Not Good Not Good Not Good, Need Some Answers QUICK

So this is my autoflower Short Stuff Snowryder. Going on Day 46, and this is happening to some of the leaves.

The fan leaves on the bottom and on the sides appear to be turning yellow and dieing off....

Only at day 46 this couldnt be ready for harvest yet could it? I don't have a loupe to check the trichome colour and Im kicking my nuts for that.

Ive also only been using distilled water, little over 1 cup until it starts coming out the bottom holes, and have splashed it a few times ( week 3, 4 and 5) of veg nutes at 1/4 strength.



Now here's the other problem. Its growing at a remote location where I can only go to check once/twice every week or so. My buddy waters it using my directions and amounts. So whyyy is this happening?

RELAX my brother it's the life cycle may not be ready to pick yet but certainly no need for those leaves it's using up the nitrogen in those leaves for the bud....mean's you didn't overfeed it! congradulation's my friend the end is near!!! Wishing you only the best! jack

Oh shit hahah, would it be a good idea to trim those leaves off? or let the plant do its thing, just keep watering once a week, then start flushing in a few weeks?

This is a tad more than just underfeeding and used up nitrogen, there are some serious defencies going on here

Unfortunately it is near the end, but there are some defencies here and probably a PH problem as well. Let her finish off and there is no need to cut those fan leaves.

Pro-Tip: What a plant does not want or need it will discard naturally!

regards,

it is badly over fertilized...you need to give it just water...the yellowing you expect to see at the end of a plant's life cycle is a uniform yellowing of the largest leaves...and the leaves will look weak and yellow, but no burnt...and those are burnt.

Not deficiencies...what you are seeing is an overage I promise.

This seems probable. I have not used any bloom nutes since flowering (I'm broke as shit) only had the veg nutes. Now seeing how it is near the end, probably 60 day harvest Im assuming. Or it'll be close to that, any tips on anything I could use to help the little girl out? I understand I won't have a perfect end harvest but I'd like to be able to try and save her the best I could.

I see K defencies like in the images below, and some burning.

See I cant explain how that would happen, I havent given any nutes in 2 weeks, and that was just a simple 1 cup of 10ml/4L distilled water/pro grow mix (see journal for specs cant remember) and after that only distilled water.

I know the plant starts to turn yellow and shit when its near the end, but it seems a little soon. Only 46 days on a 8-10 week harvest. Doesnt seem right. Il order myself a loupe and head back up on the 26th. Il most likely just harvest then if the colours are anything but clear. I know this isnt proper but I'm working 2 jobs now and getting the time to get down there and constantly check this thing is a pain in the ass.

Knew this was going to happen

any tips on anything I could do to help the little girl out until harvest?

Some PH'd water will be fine for the remaining two weeks or so, if you have any veg nutes a last very light feeding may help slow down the necrosis of the fan leaves.

regards,

Alright so dispite all I took the trip to eck out the plant.

May not be as bad as I thought. It looks just like the finishing stages. The side fan leaves are all being sucked dry of their power ( greening to yellow) but it seems like that around the budding sites maybe a little yellowing on the leaves but very minor. I hope it stays minor.
