Yellow fan Leaves- how much longer?

My fan leaves just recently turned really yellow and it's been about 8 weeks of flowering, the bottom fan leaves aren't all yellow, but about 3/4 starting top-down are yellow and the stems are really red. So I know this means the plant is using it's nutrients and it's a sign of it almost being ready to harvest, but about how much longer until harvest when this happens...it happened about 3 days ago and it's a bag seed + my first grow and i don't have any idea how long. I've been looking at trichomes, but I have trouble telling the diff between cloudy & clear. So I was just wondering usually about how much longer after the fan leaves do this, will it be ready to harvest?

This is pretty strain dependant - it sounds like you are getting close, but how close is anybody's guess. How about a couple macro shots - Makes guessing easier.

The fan leaves will only yellow at the end if it was not fed properly
Yellow means hungry, should have fed her some cal-mag or epsom salts
She would have been happy
 
yeah since it was my first grow and my setup isn't the best, she has been pretty angry throughout lol, but there wasn't too much I could do about it. Here are some pics, I just didn't post cause she's not the most beautiful plant, pretty disappointing if you ask me. But hey, everyone has to start somewhere. I have been feeding it Kgro 15-30-15 during flowering and stopped now because I thought it would be time to flush.

Your nutes at 15-30-15 is still pretty high in N. I'd lean more towards something in the 5 (ish) category for N.
