Getting a bit anxious. Plant appears to be dying, with a couple of weeks left

I guess technically she is dying, but it looks pretty bad. This is my second grow, but none of my plants have turned this yellow towards the end thus far.

The trichomes are not mostly cloud yet, the calyxs haven't really swelled, and her new white pistils appear to amassing at a rapid rate. All the while, her leaves are dying and starting to look burnt. I'll get a better pictures of the plant in the back tomorrow. She actually looks worse than the girl in the picture. I'm sure if you zoom in you can get a sense of how bad it is. They're all still fattening up, especially the top colas. maybe too close to the light? About 12" from 450w spider farmer full spectrum LED.

Ocean Forest soil with top dressed happy frog organic nutes half way through. Recharge weekly. Bat guano and worm castings 4 times during flowering. Week 10. Strains are unknown. The girl scout cookies on the other side of the tent have the same conditions and look phenomenal. Right on track. RO water throughout.

Thoughts? Cut em? Let em keep going until those trichs turn? Freak the fuck out!?!?

Ok,
1) Freak the fuck out!
2) Breathe
3) just sit back and watch her. If the leaves start to get crispy pluck them. These last few weeks, she'll stop making chlorophyll and her latent colors should show through. I had a pineapple Express who's leaves faded to almost a pink color.(the pic came out looking more purple)

I've got them in the garage in their tents with heaters. Gets cold as hell in the garage but they stay in the 70's. Mimosa turned almost black! (Very deep purple)

Damn, I hate seeing a grow turn into that junk. I see exactly what you're concerned about. Unfortunately, I have no good advice for you. I have always had difficulty fixing symptoms like this. The only few times I've fixed it was by transplanting and flushing.

Alright cool, so I don't need to worry about all the new white pistils on the top colas? I thought any defoliation, even of crispy leaves, at this stage can really stall them? While entirely acceptable in the sack, I'm assuming stalling at the very end for a cannabis plant isn't ideal.

I'll keep my eyes on the trichs. I'll also carefully pull a few of the real crispy leaves.

Thanks for all the feedback!

The flowers start sucking all the nutrients from the leaves using the rest of it's energy to put into flowering. Doesn't look that bad really.
