Will these buds be smokable after a trim?

Harvest is 3 weeks from now which includes a 2 week flush. Burnt leaves barely reached the buds, and came to a traveling stop, and the buds are now using all the nitrogen the lower leaves. Will it make it till harvest?IMG_20211112_115107248_HDR.jpg

If we knew something about your grow it will help. What are they in? What nutes are you using?

To me it looks like they have had multiple deficiencies that have been left untreated.
I'm using 45 actual watts led and 1 32 watt CFL. They are about 7 inches away from the Lights. Waterings and feeding ph'd at around 6.4. I've been using the Flora series, but I only started adding FroraGro a week after I seen pistils... I thought I could get away with bone meal infused soil. Anyways I use a little over a quarter of recommend dosage, but close to half of the FloraBloom (in that ratio) from veg on up. The medium is soil of course in a 1 gallon pot in a homemade grow box/cabinet.IMG_20211020_115839579_HDR.jpgIMG_20211106_132235730_HDR.jpg

You aren't feeding them enough. Use the nutes at the suggested strength and feed to the end. You can cut the nutes down slowly in the last week or so if you wish. Well done for getting that much of such little lighting.
 
1st off, yes, im super impressed with what you have there. Nice job!
I see some very red stems which could be mag deficiency or over watering. Be careful, i think you said you were in a 1 gallon pot? You cant feed high ppms to a plant in a small container, on a frequent basis. Also, using low watts means keeping the ppms low. The 1st pic, looked like it was never going to recover. The last 2 pics look earlier in the plant's life. Remember, you cant feed a plant under 80 watts the same way you feed a plant under 300 watts. The temps and humidity looked good. Hope it all works out.

That has 6-8 weeks left and my guess is you are not using enough water. The plant takes up nutes...eats what it wants and discards the excess back through the roots. Over time the trash builds up.

Flush the soil...a lot. With clean phd water. Flush the trash out. Then feed it and keep feeding it till it is done.

Those crispy leaves are going to give you problems though. The dead leaves are inside the bud structure and can cause rot.

Looks great for the low wattage. But if you should just buy a ~150W Mars Hydro or Spider Farmer, it will be a lot better (and those lights are not very expensive). No need to run a ghetto setup.

Also I would keep things simple, no bone meal experiments and the like. Give them the Flora series and be done with it (but don't overfeed, the recommended numbers are way too high in most cases).

Those are the same plants? Damn. Impressive recovery.
