Week 11 of flowering, leaves dying.

My plants have been flowering going on 11 weeks. Trichs still look mostly clear, some cloudy. I’m not sure why all the leaves are dying. Could use a little feedback. Not sure if I should harvest or wait another week or two. I’m looking for more of a body high. First two photos is my left plant and other two are the right plant.

Looks like it might be kinda hot in there; high temps would explain the airy bud structure and delayed development. I would go another 10-14 days and see if that hardens the colas. Seeing lots of stringy pistils; wait until these all turn orange and recede before you chop.
For your next plants consider doing some topping and LST training to help even out the canopy. Also suggest getting rid of all that undergrowth before the flip which should help push more of the plants energy to developing the top colas. How long was the plant in this container?

I’ve grown lanky plants like this. To improve phant structure I found upgrading my veg lighting helps develop tight nodal spacing. Should keep your plants from needing double netting to keep them vertical. Could also be a strain characteristic; some sativa doms just get super lanky

Yea I think it’s Pineapple Express but not 100 on that. They are just random seeds ppl give me. But I have a very powerful light and the temp is only like 70 at night and 80 during the day. Humidity is 50% been trying to lower it but unless I leave the door open it’s 50. I only topped it once so I have those tall ones I weaved through the netting, but the one plant has buds all up and down the stems. The other is more random. But I just don’t know why all the leaves dried up and died?

But overall how do u think they look. This is only my 3rd grow. But it’s getting better everytime. Especially this one because I updated to the 2,000 watt led.

I switched to this fabric pot about a week or two before I sent into flower

The leaves you have left are dying, because the rest of the leaves that would have taken the hit have been removed. Best thing to do is to learn from this grow, and take that knowledge to the next.

I didn’t remove them. They dried up and dyed off. I’m trying to find out why.

Honestly? Doesn’t look good but I’ve grown worse; thinking maybe this plant was just over fed and overvegged. Still can get some decent smoke from this plant if you are patient.
The fan leaves typically yellow off and die as a sign of maturity. Not usually the cola leaves though; just the fans with visible stems starting from the bottom up.
If you transplanted to a nice big pot just before the flip and kept temps in a comfortable range the only other explanation for those curled up cola leaves is nute burn. Are you giving them 2 part nutrients??

Yea I have the base nutrients, plus big bud, and I tried switching to overdrive after big bud, and I think that’s what gave it nute burn. Lesson learned on over feeding.
