Sugar Leaves Yellowing

Please help.

Wondering about when to harvest. My sugar leaves are turning yellow but my trichomes haven't started to amber- most are cloudy.

Strains - Bubba Kush Auto and a Haze 2 Auto
Medium - fox farm ocean forest
Light - 315 CMH
Nutrients - Green Planet Medi One, Massive, Rezin and Liquid W8
Breeder Time Estimate - 70 to 80 days
Actual Days - currently on day 88
Breeder - Dinafem

I was planning on waiting 1 or 2 more weeks (to hit day 100) in Hope's that I'll get 20-30% amber in my trichomes. All the grow diaries for these 2 strains only went 11 to 12 weeks. My worry tho is that the yellow sugar leaves are indi coating that my buds have already reached their apex and may may start to die.

Here are some better trichome pictures...

Also thought it worth pointing out that there are a lot of new white pistols in my second pic...

Pic one is the bubba kush, pic two us the haze 2.

What is the RH there? This can be an early sign of bud rot. Have you opened one of those buds to check?

ppms?
and are u still feeding?
i maybe woulda started flushing sooner and did like a 3 week flush or something if you wanted to let it go that long.

I will check humidity this eve - probably between 50 and 60 tho.

I have not opened a bud, I try not to handle them - is it advised to, and if so can you explain how and what I should be looking for?

I had thought these needed 2 more weeks so I haven't changed anything with regards to my feed schedule - water day 1, rest day 2 and 3, feed day 4, rest 2 days and repeat.

Suggest looking in the spot where the leaves look the worst. If it’s bud rot you’ll know it when you see it. Also suggest using just RO water from this point forward.

Well, it's not bud rot. I pulled the fan leaves, and did a mass flush on my soil. I'll feed ph'd water for the next few waterings and harvest next week on day 100.

Relative Humidity jumps a bit when I water them, but right now its sitting at 50 (will increase a bit do to how wet my soil is right now).

Do you guys buy into the 24-48hrs of darkness prior to chopping?
