I think hes talking about your plants condition. It does not look like fading, more than like def, but if you said, that you fed them than you have probably issues. Once the affected leaves reaches your buds, make them look worse (probably the taste would also not be better). Purple stems and leaves shows lack of P and it does not like like you have huge colas sucking up all phosporus out of them, but just plant have problem with uptake. It is normal to get leaves lime green with purple colour, but your leaves looks like massive yellowing and dying. If it just strain you do not need to worry about, but when I see your buds I can easily say that they can handle 2-3 weeks but condition of your plant says cut it down. I am feeding my plants till the end without any flush or something similar. Just lower my basic bloom nuts to the half to lower the N to minimum and go full PK. I think you feel it by yourself that it is not the best time to cut, but when things getting really bad, than harvest is probably the best solution.
I checked same strain on the customer picture of the vendor website and I can't see anyone having same colors or yellowing on the plant, so these are because of issues as u said, not because of genetics..
Yeah agree the plant say cut me down now the bud say leave me there for more ..
Another thing I noticed is that the top buds are hard at touch, stiff, kind of half dry, while the bottom one fresh..
I think this is light stress from my ignorance, moved from cfl to led during flowering, and possibly not correctly feeded...
Not sure what I'm going to do, more leaves drying out, some of these will touch the buds today or tomorrow
I ll probably wait more but something tells me to cut (not sure if I'd just the anxiety of smoke it) maybe as said I ll cut fatter and most done and see what happened to the bottom..
U gave me many suggestions and thanks a lot for them, but I'm not yet sure what to do and I'm afraid it got fucked up if I keep it but same time to cut too early..
