So I have two plants that are 7 weeks almost 8 weeks into flower. Are these plants just dying from lack of nutes or is this a deficiency that I need to correct or say fuck it and not fix it just harvest? Last feed was late bloom general hydroponics 4/13/21 570ppm I attached photos below please inform me of what you guys think please. I need help!!!!

They look lovely. Have you dried and cured yet?

Its the plant in senescence. (Using up nutes from within itself.

You can 100% tell because your leaf tips are burnt which means you are/were feesing them slightly too much.
Looks great, give em another wk or so and should be done.

A healthy plant will enter senescence regardless of how much you feed. This is why flushing is irrelevant if a plant is fully finished and goes through senescence.

Your girls look fine. They don't just look fine they look gorgeous! You're in the ripening phase at this point. Congratulations on getting them to the home stretch! There doesn't appear to be any problem to fix. I noticed your upper canopy leaves were lighter in color than your lower leaves. Typically I observe the same thing in my flower room. What causes it and is it a bad thing? What causes it in my flower room is simply light intensity. That's why the upper canopy leaves are slightly light bleached while the lower canopy leaves are green. If you were in week 4 of flower you'd have a problem. Ending week 7 of flower? Dude, they look perfect! Lowering your ppm's to around 600 in the final 1-2 weeks of flower is completely acceptable. Many gardeners in both soil and hydro feed plain water only for the final 1-2 weeks, so reducing ppm's as the plants are ripening is sensible as they wind down their life cycle. The plants simply do not have high nutritive demands at week 8 of flower as the plant is finishing up as week 4 for example. It's a completely different phase of the plant's life and with that a different concentration of fertilizer makes sense which is why so many people do exactly that. Do you think organic gardeners are dumping buckets of bat shit on their plants in week 8 of flower? Of course not. That would be silly :)

Your plants are exhibiting what's known as fall colors. Keep doing what you're doing. They look awesome!

Negative, look at burnt leaf tips.
Senescence.
That's kind of a simplistic way of looking at the whole plant. He didn't mention what kind of lighting he is using. It looks like a touch of light stress to me but it's completely within an acceptable range. That's why his flowers look incredible. I suspect he has a very powerful light in a relatively small space.

Edit: Sorry, I meant to comment in reference to the other fellas post about the plants being under fed. I agree with you. They are not under fed.

Yeah it’s a marshydro 2000 and I had it really close and noticed some fox tailing on them so I moved it up another 6 inches or so and it seemed to quit with the fox tails she don’t like the light to close and I’ve noticed she doesn’t like a lot of nutes each time I tried to raise her she would show signs of nute burn so I would have to back off but in the end she turned out pretty fabulous for me I can’t wait to try her she has the most skunky sweet smell ever it makes me very impatient and gotta wait for dry and curing lol gotta love it though the rewards in the end is very worth it.

Those are good lights. You made a great choice going with that unit. Nice illumination at a fair price point and as you can see they pack quite a punch. Don't worry about the fox tails as far as quality goes. It will be just as good as the rest of the flower. And now you have a better idea of what distance to keep your light at moving forward, so it was a good learning experience. Keep up the good work man. Your flowers look fantastic!

They look a little deficient but like they will make it OK. I would be too worried about it unless the deficiency symptoms start to progresses fast.

Negative I am cutting them
Down Thursday or Saturday depending if the clear trichomes turn milky. But if you mean If I have in the past yes I give a good slow dry 7-10 days and then slap them in jars for about 3 weeks
They’re about 3 weeks or so from being done.

make sure your lower your ppm feed as you go futher down week 7- 9.
your fan leaves are meant to die off as the plant is using all the nutrient leaf to produce bigger buds.
You should leave it for 2 more weeks.

Or you could just feed them instead of having them cannibalizes themselves. It’s what nutrients are made for.

keep feeding up to harvest ,plants drop leaves when nearing the end of life cycle
I harvested my last plant of blue dream with no leech cycle. Full strength up to the day of the chop. Tastes great. Burns great. Smokes smooth. Just to see if there's any difference I'm running a 4 day plain water leech before the chop on my next harvest. It'll be interesting to see if there are any observable differences.
