Yellow Plant

Okay, I am rounding out week 6 of flowering, and all of a sudden almost the whole damn plant is yellow. Is this what happens as it reaches maturity??? There are a lot of orange hairs, but the buds just don't look like they are ready. I can see seed pods still (I had a hermie and decided to keep it) and the top of the plant is still all white hairs. It really looks like the whole damn plant is going to turn yellow. The tips were burnt, so I backed off of nutes for a week, now I'm back on nutes and no change. I was only going to nute this week and then stop anyway because I planned to harvest in three weeks, and I heard you should stop nutes 2 weeks before harvest to expel chemicals. This is horrible, can anyone shed some light?

this is happening to a few of my plants; the whole leave is turning yellow, the veigns, every part of it.
I've heard that leaves will yellow as the plant gets closer to being ready to harvest, but literally my whole plant is yellow pale yellow, its not burnt, but just wilted yellow.

LOUNGE; I hate yellow

well like you said plants will yellow twards the end of flowering... due to the energy being sucked out of them pretty much... if its the whole plant.... then i would continue to try to eliminate X FActors... stoping nutes would make sure its not nute burn... check watering... mabe get a moisture meter........make sure all your water is properly phed and make sure that salt hasnt gathered around your nutes(stoping the uptake of nuteS) flushing would help this... ( but if overwatered it will worsen it ) make sure your nutes have "trace nutrientS", and check temps and humidity levels in your room.... this should fuigre out the problem... if not then i dont think anyone here can help you and i would just try to ride it out and get what you can

Well, you've all at least made me feel alittle better, thanks. As a newbie, pretty much everything freaked me out. I set my water/nute mix to 5.9-6.4, my temps are 64-80, humidity is 25-53%, watered every third day w 2/3 Gal. I thought everything was going perfect. Well, as perfect as growing a hermie gets. I hope I didn't waste my time with this thing, but the way I look at it, is that 80% of commercial street bud is seeded, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Does anyone have any experience with hermies?
