Is "Keep 'Em Green" Throughout Flower Best?

[Milovan1]

Do you think "keep 'em green all the way throughout the entire flowering stage till harvest" is the best way to go or is the leaf yellowing
towards the end of flower is fine?

It's normal

It really depends on where you live.... if you live where it gets cold at night... then they will start to yellow ... unless you add a crap ton of nitrogen to them but then they just end up more leafy then bud.

I flush therefore I yellow

Keep them green if you can. The struggle is hard.

Yes, this is what I thought. Try to keep all leaves green till the end because green leaves
continuously translocate nutrients to the buds thus creating bigger buds. Spent yellow leaves
are pretty much done and have nothing left to offer anymore. As we already knew, like Sevenleaves mentioned, it is natural
but maybe we can manipulate nature?

I tried and used too much nitrogen and caused fox tailing and fluffy buds. Now I flush therefore I yellow

Not sure of the logic here. Unable to keep a plant healthy till the end, so you flush now, it doesnt matter?

I've seen pics or people with MASSIVE buds both indoor and out that had all the leaves fried to a crisp. I've seen green plants with tiny buds. I've also seen it just the opposite.
If you are looking for huge buds...a lot has to do with the way you grow it and the genetics.

Yellow leaves are fine but they shouldn't be burnt and necrotic either, your plant shouldn't look sad at harvest time.
Obviously overdoing N in late flower is not healthy either. Your focus should be on plant health.

So I guess how much yellow as a percentage do you guys like by the time you cut? I am running them real lean until harvest but they finish, I'm sure it hurts my yield but they are typically clean and smooth unless the strain isn't.
