The tricome are turning amber you think it still has more to do
I think it's a long way from being ready to harvest. You might find a few amber trichomes here and there but I find it hard to believe that a plant flowering for 5 weeks with nothing but white pistils is ready. But hey, what do I know. Mine look like this when I harvest. This is just shy of nine weeks.

Damn it bro that's nice I haven't been dropping the nitrogen I didn't know I was supposed to so I think I hindered the bud growth this next feeding will be low nitrogen ?

I don't drop any nitrogen. I feed nitrogen till the end. I guess it depends on what you're feeding your plant. As for bud growth your plant still has some filling out to do. The plant looks fine. Those buds will continue to put on mass. Just don't go starving them this early. That will hinder bud growth. I believe in feeding till the end and never flush. I taper off on the nutrient strength and am feeding 1/4 strength at the time of harvest. Even if you do flush it's way to early. Those plants are still packing on weight. They need to eat not starve.

I use a three part nutrient.
Part A = micronutrients
Part B = calcium nitrate
Part C = monopotassium phosphate

Part A + B for Veg
Part A + B + C for flower

So you feed nitrogen through out the whole process and it still makes leafs turn yellow ? K I will keep it going than been hearing so many different things it's my first grow . So I will try what you said it's only 38 days flower so you think it still had more to go ?

Yes, your plant still has 20+ days before you even harvest, keep feeding nutes, don't completly stop nitrogen but don't over due it, make sure you're feeding bloom nutes as well. Happy Growing!

What exact nutrients do you use? I know like Part A, Part B and Part C but what's the brand and name?

Also why do you believe in not flushing? I dont want to completely flush with tons of water but I want to stop using nutes 1.5-2 weeks before I harvest and just water regular with plain water

I don't flush because I don't believe it does anything beneficial so I don't bother with it. I also grow in coco with blumats and taper the nutes down to 1/4 strength by the time of harvest. I like to keep things as simple as possible. Simple nutrients and simple grow methods with as few steps and things to do as possible. I pull out all the stops for the environment though. Light, temperature, etc... That's where the majority of effort should be focused.

Those nutrients look pretty good, I'm currently using fox farms nutrients!

The leaves can turn yellow for a variety of reasons. These are turning because the plant is coming to the end of it's life cycle. The flowers are mature and the plant will start to die. If it had been pollinated the seeds would be maturing completing the life cycle and producing seeds for the next year. Cannabis is an annual plant with one growth cycle. You can however change that by changing the hours of light it receives. Let your plant go another few weeks until it's ready and it's leaves will start turning. The plant looks great but it's a long ways from being ready. Patience...
