Help please I’m getting scared to loose crop :(

[Fluffyhead]

Hello guys, I am 6 weeks into flower growing northern lights, it’s my first grow,
The top leaves are turning yellow, curling up and turning brown and crispy,
I have come this far and I’m scared I’m going to loose everything
Here’s some photos
Thank you for reading.

Without any information it looks like way too much pk.

I would run fresh water through to good runoff to clear the roots and then add in a low dose of a complete grow fertilizer.

If the buds are very close to be done like in a week I would skip the nutes.

I did increase the bloom part and decrease the grow part last res change a few days ago ( using gh flora 3 part ) thinking it would give the plants a boost the last couple weeks, and brought my lights a little closer to the plants ( led cobs) I should of just left things how they were, I’ve been reading ways to fatten my buds but it looks like I’ve made things worse, I should of thought this was the problem in the first place but i panicked instead and came straight here for help lol,
I’m 2 days into week 6 do you think they look on track to finish soon? I think it’s an 8 week strain
Thanks a lot for the reply.

If you post the pics in full image instead of the window gallery we can zoom in better. At least on my iPhone.

But the buds look ok. I can’t see how far along they are. And especially with problems don’t expect the breeders 8 weeks to happen. Usually takes longer.

The best potential is found when plants are kept happy and healthy. Nutes are not food to plants. Light is the energy. Nutes are merely like vitamins to the plant. They need them as they need them. More than needed is always worse than less.

I also don’t use bloom boosters. Just a General Grow ratio all the way through but tapered off during ripening.

They look like they are ripening. White hairs almost receded. I bet if you flush them out they still swell and get frostier.

So you think they will swell even more?
I’m gonna do a flush, and then do a Rez with very little nutes just incase they are needed then a flush for a few days before harvest,
Some plants look a little behind all the hairs are still white rather than some brown like in the photos, I don’t have photos of these plants at the moment is this normal?
Thanks again.

If they are from Seeds then you have different plants. They can vary.

You have a good plan.

Without seeing trichs, I don't want to advise on harvest time...but it looks like you've an over-ferting issue. At this point in flowering, my plants always like a 30-50% cut in their nutrient strength. I'd say yours are at this point as well.

Ok I have reduced the nutes now, I have a pocket microscope on the way in the post so I will be able to check trichs soon,
Thank you
