I ended up chopping on Day 80. I removed the big fan leaves and then chopped both plants. Hung both plants upside down in grow tent. Home humidity was 40% so I added a humidifier with distilled water in the grow tent. The plants dried at 68 degrees Fahrenheit and 57% humidity for 5.5 days and then I trimmed them and bagged them both. Lefty yielded 128 grams and Righty yielded 200 grams. About 11.5 oz in total for my first grow so I am very pleased!

Anyone have any ideas about how to get the left plant to stretch? Or at this point do I just need to accept the left plant won't stretch much and just try to keep the left plant raised on a bucket?
First of all, the white balance in your photos is never the same, which makes it difficult to appreciate the discolouration of your leaves.
And, to me, it looks like a generalised deficiency, so you either have too much salt in the soil, which is blocking the plant's uptake of nutrients, or you haven't applied enough fertiliser (which the rates shown on your diary, which are lower than those recommended by the manufacturers, tend to confirm).
Get a little microscope or mag.glass to see if clear or cloudy or some amber in them (trichomes) I always go for milky/amber but more depends what you prefer,and from what i see from the photos the time to chop will come very soon +- 2 weeks .
I agree with Berry.
Hold off. Find the symptom that the affected leafs show. Fix and wait a few days. If the leafs that drew u to the issue are not any worse. Than you've fixed the issue
But, even a leaf with symptoms, once fixed, it is still a productive leaf. So, all in all. Id only remove if they're really bad or you want to check has your issue been solved.
Hello my friend, you can cut the leaves that show deficiencies of but you first need to make sure that it does not get worse. When you cut the leaves off before you solved the problem then the deficiencies will simply move on to other leaves. When you found the reason and your plant does not show new signs from deficiencies tgen you can cut those leaves off to prevent rotting.
Because you are really close to harvest I would let them all for what it is and when you trim for harvest just make sure that you cut away all the death leaves in between the buds. The fan leaves are not a problem in your case, but the sugar leaves are. You want to cut them when they are damaged and show deficiencies before drying!
Merry Cristmas buddy! 💚
I’d say you want to find the reason they are yellowing up and dieing, but this might be end of life fade with some burning from overfeeding. So its not real important as your going to harvest soon.
If they have any green in them, leave em. If they dead pluck em out, they should not have much resistance like a green leaf does. If they still alive and you pluck a lot out, it might add undo stress to the plant and sometimes extra stress can complicate things.
IMO: i’d leave it all alone n do a plucking before chop n dry just to clean it up a bit.
Best Of Luck!
