The plants are at 68 days into flowering and 95% of the leaves have turned yellow and dying.I've just spotted the first amber trichs at the top of one plant. I want to flower them for about 2-3 weeks more but i dont want to see any yellow on the buds.Is it safe to keep them growing for that long?

Did you defoliate, or did the plant do that?

You're done BTW, chop, dry and cure.

i've just took off the very dead fan leaves,the ones that were really crispy and able to take them off just by touching them.Though the trichs say that they are not ready yet for harvest, and i am a bit confused because i was waiting for the pistils to recede or at least have a more amber ratio on the trichs

Well if you didn't defoliate (thankfully), then there was some nutrient or Ph issue causing the extreme loss of leaves. We can't tell, because we would need the l;eaves to make the diagnosis.

What were you feeding and when?

They are in biobizz all mix soil and i was feeding them with bio-grow, bio-bloom, top max, and bio-heaven, every other watering which is once a week.They started yellowing at the second week of flowering so it was probably a ph issue. I want to experiment though, with one of these plants and leave it for a bit longer,just to see how the smoke is when harvested with more amber trichomes.Thats why i ask if it is safe to leave them for longer...

Oh sure you can leave them go longer, it won't really hurt anything.

I'm thinking you had a toxic buildup of salts in the soil, ph issues and the nutes thus, became unusable to the plant.

yes, when i spotted the yellow leaves at week 2 of flowering, the grow was stunned,so i flushed.After that the plants exploded but i couldnt stop the yellowing
