Help me save this plant

So I did what I shouldn't have done and I overfed my plant. Noticed way too late that I've been overfeeding, I misread the yellowings as lack of food so I made it worse. When I realized what was going on it was too late, I flushed it but didn't really do much.

It's a feminized Amnesia Haze, so sativa dominant. We're almost done with the 7th week of the flowering.

As you can see, eventho I try to cut the dying part of the leaves, it keeps spreading. Slowly and slowly it started to come to the small potent leaves around the buds. I'm afraid if I don't do something, I won't have any potent leaves left with trichomes on them :/

Obv I'm not feeding anymore for the last 8 days. But the situation doesn't improve.

Should I just harvest this sativa earlier than planned? I had in mind at least a 10 to 12 weeks of nice solid flower period. But I don't wanna keep waiting and risking to loose what I have.

Open to all suggestions, thank you!

Assuming your in soil. Flush hard with straight distilled water, then water only with 6.4-6.8 PH. Slowly begin feeding again after recovery. All the damaged leaves are toast. Remove as they die.

Too early. LOl.
In some of the buds, sugar leaves also started to die. Do you think I should harvest those stems or just try to remove the sugar leaves that started to die? Because tbh, if the sugar leaves start to die one by one, what's the point of holding on on that stem really?

You have weeks to go yet. I'd let it recover. Those sugars will rub right off in time. Only chop if dead. But my opinion is all. Your plant. And you sound defeated all ready.

It’s definitely not ready but honestly, I can’t see it getting better.
Or lasting the minimum 3 weeks you got left.
We live and learn.
I’d get the next grow started while you decide.

There's enough green left to carry on at least a week if you flush now. If you chop now, the results will be poor enough that you'll wish you hadn't.

I appreciate any more time will feel wasted on this grow, but would you rather let it go and spend 3 weeks to get a less than optimal harvest, or chop it and write off the 7 weeks you've already spent on it?

Did you up the potassium when you thought you were underfeeding? looks a bit like K deficiency.

You need less nitrogen and calcium and more potassium when you hit flower. If you just upped the base nutes you might have thought you were burning them when you were actually lacking K

If you're diagnosis is correct then a build up of salts is probably causing nutrient lockout. If you address the nutrient lockout this will get you back on track, cutting off dead leaves will NOT stop the spread of yellowing, only correcting the issues in the medium will stop the yellow from spreading. It's got plenty of leaves to carry it a while more yet, just try to continue damage control and try to solve the problem not the symptoms.
