Fan leaves yellowing? 9th week flowering

Hey there - Trixie's fan leaves are yellowing. I thought it might be from overwatering so I let her dry out as much as possibe and hoped she'd improve. She didn't. Now I'm thinking that she's probably just rootbound as all hell in her recyling tub.

Her trichs are somewhat cloudy. I would like to wait to harvest, but I'm not sure if I can - what if she keeps getting yellow and starts to die?

I also thought that maybe she is going through a regular dying-off cycle because she's done flowering.

We have houseguests so it's hard to go out and take a photo (they don't know we grow), but will try to post one later.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can give.

Thanks!

Wait! Thoe fan leave yellowing are normal man. In the last weeks of flower the plant abandons th fan leaves in favor of the little leave actualy on the buds. These little leaves can supply the flower, the buds, with more energy faster than fan leaves!

Cool, thanks! So should I expect it to happen on the other plants too? And do I still only pay attention to the trichs to gague harvest?

Yep. Veg always yellows as full maturity approaches. I like to think the buds are sucking something out of the older growth that we growers cannot duplicate, and thus, the resulting yellow, and dying, no longer really needed, leaves.
I leave them until they come off with the slightest tug.

Does the yellowing indicate a specific amount of time left till harvest and should I expect to lose those fan leaves and just have buds and their leaves?

(Sorry, it's my first grow and I'm sponging up information! )

Nah. Still gotta keep an eye on the trichs. You shouldn't lose most of them, just may lose a bunch, mostly from lower third.

thanks, both of you! +rep for ya both.
