Leave it or chop it

I’m about 6 weeks into flower and almost all of my fan leaves are yellow and falling off looks like nitrogen deficiency I’m just curious is it worth leaving it with just sugar leaves for 2 weeks or should I just chop now

Chopping early does no good IMO. You'll have a racy paranoid effect and low weight. Post some photos so people can see what's going on and try to help.
I’ll have to get photos in the morning they are small plants And all of the fan leaves are yellow I know it’s nitrogen deficiency because I messed up the nutes by mistake I’m just curious if the buds will still fatten up without fan leaves
 
I am having a similar type problem. All of my fan leaves aren't yellow yet but they are on their way to being yellow. I am also in week 6 about to start week 7. I believe I am around 40 days of flowering to be exact. My question is should I use any nitrogen at all or should I just stick with the bloom nutes or should I be thinking about beginning my flush? I've read so much that adding any nitro at this late stage of flowering is just pointless even counterproductive...that it can cause foxtailing, make her revert back to veg, or even hermi. The strain is mango and I've been using fox farms trio open sesame and beastie bloomz, but not cha ching even though i have it. Read several reviews that cha ching caused plants to hermi. The plant has been healthy and green and lush since beginning and just a few days ago the fan leaves on bottom started yellowing which I was expecting but it seems to be moving up the plant at a really fast rate and all the fan leaves seem to have went a lighter shade of green. The buds and sugar leaves look fine so far.
 
Thanks Jenko...i appreciate it. I have pics that I can post to show what it looks like. I took these on Monday and can take more when it gets light to show how it is progressing. I forgot to mention that it is outside and I really didn't use a big enough pot. This is actually my first grow all the way thru so im learning alot. Lol.

They look fine to me, remember check pots for how wet they are! If soil is wet leave them until they nearly dry then mix yer bloomer ratio and give it to them. I use bio bloomer small bottle, 4 drops per 2ltr bottle.

Yeah I've been doing the lift method to make sure I keep her in enough water since it's outside and hot sometimes. I figure im losing some water to evap and the rest she is drinking. I've been using beastie bloomz for the last two weeks and it said to feed them once a week with that so that's what I've been doing and then watering in between. Today is feeding day which is why I was wondering if I needed to add a lil bit of nitro since beastie is just p and k only no nitro. But again I have read so many things that said no nitro in late flowering. And I was wondering like Wigz if all the fan leaves yellow and fall off will the buds still fatten up with just sugar leaves on them?

In flowering i ONLY USE bio bloom/booster nothing else. Just take those leaves of if ya can. I would never water inbetween ever. Is pots are still wet let them dry a bit more them bloomer/booster.

And yes fan leaves gone it will still bloom no worries, i always take them of as they will concentrate on growing buds rather than repairing leaves, so they gotta go.
 
Yeah like I said I kinda have to keep watering it because I used to small of a pot and I didn't wanna transplant it this late into flowering so I didn't put any added stress on her. It's just one plant in one pot but the pot is probably only like a gallon. So it dries out pretty much everyday and if I don't water it at least once a day it starts showing signs of wilting. The feed im using says to only use once a week because it's so concentrated.

If soil is wet do not water yet
 
Yeah I have been taking off the yellow leaves once they get really yellow. Like if I tug on them gently and they come off I remove them. I was just worried I was gonna lose them all and wasn't sure if photosynthesis could still occur with all the fan leaves missing since they are the solar panels.

Even if my fan leaves are green i take them off all the energy goes into the buds. I need to give mine booster/bloom today i'll take pics of my plants. Old seeds small growth wasn't wasting them. Actually here some pics from yesterday.
