They need more time. The buds look clear/milky. No glisten of amber.
If you do chop now. It'll be a buzzy high. Not something to relax to. You can consider those plants at the higher THC levels. But its not completely ripe.
Cut now or wait a week. Either way, you won't be disappointed.

I've been flushing for a week and this strain always has a pretty deep purple and yellow fade some of the fan leaves had completely died and shriveled up but she's still growing strong

It has weeks to go and it is "fading" cause you cut off the food it needs
Flushing is for salt build up and toliets

She's not done.
That's not exactly "fade".
Those crunchy leaves in the bud are bad juju.

Definitely been there before, when they get burned like that they don't always finish properly. If it were me, I'd let it ride as long as possible, but seriously be on the lookout for mold inside the buds.
Dead leaves outside of buds are fine, but when they're trapped in a dense, moist bud that's still alive and transpiring water, it's an open invitation for mold to grow. And because it starts deep inside the buds you might not even notice until it's dried and you're breaking down colas

Yeah ive seen mold in buds after drying without even noticing it when I did my wet trim and I was doing my last trimming touches right before cure and saw the mold I have pretty good airflow in my autflower tent but like you said sometimes its hard to catch especially with big dense bud I always let my plants dry up for 48 hours before chop to prevent the buds from being full of water and prone to mold during drying it seems to help im still learning everyday its so much fun

As mentioned ride it out
When plants look that way in flower the best taste and smells are lost and potency is reduced by not finishing
Shoot for a steady feed and not using additives

Okay will do im still learning for sure but im not doing to bad im smoke all my plants and got high as hell but I do need to nail down the smell and flavor alot of it ive found alot of it boils down to genetics if the plant doesn't have it in its genes to be fire it won't be no matter what you do to it ive recently purchased some ethos seeds that are suppose to be fire so we'll see lol

I would pick off all those knarly yellow leaves. They aren't doing anything for your photosynthesis, plus that gets them out of the way for trimming plus removes them for chances of them rotting on the plant.

I would lower temps and watch them for a week and decide later.
