It's hard to tell from the pics, but it doesn't look like your leaves are dying; it looks like they are about ready to harvest. See the "snow" like effect all around your buds? Those are the trichomes that actually contain the THC. You need to look at them with a magnifyer to be able to tell if it is time to harvest.
When the trichomes ("snow") are about 1/2 white and 1/2 amber in color, and the small hairs are turning orange / brown / reddish, it is TIME TO HARVEST. You have a window of about a week, beginning when the colors change. If you wait too long, your weed will be too potent (resulting in "smoke and sleep" issues.)
Take a look at this site: http://www.weedsthatplease.com/harvest.htm
It will give you all of the details you need at this point.
Good luck. You're almost there!

those leafs are dying and they will fall off soon. if you rub em in your fingers they just crumble right?
it could be water got on em during watering and the lights burned em. you need to post some pics where we can see the full development of the buds. do you know how long they been flowering?
i had that happen but it was because a chunk got ripped off the top and then it just started drying up at the toop closest to the light.

The plant might just be sucking the N out of the fan leaves. If they're turning yellow and dying this is normal at this stage.

By the pistils they look like they're ready to be cut. Looks like your temps have been getting low on a regular basis, or you haven't been feeding with nutes for a while based on the red edges on your leafs.
Just chop her down man, you're not going to get anymore off that plant with those little CFLs anyway.

I bought her as seed as a short rider but shes not turned out as one. i satred her late in my greenhouse as they said she wud be finihsed in time. Temps got a little cold out hence the purple leaves so i brough her in and got the cfls.
