Should I harvest?

The calyx are swollen well, a sign of ripeness, but the pistols that I can see are still white.

Do you have a scope to check out thrichome color?

Personally I'd let her go another week at least. I like to see more pistils change color and start to pull in. I wouldn't worry too much about the leaf color either.

Nothing's wrong. It's just fading. That's supposed to happen. When you think it's done beyond a shadow of doubt, wait a week and then harvest. You'll be way happier in the end. I think 90% of grows, including big commercial grows that feed dispensaries, are chopped early. That girl is just getting warmed up. Don't shoot your load all over her panties, dude.

If you have green, vibrant leaves at harvest, more often than not your bud is going to be harsh and take a long time to cure out to a good taste. Herb that's been allowed to ripen on a dying plant but harvested before trichome degradation starts is always the best.

I'm the wrong person to give any kind of advice on plants grown with bottled nutrients, but just looking at her I'd say water only from here to the end. A lot of other people will say there's no way to flush the salts out, so might as well feed to the end. I don't grow that way to test it out for or against and haven't in years, so anything I tell you might be outdated or just wrong.

I would imagine you just need to PH your water to 6.5 and you should be able to ride her out until the trichs turn golden. Fuck those hairs......

Then it's an ACTUAL Molybdenum deficiency. Sure leaves do that in the fall/autumn.. but contrary to popular stoner belief.. the fruit/flowers should be harvested long before the NATURAL reddening(Molybdenum release) occurs. Think Apples. Oranges. Roses... All of them don't yellow/redden until after harvest. It's an inverse reaction to the slowing of photosynthesis. You will get plenty of pot. It will smoke just fine. BUT... your yield and quality are being affected. Doesn't matter who comes in this thread and tells you otherwise. Plants reddening and purpling to the extreme is normal but not supposed to occur until after harvest. Simply put : Because red leaves cannot photosynthesize, therefore NO MORE BUD can be produced.
