Harvesting time soon

So this is the first time I've done this and my plants grew in veg under MH 400w for about 6 weeks and where very healthy and skunky (2 white widows and 1 purp). I swapped them to flower and within a week they started to get some yellowing of the lower leaves so I upped the dosage of nitrogen and magnesium since I hadnt really been giving them any nutes at all before that.

They are about 5 weeks into flowering although I did slow the yellowing, it seems to be coming on in full force. Should I wait longer or just take the buds now? I can see the white widows turning white on the top bud because of all the crystals and the purp looks really good too but I don't want the quality to be effected by the dying plant. Is this normal at this stage?

i can't help... but i'll pray for you

Hey man it would be a great help if we could have some pics, ok it sounds like they weren't getting enough nitrogen, how did the yellowing turn out after you gave them some Nitrogen? If it's just some lower leafs that are yellowing it may be because they are not getting enough light. Whatever you do DONT harvest yet, give them the extra 3-4 weeks to mature, if you harvest now the weed WONT get you high and you will have wasted allot of time and patients. Again get some pics up, makes this easier lol

Peace n Pot

Can't say for sure without pics, but it's often perfectly normal for yellowing fan leaves in the latter half of flowering. Exactly what are you feeding them now, anyway? Soil or hydro?

it's supposedly normal for plants to be a little N-deprived during flowering, which would cause yellowing leaves. Not saying that this is absolutely 100% the reason, but it makes sense.

good luck

5 weeks into flowering you should definately see yellowing leaves, as long as it is only the fan leaves (the big ones that are all alone). if it is the whole plant, well probably either a nute problem or it is root bound (if in small container)

Pics would help
