What lights are you using? Not knocking your plants, but for a 5 gallon bucket grow they are kinda smallish and kinda dying.

Pay no mind to the naysayers. Your plants look phenomenal and kudos to you for having the patience to wait for the right moment. I can't tell you how many people chop too early and it's a crying shame. Every plant and every grow will produce a different amount of flowering time which is dependent on so many variables, I don't have the patience or the motivation to list them all.
Get yourself a descent trichome microscope and you should see milky resin glands with an inflated mushroom head which means the glands are swollen with resin.
You can chop at that point safely knowing that you're at peak resin production. I see your plant looks a beautiful amber which is my kind of plant, as I like a more narcotic couch lock high as opposed to a weak cerebral high. I just love that feeling of exhaling the rich smoke of a finely ripened amber bud, and your eyes instantly become difficult to hold open
That's what I like to call, the sweet spot!jonnynobody

They're not dying money. The plant is completing it's natural life cycle. It no longer needs to produce chlorophyll which causes a natural yellowing of the leaves (to different degrees depending on the strain and pheno). This happens because the plant is driving all of it's energy into the flowers for the ripening process. It's the natural order of things.
Why does an old man start to wrinkle and becomes frail, but a young man is strong like a horse with no wrinkles? It's the natural order of things. Living things change throughout their life cycle and plants are living things. Unfortunately when we humans die, there's no fruit to harvest and smoke. What a damn shame. God really f'd up on that one. I'll file my grievance with the big guy later

Why the hell would I do that?
When was the last time you saw the sun disappear for 4 days?
What benefit would you derive by stopping the process of photosynthesis as your buds are trying to ripen? A lot of stupid information gets passed around on these forums as proven methods that are nothing but lies that keep being retold and rehashed.
You'd be doing nothing but inviting potential problems doing something silly like that. I don't know where that myth got started or why.

Buddy, you can put your plants in the dark for a few days in a row...forget wtf these arm-chair botanists say. If you want to "trick" your plants into sexing, you could make the light it receives to less than 12 hours per day until it turns, OR, if you leave your plants in total darkness for say 3 full days (say if it's raining or cloudy would be a good time to do this), it very well could speed up the tricking process. It worked for me one year. I was only a couple days into covering my plants with a thick plastic bag, when I got dope sick from heroin. I covered my two plants with bags, and went to detox for a few days. I thought they might be dead when I went home, but I wanted to be dead too, so WTF eh? I went home, took off the bags and it had "Bart Simpsons" all over them both. Both plants went into full bud stage during that 3 days of total darkness. This might not work all the time, but it can work. I'd try either covering your plants or putting them in a dark place to make sure the light is very low for at least 12 hours a day until you can either see white hairs (PUSSY HAIRS) or what looks like a bunch of tiny green bananas (TESTICLES). You can also use the fertilizer 10-52-10 to make the change into reproduction. Sometimes, just the change from 20-20-20 (or vegging compound ferts.) to the flowering/fruiting formula of say 10-52-10 (where the middle number phosphorus is high), the plants can trick by themselves. 12 hours of dark doesn't have to be exact. As long as you get at LEAST 12 hours of darkness each day, your tricking of the plants will work, but 12 hours isn't written in stone. Some strains will turn into sexing when the light is still over 12 hours a day. This year, all three of three turned female when getting over 14 hours of light a day. It just depends...nothing is "written in stone" regarding growing pot successfully...just basic guidelines to give you an idea. Actually, when the plants are budding, it's better to be in the dark because that's when all the good stuff happens...in the dark...just like when you're with your partner in bed type thing. I hope this helps you.
