I need to know if I should just take these down and dry them. This is the GG4 autoflower and we flipped to flower around July 28th. I’ve been feeding them but they started turning brown at the tips even when I fed them. How long should they be in flowering?

Yeah, looks like you've over nuted them. The leaves are very dark green (too much N) and the symptoms of toxicity/deficiency for P & K are very similar. Skip feeding for a couple/few watering cycles. The plants have a ways to go. What happened to all the fan leaves? Too much N can delay/mess with flowering time.

I watched videos on YT ppl were saying you can get rid of the lower leaves so the plant can focus on the buds!

Except they fail to mention that those fan leaves are what is supplying energy to the plant so it can grow buds. Those fan leaves are also a reservoir for nutrients that the plant can draw from in late flower. IMHO, If the fan leaves are not blocking bud sites or airflow I'd leave them alone. The small single finger leaves on the buds don't provide as much photosynthesis (i.e.,power) as the larger fan leaves.
 
Like phytoplankton said.

The plants create their own food through photosynthesis(energy). The leaves are where photosynthesis takes place. Less leaves = less photosynthesis(food/energy). Only remove leaves if they are blocking bud sites, and they can't be bent out of the way, or if there's a lot of them hindering airflow.

Don't expect very big buds, with the amount of leaves missing, and the ones that are left are mostly fried.

Wait until pistils turn brown and recede, before thinking about harvesting.

Btw, definitely over nuted. Definitely nitrogen toxicity.

What medium are you growing in? Looks like soil.
