Need Help... Buds looking worse

I hit 9 weeks flowering today. As you can see it's not quite there yet. But I flushed two days ago and hope to chop next week.
My concern is that the plant is looking worse and worse. The bud leafs are getting yellow and spotted. They've been doing this for a few weeks, but lately look worse.

Does it look like nute burn? Or does it look like nute deficiency? I've been feeding it the recommended African Violet Bloom nutes.
Also, will the yellowing affect the quality of smoke? I plan to trim as much as possible- the buds seem "leafy".

Thanks in advance-

ok, there really is not much you can do at this point. Even if you could figure out exactly what it is, by the time you can repair it, she will be finished.

the plant is ripening. the yellow leaves are normal. if you had really green leaves you would end up with way too much green chlorophyl that has to be broken down. i think the buds look good.

What he said. The plant is nearing the end of it's life and sucking whatever it can from those leaves, leaving them with no viable energy. I say give it that last week or so as you have planned and you will be well rewarded.

Cool. Thanks. Dig your avatar btw.
I just wasn't sure the little bud leafs should be turning yellow. I've seen the fans turn on other people grows, but not really the bud leafs.

I'd say next time give your girls (if you grow the same strain in the same soil and set up) veg ferts a little longer than you did this time, or give her a shot of N halfway through flowering. Then again I am one of the people who doesn't believe in pre harvest flushing.

did you look at the pics sir? I doubt 5% are truly amber

imo that cannot possibly get to its ideal finish time which is likely 2-4 weeks without going hermie or just turning the bud funny yellow and brownish colors.
In my early grows I couldnt choose when to chop, I just had to at some point. Thats the situation your in.

A week and a half ago you said 2 weeks. Now you say up to 4, maybe never? I'm new but I question your knowledge.
Just curious, how did you end up taking the "Want to know if your plants finished" thread from fdd. I've gone back through a lot of the pages and I really think he had a strong handle on timing.

When they look at pics and tell you how long till they are done, its just an educated guess. They will be done soon.

Study, read, watch, listen, argue etc. it does not matter. There is only ONE thing that can tell you when a plant is finished...The Plant
