Yellowing leaves

Hey all
First grow. Just over 5 weeks in bloom. Growing under cfl's in soil. Buds are growing well but a couple of leaves are starting to go yellow. I am using greendream bloom nutes with npk of 2-2-6.
I have been feeding half strength but last few feeds have been at full strength. Yellowing has started over last two days. Should I just feed plain water for a while or is this even the problem. I will be going back to half strength feeds. Plant is dry before each water so dont think it's that as I use a soil moisture meter. Any help appreciated.

They're just using up the nitrogen. It's a good thing. On par for an 8 or 9 week strain. If it's longer, you can give it a tad bit of nitrogen for the next week and then back off.

They look good.
 
Leave them, they're still feeding the plant. They'll yellow the rest of the way, curl and fall off.

Stay with what you were feeding them.

The rest look healthy green and can make the 2-3 week journey to chop, though some may tell you otherwise.
 
I'll give her a feed of nitrogen tonight as I'm growing under CFL's so I think I might still be a while away. Dont want to risk it this close to the finish. I haven't even had time to start stressing about harvesting/curing yet!

Harvesting and curing is the easy part man. Haha
 
id give them some veg nutes at full strength and then resume flowering feed. You can see that you’re going to get pretty yellow on the bottom three sets of fans on each branch soon. They’re fading up more than just the bottom set.
 
Here's an update on my plant. More fan leaves are yellowing off. How do the buds look to you guys. Still feeding it full strength flower nutes. Is there anything else I should be doing. Any guesses as to how far away they are.Cheers

Ive been watering daily but only about 300mls. I have a moisture meter that reads dry 24hrs after a water. I have it in a fabric bag, an inlet and exhaust fan as well as 2 circulating fans. Temp is always around 30 degrees Celsius. If I skip a day should I give it more or stick with the 300mls. I have left it 48hrs a couple of times and leaves have curled right up. Its always bounced back with its next water. Is this stressing the plant to much?
 
Any ideas as to how far away I am from harvest looking at the latest pics. Have ordered a loupe to check for cloudy tricomes but interested to know roughly how much longer. Cheers

Week or maybe 2. Still a fair amount of pistils need to mature and buds need to swell.
 
Here's a couple of pics 6 days later. A lot of fan leaves have died right off. Others are curling down, does this suggest a problem or will they just die of as well. Haven't noticed any swelling yet, how long do they take to swell? Cheers 20190309_163953.jpg 20190309_164422.jpg
 
How's it drinking? It'll slow down the last week. Check pot weight. It still looks over/under watered.

Right now the pistils are changing nicely and will start receding as the calyxes swell, except the bottom but that's the cfls with no penetration. The top should start bulking up over the next week.
