Harvest soon, late flush

Sorry couldn't resist. It looks like some of the leaves on the inside of my plant that are being cannibalized because of lack of light. The other pics look like a P issue to me.

Weird cuz u have a ton of light. I was thinking a P issue also. But I don't wanna feed this one again because I probably just harvest in a week or two.

As long as the buds themselves aren't affected, you shouldn't need to worry. If you've got plenty of light and penetration, that's not the issue, but your plant cannibalizing the leaf, especially late in flower shouldn't really worry you. If a bunch of them show up suddenly, then I would worry.

Yeah I'm losing a TON of fan leaves suddenly so I'm not sure if I should just feed one last time because I don't know if it'll last another two weeks at This rate with no feedings

Best to under feed at this point than having a plant youbcant smoke. She will feed off whats in the leafs. I would give her a 2 week flush. If you are in hydro that means just water. If in soil. Give her just water when you feed. You can tank me later noob bongsmilie

You said above that the trichs look about ready and you're just waiting because you want to flush, right? I don't flush, and I honestly can't tell the difference between flushed and unflushed weed. Check the trichs again and if the balance between clear, cloudy and amber is where you want it then cut. I like what @xtsho does, cutting down on nutes in the last couple of weeks but never stopping completely, and using less nutes overall. At least that's how I understood it.

Look up immobile elements and understand why flushing and/or depriving your plant of fertilizer is broscience. The plant is not able to get everything from its leaves, many elements can only come from the xylem and can't be moved once deposited in tissue.

You need to keep the proper ratio of elements up in the root zone if you expect your plant to keep developing optimally and the last weeks are so important (otherwise we would all chop early!) With soil you may be able to stop applying fertilizer near the end but not with hydro/soilless.

Eh I was feeding water and molasses only but I ended up just feeding her nutes yesterday so we will see how she does. I'll just let her go a little longer before I chop. Should be fine. I just chopped another but this strain took a little longer than expected.
