Okay, shes no where near close. Another 3-4 weeks atleast. Get you a pocket microscope, Radio Shack has nice ones. Check the tricomes...when you see them turning from cloudy to amber start gettn ready. When they are 50 % amber and 50% cloudy/milky...harvest! If you pick now you wasted 5 months growing her....for nothing.....

She is requiring more of certain nutes at this point of its life because of flowering and when it doesnt get what it needs from soil it takes from the foliage. Are you feeding any nutes? If not I would recomend you do so. Everything that is happening is natural for this plant. You can make it healthier with nutes tho.

more sun (direct light) the better...
your leaves are fine...
you're worried for nothing...

Leaf yellowing is normal, that is part of the life cycle of the cannabis plant. In its native habitat, you can observe exactly the same thing in the surrounding foliage of many plant species. In fact, I never look at trichomes on outdoor plants, I look at the degree of leaf yellowing. When the top fan leaves start to yellow out, it is time to harvest for the simple reason that the plant is not going to be putting on any more weight at that point.

You cannot go on leaf yellowing to judge harvest time! What happens when a plant 4 weeks into flowering goes into lock out due to over fertilizing and starts to kill off all fan leaves, and by week 6 are all dead does that mean the flowers arw done fg2020?? I think not! Thats not the only example I can think of either I just dont feel like typing any more. Receding pistils and trich color is the best way to judge maturity.

Oh and senor is correct the more direct sunlight the better. Really helps fatten them up and more dense.

The hell you can't! I've done it many times. Nutrient lockout? Sure, if you create problems like that for yourself, then I agree, don't go by the leaf color.

More sunlight is better? Well no shit. But once that plant has effectively finished its reproductive cycle, it doesn't matter how much sunlight you give it. It's done growing, period.

EDIT: Nutrient lockout is a hydro problem. If you get nutrient lockout growing in soil, then it is time to find another profession.

Leaf yellowing is the best determinant of when an outdoor plant is "done" because all strains yellow out the same way regardless of whether they finish early or late. First the lower leaves go yellow, then the middle, and lastly the top. You can wait until the thing looks like a banana but then you are going to have narco weed due to the increased CBD content. When the top fan leaves start to yellow, that plant is DONE.

Im not here to bad mouth you believe it or not. Lets just give the guy some info a new grower can use properly. It might work for you bcuz you have done it for a while. If you tell a noob to hervest when his fan leaves turn yellow, more than likely he will pick way too early! Just saying.

First off, you're not supposed to clip the yellow leaves off. You should let them dry completely or let them fall naturally. From the look of it, looks like another month at least.
