So I'm starting week 7 of the fox farm trio schedule. Using ocean forest in fabric 5 gal fabric pots with a mars hydro ts1000 and a 400 watt hps with wing reflector next to it in a 32x32x63 tent with 6" inline.temp and rh is 75°f and 45%rh. So I just did the final flush and the top leaves are yellowing and changing colors. I know this is normal but should I pluck them off after they turn yellow. Its jealousy an indica dominant. I look at the trichomes on all the different buds theres clear milky and amber but I'm only on day 43 of flower idk when to harvest. It seems to early at 43 days bit I'm seeing a lot of amber on the top ones. Any thoughts advice and guidance would be much appreciated. Its my first time off a bagseed and am pretty proud of myself so far and just have to finish this off right so im not too discouraged. I just received 35 fems sooo...Attached pics

Need pic of full plant but am sure it’s not ready. I would say 4 more weeks just on what day your on. I wouldn’t be flushing either

No it's not normal to flush or have a starving yellow plant at harvest.

Advice? Keep feeding it until it's really ready for harvest. GL

I'd recommend that you take the advice above and don't flush it.
7 weeks and yellowing isn't a good thing you need to feed them to keep them healthy until they're ready then you can consider your options.

I would echo this. It happened to my me this year (but outdoor). I started feeding around 50% and it swelled up, fan leaves ceased the yellowing (albeit the yellow leaves didn’t come back), and the sugar leaves started looking healthy again. I’ll make some corrections next year but agree with the reply’s here…feed it. Don’t rip those yellow leaves off either…it’s eating itself so if you take one it will just move to the next. If they become dry I pulled them.

OK so I've just seen these posts. So after flush I've been using distilled because I started to see some Amber trichomes and all the advice that I've heard says to flush throughout Harvest and then feed afterwards but people say after the last flush just use distilled. So while I've been doing this the last couple days I've actually been leaving the leaves on except for a couple big ones covering Bud sites. Now this is a purple strain and I noticed the buds and the leaves turning purple so was thinking that this is a good thing because I'm thinking of just following the schedule and taking it to the recommended 8 weeks and give or take a couple days. After the final flush Fox Farm says to keep feeding and you know what I feel like Fox Farm in the advice I'm being given is correct and I'm going to feed tomorrow morning

This is before flush and after flush with the h p s turned off in the Mars Hydro turned on so I could see the real colors I thought this was supposed to look like this

To make a long story short this is my first time in growing a plant and I decided to use everything Fox Farm bound to the soil and the trio. Now the schedule says to keep feeding after 8 weeks but then I had a lot of people telling me to flush and then not feed anymore so really I'm just confused and looking for advice

Flushing if you've got nutrient lock out is fine. You do it to remove the excess salts in the soil from the plant not taking them up. Your plants aren't locked out. They look good.

Flushing to end out your plants' last week or three though...isn't a real thing. It's a myth that lots of people follow just because. It just starves your plants before you harvest them.

Those plants look great. Keep feeding them until harvest. Don't harvest until the white pistils have all turned orange/brown.

Also I never said that anybody on this thread told me to flush. , everyone on this thread said not to flush but I did anyways cuz I don't know who's right who's wrong or if there is a right or wrong and I'm open to everybody's advice and that's where I get confused get

The 'flush' never made sense to me...you can't remove nutrients from a plant once they've taken them up. Then I happened here to this forum and noticed that the guys who have grown the longest and who have really amazing looking grows and also have either big rooms or are pro...all say not to flush. I'll heed that kind of knowledge pool.

I believe all of you are correct. So I'm in the middle of week 7 and we'll just continue to feed with the schedule and Cal Mag in between I've been using distilled the whole grow but have had the pH at 6.5 the entire time I don't think I did too much harm just yet or am I wrong about this too
