Are my girls toasted?

I'm growing pineapple fields in rockwool, ebb and flow style, with Jacks nutrients, and they're looking rough.

I know they experienced light and heat stress for a prolonged period (couple weeks) and I cut their feed from 1.4 to 1 when they started showing nute burn, but now they're yellowing something fierce. They're going on 9 weeks, and they should finish in a month, but I'm worried they won't make it that long.

What should I do, if anything?

Yellowing happens

Looks like light stress to me. Everything's greener towards the bottom and tips curling up. Light stress can look like nute burn somewhat. Its gd to dim light during last week or two anyway. When they start drinking less u should cut back on light to let plant finish ripening (during flush period). U don't wanna destroy your trichs with to much light or heat.
Also looks like u got a lil foxtailing on top of colas which would also point to light stress.
So imo just raise light or dim it. The yellowing should slow down but in late bloom its natural to yellow up when plant is using up nutes (which u want for better taste). But it looks like u will need 2+ weeks to finish her out. Kinda hard to tell with those pics.

Your plant is eating its own leaves to make the buds bigger. Your late enough into flower that you should be fine. My plants yellow a lot more than yours and the smoke comes out great.

Its hard to know if your leaves are yellowing normally as the plant ages or if there is a problem. (at least I'm struggling with this). Your doing better than me though. You'll get some very tasty smoke out of that !
