what are the NPK values of the nutes you are using? Was it high in P and K? Yellow leaves is not a sign of harvest. You DO NOT want yellow leaves at all. Keep em green.

If you're rinsing the plants, you still want to watch the trichomes and harvest when more than half are cloudy/milky/not clear.
If they start turning amber, it's past peak as I understand.
It's normal for the leaves to go yellow when you are only feeding water.
Whether "rinsing" actually buys you anything seems to be regularly debated, If it's past week 8 and the trichomes are starting to cloud, I usually switch to water only because the next week they usually pass the 50% cloudy mark.
:peace:

Not true IMO.

I use super soil and if I get the amount correct the leaves change in the last 2wks of flower.
That way I know all the nutrients in the soil have been used up and its properly flushed.
The yellowing is a sign the plant is utilizing the sugars and nutrients in the fan leaves.
If its happening with more then 2.5-3wks left I would feed a little, if its within the 3wks its right on time.

Haha let me guess Hydro?
Done 15+yrs of research still do it everyday.
I'm not alone in this opinion and just like your (no yellow leaves at all) its just a opinion.
But ill tell you, I can without a doubt Taste the difference.

No hydro. No flushing. Just like my tomatoes. And trust me. I know your not alone. Feed em till the end. Don't stress them out by not feeding. They use nutes till the day you chop them. Like I said. Research or do what makes you happy.op This is where you will seperate yourself from the stupid and the educated. Letting leaves turn yellow is a good thing ? Come on do not advocate this. Bad advice. Look it up. Read about basic plant culture. And I highly highly doubt you would ever be able to tell the difference properly cured " unflushed " buds vs flushed buds. If your saying you can your being ignorant. Some people. Flush away ! Op please read more ! Many threads on this careful who you chose to listen to. Good luck and bud seriously no need to even respond flush away and have a good day

You really need to look at the tricomes. Ideally you want 10-20% amber 80-90% cloudy. You really need to flush the N out of the soil for the best smell and taste. That is why when you flush the leaves turn yellow. The plant is cannibalizing itself to get all the N it can. It takes alot of time to flush charged soil. The call is really up to you. Good luck, and Happy Harvest!
