Bingpot.The answer is in the question… yes always because thats what senescence is.
Thats not to say that senescence always occurs by the time harvest comes around but almost always to some degree or another
My orange tree drops it's leaves while they're green.Bingpot.
Degredation of chlorophyll is a key indicator of plant senescence. Think about tree leaves in the Fall. Don't see a green tree dropping leaves do you.
Thats not really senescence. Thats a stress responseMy orange tree drops it's leaves while they're green.
No always.Always sometimes. ;)
Well senescence is kinda always occurring… visually you can see to what degree but if you mean does a plant need to yellow before you harvest it… absolutely not.Ok so it’s harvestable before senescence . and it’s mature? @Aqua Man
I'd tend to agree with that but right now I have a green Gsc and a yellow Gsc from the same mother 10 weeks in flower under 2 different styles of Spiderfarmer SE 3000 lights. Both set to similar light levels via my lux meter readings, fed the same food at the same time in the same soil......One with yellow leaves one with green......whats with that???,,,the buds look identical just not the leaves.I'd say any plants programmed by nature to end before winter will fade at a moment,
but as we harvest before, sometimes the dying process has started and sometimes not, depending on genetics.
Weird, different diodes on the 2 lights? Maybe one light is causing one plant to need more of certain nutrients?I'd tend to agree with that but right now I have a green Gsc and a yellow Gsc from the same mother 10 weeks in flower under 2 different styles of Spiderfarmer SE 3000 lights.

In which way do you mean? It happens in all of them.should senescence bit looked at differently if comparing Soil/Coco/Hydro..etc grows.
Im thinking different phenotypes.Weird, different diodes on the 2 lights? Maybe one light is causing one plant to need more of certain nutrients?
I was gonna write that but then realized he said they are clones from the same mama lol.Im thinking different phenotypes.
Ahhh could just be the difference in light intensity and that will change the demands of everything from nutrients to VPDI was gonna write that but then realized he said they are clones from the same mama lol.
I would have just shrugged it off if not for this post.....Lots of stuff happens I can't figure out and I don't bother with the fine details of why. You can clearly see in one of my above pics the green on the left and the other 2 have faded like normal for me at 10 weeks...I scoped the buds yesterday and they're not ready but they both look the same with few amber and still some clear headsWeird, different diodes on the 2 lights? Maybe one light is causing one plant to need more of certain nutrients?
I use my lux meter to adjust each light to close to the same levels. never exactly but I bump up and down about 10% at a time as I think they can handle it, I'm still learning the led lights................ I see less is more and If anything I guess its possible they were at a slightly less powerful setting but very minimal if they were at all...Ahhh could just be the difference in light intensity and that will change the demands of everything from nutrients to VPD
Ok so you're using the definition of senescence......which is all good. I haven't actually looked up the definition, and I will. So if that's the definition, yep, always. If the question is "do all plant's leaves yellow at harvest time", that might be a different answer......op did ask "Senescence". What was funny was the "always/sometimes" part. I dig language..... ;)No always.
Senescence in plants is the aging process in which cell division stops (not dies) and therefore chlorophyl production stops, leaves change color due to anthocyanin production in the absence of chlorophyll
Yup you got it… i try to be as literal as i can because i find using the proper terminology important to answering anything accurately. Plus it leaves less room for confusion or error.Ok so you're using the definition of senescence......which is all good. I haven't actually looked up the definition, and I will.
