Approaching harvest - is this a normal amount of yellowing?

First-time grower here. I was gone on vacation for a week and left our girl in the hands of my fiance, who is not a plant person. I had her on a moderately heavy feeding schedule and told him not to worry if a couple leaves started to yellow, as we're just a few weeks away from harvest. I got back last night and took a look at her. Eek!


That looks like over-fertilization to me, and my instinct is to flush her, but I want to check with you guys first in case that is a normal level of yellowing and leaf die-off. She's just finished her eighth week of flowering, and I think we're two or three weeks out from harvest - only the calyxes on the lowermost buds have started to turn brown, and the trichomes are still mostly clear.

nigtrogen def it looks like

which is normal

make sure your flowering nutes have got N and bump it up a little.

I sometimes add a boost of Nitrogen halfway through flowering to try and keep this to a minimum. It is normal. The plant is taking Nitrogen stored in the fan leaves.

Those plants look good. I would just add water only last week or so. I wouldnt add much nutes at this stage, let me guess....two or so weeks left? Funny, I just re-read your post and say your down to last few weeks.

Keep going, those look great to me.

pic one...... get the old dead foliage out of there. perfect place for bugs and mold to start.

and let her finish, she looks ok.

I have to give you props. I saw those and thought that but too stoned to remember to add it.

agreed - get rid of all leaves 50% yellow+ looking good else

and i flush for final week anyway

looks pretty decent to me... just make sure to pick all that dead debris off n ...container looks small so maybe have to water more often...wouldnt give any nutes at this stage just some molasses n water...good luck

the brown crap at the bottom should come off and everything else looks great.

Okay, so I was reading it COMPLETELY wrong! Thanks everyone for the advice, and it's great to hear that you guys think she looks good, too. I'm going to give her a good dose of N for the next week and then start flushing.

noooo dont add nitrogen...no n needed.... if u are gonna give her anything other than molassas or ph'd water ...give her k..... no n very little p and high k ..this late in the game...koolbloom is real good good luck

Why no N? I understand she's nearing the end of her lifecycle and going to die soon anyway, but the bud still has a little finishing to do and she's losing leaves pretty rapidly.
