All leaves dying, Tips of bud leaves yellowing and dying....close to harvest

Is this normal? She still needs more time i feel....at least a week or 2. The leaves dying doesnt really bother me at this point, but the yellowing tips on but leaves is worrying me - looks terrible. What have i done? Was it by using water out the tap?

Thanks for any info!!!

Addtional info:

Outdoor grow in pots
Natural light - South African sunlight
Minimal nutes added

Post pict, so WE can see what you got goin. And yellowing of the leafs in nothing to worry abouth. Thats just a lack of N and the plant dont need it no more End of flowering

think you answered it on your own...you said minimal nutes and i see nothing on the pH. and how old is it. you say 2 more weeks but how long so far and what strain is it

Thanks - will take a pic later @ Post!

I dont know what the tap waters like in south africa but...prob not good..

Its sativa - started flowering at the end of June (Induced, as its the middle of winter there then!). I think growing it in winter outdoors has not helped it!

I know nothing about ph.....or how to test it for that matter! As for nutes, yes...minimal....been adding molasses to the water now, hope this somehow helps. (from your answer, i think its time for me to learn more about nutes and ph for my new babies!!)

Also - spidermites were eating her insanely, but since the leaves are dying they are gone thank god!

Thanks for both of your help.

If bud tips are drying, maybe check for bud rot? Is there grey fuzz, black dots, or a pretty funky smell near the dry bits? Last time I got bud rot, all of the leaves turned brown, and the colas began drying from the top down.

The tap water is good here, just the chlorine im worried about

I have started leaving the water out overnight as i have read here that that evaporates it? Hopefully this will help.

Thankfully there is no smell (besides the good smells) or black dots or fuzz, but there is more damage on the top / older buds then the younger ones....hope it isnt bud rot!!
