Progressive yellowing of leaves during flowering, should I harvest ?

Three weeks into flowering, lower leaves are all yellowing and falling off and working it's way up. I'm afraid after one week it will reach the top smaller leaves surrounding the buds. Should I harvest now ? I'm using a regular potting soil with led lamps. and have given it dilute fertilizer. My setup is very amateurish and the source of seeds was bird food. sorry for bad english.

No, give it a little nitrogen on its next feeding. It is not getting enough nutrients. What nutrients are you using?

Should be enough than. I cant help much unless i knew everything involved and ppm of feeding and such, Its not over yellow you are going to loose bottom leaves just let it do its thing. If you have not been over feeding and you know it give it a good dose of nutes instead of deluted. Deficiency start from the bottom burns start from the top. Bottom leaves yellowing and falling off is normal and to be expected during flowering as the plant moves growth production away from the bottom getting low light and up the the flowers on top.

thats normal when you flower nitrogen def the plant uses up resources in the leaves causing the to turn yellow and if you have a macroscope i got mine at radioshack for 11 bucks but you need to check your trichs to get a good estamite on when to harvest it should be some cloudy and some amber just up to you.
