End of Flower-some problems

[hybridlove420]

first off: i unfortunately dont have a camera with me, but will have images on wedsday for you guys.

i have a wonderful sative thats at approximately 11-12 weeks flowering now, and is looking ready to cut. unfortunately, i dont have a lens with me, so im guestimating it.

however, its had several nutrient and white fly problems in the last 2 months, which caused the bottom half of the fan leaves to die of nitrogen burns mixed with flys.

thats been fixed, and ive been flushing it for the last week (despite using organics to flower anyways). now its looking like theres a nitrogen lack from the yellow fan leaves that remain, yet some also have burnt looking areas.

my question is: should it require any nitrogen in the last few weeks, or just some kelp and molassas?

Ps: the plant is roughly 3.1 feet and looking to yield 1-1.5oz with not too much issue.

If you are close to harvest, don't add any more N. Yellowing of the leaves is normal at that stage and more N will give a harsher flavor.

i figured as much, im just giving them pure water with light molassas dosages, and switching to pure mid week i think.

but is it normal for the non-bud site leaves to all turn yellow, shrivel, and die in the last week or two?

[stinkyattic]

shrivelling and dieing are a bit extreme... pics!! you might have something else going on. Do they get crispy-dry before falling off, or just yellow and drop?

sorry for the dalay, heres a bunch of images. keep in mind that this condition has slowly worsened over about a month now, despite recieving minimal feedings and lots of molasaass.

the plant is also white-fly infested just to piss me off.

would white-flies or too much molassas screw up the works?

damn ill say it again damn those r some fine plants i think there doin just fine

shiiiiit......if you're getting ready to harvest, don't worry about the leaves...look at them trichs and prepare to do some trimming quite soon!

oh god thank you guys soo much! as a matter of fact its a friend of mine's that i had flowered with my 600w hps for him, so he was by to check it an hour ago.

yada-yada....we decided its finished and chopped it down. about 1/3 the hairs were orangy on the plant, and the buds were starting to become afflicted by the yellowing.

its my first successful plant, and im guestimating 30-50grams off of it. its roughly 3feet, 1-2 inches with the cola being about half-way between a golf ball and tennis ball's diametre. (maybe 3 inches or so?). does my estimate sound right?

when we split it 50-50, im hoping itll allow me to put about 20g into a nice curing jar for myself until next harvest. (im currently flowering/mating this sativa (seedling) with my favorite unknown male, who is probably the most active autoflower on the block :p

You check the pH?

My plant looked like that when I wasn't checking pH levels.... :(

[hybridlove420]

not really. i began to moniter the ph of the water and nutes in the last 2 weeks, and that was around 6.4-7 roughly.

but i think it was ready. it was either today or on tuesday. and i didnt want to let it go too long, because of both overripening and because bud leaves were JUST starting to show problems

Question:

Ive given the chopped plant back to its owner (i flowered for him) and its been up to dry over the 3 day weekend.

Its now dry enough to trim by a long shot, but hes being a dick and wont trim/cure until friday or later. he plans to store the untrimmed buds in glass containers to cure none the less.

will curing untrimmed buds f- it all up? and will drying too long cause problems (beside dry weed?)
