RQS ZZ Sweet Auto - Ready to harvest?

[Val85]

Hello All!

Second time grower here, first time with autos.

I'm in full week 8 with my ZZ Sweet Auto from RQS.
I'm flushing my little girl from a week.

I have 2 questions
1) it's normal that foliage is turning dry and with several spot? I dont want to treat with chemicals in this phase..
2) ready to harvest? How much time to get the perfect balance THC/CBD?

Thanks in advance everyone!

I'm a little stumped here. It looks like it revegged while it was in flower. The odd shaped leaves and color don't match a bud ready to harvest.

Never thought about revegging.
She's an outdoor germinated on 14th may. Northern italy at 45° north, so she suffered the extreme heath wave of last weeks, but never missed water in the fresher hours. She's a 34% sativa, remaining indica and ruderalis.
I used 1 week of biobloom NKP (a bit old, i must admit) during first flowering week.
I had a bad thrips infestation putted down by insecticidal soap and neem oil.
Other than that and LST, I cant figure out what could be happened that stressed the plant..

There's not much you can do about the damaged leaves, at this point All the energy is going into the buds.
All the pistils look white too me, meaning it needs more time, Maybe a month-6weeks more.

Tis leafy looking bud. Heat stress maybe.

It definitely went through something and it has a long way to go before harvest. I dont see anything on there even close to harvest.

3-4 weeks at least.

Don't think it's reveg showing, bit of heat stress perhaps as Wayzee says, maybe a bit too much N but not too bad, bit of nute burn maybe....but they dont look bad, keep em going. Couple more weeks at least Id guess

Thanks all for your precious advices, i'll keep going!
yes, for sure heath stress has taken its toll, the heath wave lasted for almost 3 weeks, exactly when flowering started.

I thought I was nearer to harvest, i'll let them grow for 2 more weeks and i'll keep you posted!

Do you have a jewelers loop? If not buy one and when the pistils turn golden and start to draw in I start checking for cloudy trichomes every few days
