Should I try and fix this issue 2 weeks before harvest?

So my plant is on its 8th week of flower and I have about 1-2 weeks left before harvest. As you can tell by the picture it’s starting to go light green and a few leaves are going yellow and falling off. TypicalIy I would assume this is normal as it’s so close to harvest but if you look towards the bottom right hand corner of the picture, you can see one cola that is still looking perfectly green and healthy unlike the rest of the plant. I was just wondering, should I give it another top dressing of my organic DR. Earth 3-9-4 or should I just let it ride itself out till harvest? I’m not sure what kind of deficiency I have going on here. I’m growing in a 3gal fabric pot with coco and watering a gallon every 2 days with 2 TSP of cal/mag ph’d around 6.2. My last top dressing of 3-9-4 was 2 weeks ago.

Leave it be just continue on. They look normal for the stage they are in. Doing good. Start flush 7 to 10 days before harvest for clean smoke.

Nice fade. If you can lower your night temps to give a little stress, she would be Beautiful.

Don't bother with a flush,it is a waste of time.Why would you starve your plant when it is in it's swelling stage?

Lol maybe reading the post before replying would have spared this nonsence .... op is top dressing using organic dr earth . Said nothing about a flush. Everyone knows organic means no flush unless you grow under a freaking rock

Gheez 2 weeks after a top dress? Iv went 4 weeks mid bloom with gaia with no ill effects..not familiar with dr earth though. These plants look very far from “starved” anyway.

The last 2 or 3 weeks you'll see alot of changes, yellowing is one of them. If you flush you'll really see it, as well as the plant developing lockout of some nuts and different deficiencies. All normal and that late into flower, not a concern.

Oh and also, the tops will fade faster and mature faster than lower branches and nugs. More light.

HEy bro..the plant looks beautiful but definitely has closer to three weeks to go. Take that plant probably to 75 days I bet for it to reach its potential. Your brachts aren’t swoll and lots of new growth in buds. Chop early and you’ll get a bad representation of the plant you’re working with.

Here’s mine currently. These buds have another week to two weeks for the potency to be there in a major way. Wait for most all brachts swoll and pistils darkened and receding before even looking at trichomes. 90% or more of people are early harvesting 65C079F2-70C0-47DD-AF46-44A5B5859AE3.jpegCDB6C7FA-8FC5-44BF-9FDE-6018C7365467.pngD7FD567C-7B84-42C6-8FE9-B9C90D61D023.png1BAB17A5-F191-4586-ABEE-9BC4610B5B76.png

hey, donjac82... it looks like there's a tiny bit of the beginnings of P.M., unfortunately... if you nip it in the bud now, you'll probably stop most of it before it spreads too badly.

lol, it's not a "mag deficiency"... so many cannabis growers overuse magnesium... doesn't help that it in a lot of bottled nutrients (which many newer growers use). that is good that the large leaves are yellowing like that, in that current state of maturation... it means that there isn't too much nutrients in the soil and the plant is pulling all the nutrients from it's reserves in the leaves. this will help to insure that the dried and cured buds don't have a bunch of nutes in them and contribute to strong, smooth and tasty buds that burn to a fine white ash...
