Hi all!

I'm in the 8th week of flowering a plant from bag seed. It's a indica or indica/sativa strain.. don't know much more than that.
It's been going all well, but little over a week ago the leafs (specially on top) are starting to get spottet and brittle.
I flushed a little before that, so I have been thinking thats the reason. But is it supposed to go this bad?
Initially i thought they would go yellow from nitrogen def. But now the plant is showing both P and K def, but not much N def.

Does P and K def affect potency and final result, this late in flowering?

The trichomes are getting cloudy, only spotted a few amber (maybe 10 on the whole plant). I hope to harvest in a week or so, max.

Looks done, and I wouldn't want too much amber either. I'd also be happy with a 7 day flush, so sounds like she might be ready to KILL.

Looks very close to me, I would start to flush for ten days or so and pull her. Buds look great an you post a close up of bud only?

yea,they basically look like they are dying in the end,which they are are ,weed is an annual,only lives once in nature.....also 1500ppm is kinda high ,I find my plants look best at lower ppm,Im doing hydro,some say they go that high,but I like em around 1000 ppm,I guess if you have 6 ft trees,1500 would be fine, it depends on the strain though , they do look like they had some nute burn,but should still be good smoke
