Beginner question - Nutrient burn or just plant cannibalizing leaves?

So, my GSC Auto is 10 weeks old. I started using Humboldt's Secret Flower Stacker just over a year ago along with molasses. I started with 2ml of nutes and 1 Tbl of molasses per gallon. She's under 1 "1000 watt" vannect led light from Amazon at 10" from too of plant.
Grown in soil.

So is my plant getting burned or is it consuming the larger fan leaves now? Trichomes looked clear so far and there is continued growth.

To me it looks like it is using up the lower and older mature leaves for nutes. When my plants look like that I will up the amount of nutes, yours are so far along I wouldn't really increase that much.

Awesome thanks for the reply. That's what I was hoping.
 
Looks ok to me. Towards the end of it's life it will naturally yellow up leaves. You still have some time to go tho. Still have white pistils everywhere.

Ok cool, been trying to go by the trichomes, but those fuckers are hard to see, even with my handheld scope. They're gone as soon as you get them in focus.

Less N in flower is how it goes I was told as far as feeding.. less N = Yellowing. I wouldn't stress.

That's what I've found researching before my grow. Was giving it flower stacker nutes, but just dumped out my last gallon with it and going back to straight water. Im not sure if I should keep going with the nutes for another week at least.

How many weeks does the breeder say it takes to finish?
 
Just a slight N deficiency so it is consuming the leaves. Still looks to have a ways to go. The buds will swell way more.

just cut a tip off of a leaf close to the top of the cola with the most color (looks like maybe its has some amber) and check it on a table...

Should I stick with applying my nutes and molasses?

I would for another week or two. Looks like you still have 3-4 weeks to go. The buds will swell and get denser. Drying shrinks the buds considerably so if you harvest early you will get fluffy airy buds. I don't harvest by trichomes either. It usually leads to an early harvest. You can tell when a plant is ready to harvest just by looking at it.

Many beginners will harvest a plant that looks like this thinking it is ready. It will shrink during drying and be fluffy with subpar smoke.

When in reality it should look like this, which will retain it's nice dense structure after drying.
