut your loses and start over.. my .2 cents
