Normal yellowing or deficiency? Close to harvest.

Okay guys the strain is fast and vast autoflower the breeder says it's an eight week strain well im right around eight weeks. I was going to let it go ten just to give it time to fatten up. Now I know leaves yellow towards the end but I don't know if this much yellow is normal. Some of my bottom leaves are still green yet some in the middle top and bottom are yellow. At first I thought it was a nitrogen deficiency so I added a little bit about a week ago it didn't help any. Then I figured it could be a magnesium deficiency so I added some Epsom salts still no change in the yellowing. I'm using fox farm ocean Forrest soil mixed with happy frog and the fox farm nutrient trio. My ph stays around 6 to 6.5. I check my water ph before every watering and I check the run off also. I use led lights. The light schedule has been 20/4 for its whole life. Here's the pics.

The way they look now - They could be ready now... What do the trichomes look like? Still clear or are they cloudy yet? With the time that is left till you harvest - it won't hurt the taste of the plant to avoid adding any nutrients at this time and I'm not sure the plants will be able to process the nutrients in time for it to benefit by getting bigger bud or more yield. Just my two cents worth...

I get all my buds to swell considerably in the last 10 days by flushing with "Final Phase," from Advanced Nutrienrts. One teaspoon per gallon nothing else last ten days. It strips the salt off the roots and the plants act starved for water - I end up having to water every day the last week - Amazing the way the buds start "new bud growth" on the buds themselves making them appear to swell - where in fact they are actually getting bigger.

Thanks for the reply. The trichomes are mostly cloudy but only a few Amber here and there. The main reason I was thinking it was a deficiency is because some of the bottom leaves are still green yet barely any of the top leaves are. I usually always pull early so I'm trying to not make that mistake again. I've never seen this much yellowing. I guess I will start the flush now and just let it go two more weeks and see what happens. I just don't want it dying on me.

No way will it die on you the way it is unless you poured gasoline on it. You're good to go when you decide the time is right.

Thanks for the help I was panicking lol

Sorry to bring this thread back up I was just going to ask you about the final phase. I was looking it up it seems to have change to flawless finish. Is that right or is that a different product? Everyone seems to be using it for hydro are you doing soil? Also do you only use it one time or how exactly do you use it?

I looked both of them up. Looks like they started a new line, but you can still get Final Phase online through Amazon, etc.
I don't know anything about Flawless Finish... All I know is I can't wait for the flush with Final Phase - The buds all grow some real cool new small buds on top of the existing buds!

The plants all grow right into the dirt floor. I have a feeling the roots get salted up real badly from all the nutrients I use during flowering. I have 5 gallons of it left so the plants will be flushed with Final Phase when they are done vegging. The mix calls for 1 teaspoon per gallon - Nothing else except ph the water.

Okay I'll order some now. So you use one teaspoon per gallon for every watering during the last 10 days untill harvest? Thanks again

Since I have a ton of it I'm going to flush after vegging... The main one you gotta hit is the last 10 days of the plants life - If they are slowed up in taking water they will start drinking like crazy. The plants come out with a nice clean taste.

It's on the way! The last harvest was harsh as shit probably because I didn't flush well and I use fox farm so I'm switching to General organics and final phase lol
