Harvesting with high ppms in soil

Hello everyone, I just wanted to know if it’s safe to harvest even if I have high ppms. I’ve read where people say they don’t flush but I don’t know if this affects ppms. My leaves are yellowing and trichs are almost all milky so I flushed a few days ago. Planning on harvesting next week so I’ll probably get 1 to 2 more waterings in, but just wanted to know cause I don’t wanna smoke toxic bud. Here’s what they look like

Your first picture first of all looks like a month to go, the last 2 photos I would say 3 weeks. So wouldn't flush them just cut back the nutes slowly until harvest. Your plant can take extra stored nutes from fan leaves which can also cause your leaves to die off.

It just finished week 8 of flower and it’s an indica, it shouldn’t have a flower time of 12 weeks, at least I wouldn’t think. Plus most trichs are already milky. All pics are indicas and the breeder says about 8 weeks. I’ve fed them heavy up until the flush a few days ago too so the yellowing leaves don’t worry me I just wanna know if it’s okay to harvest with high ppms

Whatever amber trichs your seeming are damaged or make believe. As in you want to see them to bad in your head. You need to pull the reigns back and chill. That plant is not anywhere near ready. And just to make this clear. Amber is to ripening. And dont worry about harvesting to late. That’s damn near impossible

Shooting self in foot … they have a couple weeks or so to go. White pistils everywhere and you flushed on top of it. Now medium is leached and plant is trying to pull any nutes from the leaf matter.

Shes starving.

I don’t think they’re starving, the leaves are healthy and they were fed heavily up until the flush. From what I’ve read and past experience I’ve known trichomes to be the biggest indicator of when plants are ready to harvest and mine indicate they’re almost ready, I just don’t want to harvest with a lot of nutes left in the soil if that can affect my health

Well if you like smoking hay/grass go ahead and pull them and smoke it, just dint make another asking why your weed is harsh and airy. Goodluck!

I’d love to let them go that long but I’m afraid too many trichs may turn amber and I want a mostly milky harvest. Couldn’t that happen if I let them go too long? A few are already turning amber

Why do you want milky and no amber? Are you trying to get some head high by harvesting an indica early?

If you're going by this worthless chart then stop. It's a terrible guide to go by which is why I put a red X over it.

All your white pistils while turn orange, then thr orange start receding back into the calyx which causes your buds to swell. The last 2 weeks of harvest are crucial, it's just about patience and waiting it out. Yah it's hard but your 8 weeks just in.flower is awhile, so might as well sit tight. Because drying last 8-10 days if you can 2 weeks, then your trim and jar it and depending how.you like your smoke you can cure for a month to have good flower.
