Nearing harvest on first time grow… is this normal?

So I believe I am most likely a week or two from harvest at my best guess. This is my first plant so I really am guessing here. Please look at pics (more text below)B5679566-06C0-4049-9A6F-A06BD6BAF055.jpeg9E0854A6-CA45-49B2-91F6-0DA2B28A8F00.jpegCFA3A3CC-A94A-47DE-9B95-A2B41C86C644.jpegand advise if the discoloration of the top fan leaves around the buds is normal. There is still a good distance (18 inches) between the plant tops and the light. Thanks
 
Update here. I have not started flushing but did water last time with just water and no nutrients. PH of soil is on target. Leaves are continuing to turn. See photo from today. Any advice on where to go with my plan for home stretch. Water with Nutrients or just water? I don’t know if these leaves are experiencing too much i or too little nutrients. Or is it just old age? Only leaves near the top are effected which makes me think maybe too little nutrients if anything. Not making it too the top of plant? Should I trim off large browning leaves?A11224DF-BA80-4B90-AD16-11556EDB5404.jpeg1195BB6F-7C31-4C9F-8279-79BFA5537FCC.jpegA37DB884-988F-4F6D-B108-1147A23CA086.jpeg

Looking good! I think the yellowing of fan leaves near the top, while everything below is still green, can be caused by too much light intensity. At least in my limited experience, like those leaves are forced to work harder and become deficient more quickly than ones that receive less light. At this point I don't think it would hurt to raise the light another 6-8" and see how they respond.

I'd say you're almost done with the "middle third" of flowering, not in the home stretch yet. If you have a feeding regimen, keep it up for at least a couple more weeks. And I wouldn't take off any fan leaves until they are totally brown and crispy, and then cut them off right at the base of the leaf, leaving the stem still attached to the branch. The plant is taking nutrients from them to send to other areas where they are needed, no sense cutting them off until they are totally spent. Good luck!

Like others have said it looks like light stress. I ran a new light this cycle and didn't give it enough respect. I'm paying for it with the same symptoms you have right now. Upper fan leaves got torched on mine and are now turning fall colors. The rest of the plant is totally fine just the upper tops. If you're able, try to get a light meter so you can get an idea of what levels are best for you. Lux meters are cheap and they'll get you close enough to be able to set the light height. You'll need to learn what different strains like, but it's a good baseline.IMG_20221002_150235874_HDR.jpg

They look hungry, abit of Molybdenum issues I can see I think, rare deficiency looks similar to nitrogen deficiency, tell tale sign is the pink, purple leaves, also yellowing
