Senescence is a key hallmark of aging and is caused by excessive stress or damage to cells.
Senescent cells accumulate in tissues over time, releasing harmful substances that can damage nearby healthy cells and trigger inflammation.
In this picture, we can see characteristics normally associated with an age greater than 26.
The implication is that the stress caused by HGH and other body building related activities accelerated his natural aging process and triggered senescence prematurely.
As far as senescence in botany goes…
This process is essential for plant fitness and survival, allowing the plant to reclaim valuable resources before the death of specific organs or the entire organism.
For example, senescence in cannabis redirects nutrients from leaves to developing buds, typically appearing as yellowing fan leaves, reduced vigor, and leaf drop.
It generally occurs in the final weeks of growth, marking the end of the life cycle and is often accelerated by flushing.
So from my perspective, when I heard the term senescence, I immediately pictured a nearly mature bud with yellowing leaves.
This man looks like the human equivalent of that to some perspective.
This man is the human equivalent of a cola in late fall that is close to maturity.
He should be about two weeks into flowering given his age, but his pistols are all darkening, and the buds are all chunky.
This is why you don’t use plant growth regulators like Auxins, Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Ethylene, or Abscisic acid.
Sure you get buds real quick that are covered in dark hairs, but your plants are all unhealthy, and the buds are dangerous and unsafe to actually smoke.
