Dying before harvest!

So the leaves are dying on both my plants during flowering and I’m still yet to flush them. Am I okay to leave them and I’ll still have a nice harvest? I’ve cut off ALOT of dead leaves now.

Auto Pink kush (purple buds on left) in week 8 -9L pot
Auto Alaskan purple (green buds on right) in week 9 - 4Lpot

Think my pink kush will be ready to harvest soon, maybe 2 weeks?
Alaskan purple has a little while to go.

I’m on a wet/dry cycle although the plants are completely dry after 1/2 days after watering. I feed nutes every 2nd water.
I feed 1ml biogrow, 1ml biobloom and 0.5ml in a litre of water between both plants.

Humidity and temps are 42% and 75fahrenheit.
2 oscillating fans, and exhaust fan and passive intake.
1 mars hydro LED 300w between both.

You are feeding very little of the biobloom. They recommend 4 times that at this stage.
I would try 2ml of the bloom and see if they get any better. And cut the grow by half

There is a lot we don't know...what you are growing in, how u feed.

Do not remove leaves (imo). At end of flower the plant knows just what to do and needs no help dying lol! If theres some nutrition in the leaf it keeps it until its gone.

Flushing imo is useful for some grow mediums and some growers. I would not be overly concerned with flushing as much as insuring it gets to the finish.

They are supposed to die at the end of flower, you are on track imo and shouldnt alter much.

Even for autoflowers?
For the feed today I didn’t give any Grow or cal mag as I thought it didn’t need the nitrogen.

Didnt realize that you were talking about per half liter of water. When i was using bottled nutes in soil, i used half the recommended dosage and alternated watering like you are doing. A little nitrogen doesnt hurt anything in flower, you just dont want to overdo it.

IMHO I only take those leaves that come off very easy, like when you grab a yellow leaf by the stem and gently pull down on it towards the bottom of the plant if it comes off very easy with the tiny pull then take it off or 50% dead I take them, are your pots heavy or not it looks like you may need more water I stop nutrients about 2 weeks before they are done then just plain tap water.

Although you plants look pretty nice very colorful and you should be happy with what you have done. Keep up the good work and it will pay off in the end.

Good day Bear420

Per litre I’m measuring with.
But yeah, I’m dividing the litre between both plants!
