Yellow leaves near the harvest

This would be my last week of fertilizer watering. And the plant has the leaves turned to the side and with yellow spots. Sign of lack of zinc? I would start making the flush from Friday, is it recommended to start now? In about 2 weeks I will harvest (I tried to water today)

I would say your problems are more down to over feeding and growing at 24/0. All cannabis plants NEED sleep to finish their photosynthesis cycle and to have a correctly functioning metabolism. 18/6 is optimum, but it is never too late to switch to this and this may just increase the quality of your final harvest. The MYTH that it is ok to grow cannbis for weeks/months without sleep needs to be removed from history asap! A lot of metabolic processes occur during the night, so without sleep, these thing do not happen, leading to plants with messed up metabolisms - and a plant with a messed up metabolism will never produce the best quality it is capable of. For a newbie I suggest waiting until there are about 95-97% brown pistils, start your "flush" (stop all fertilizers actually) and harvest about two weeks later when there are about 98-99% brown pistils. This will give you buds with peak THC levels and moderate CBD levels, producing a well developed and well balanced high. This will also correspond to the oft quoted "10-30% amber trichomes" zone, without having to look too closely and is also very easy to understand.

Looks like over-fertilization. If you want to harvest in 2 weeks anyway, I would start flushing. When watering, if your medium dries out too often during the grow, it leads to salt build-up and the EC value rises without you noticing. And when your medium is dry, it's advisable to first moisten the surface of your medium with a bit of water and wait a bit before watering with nutrient solution; it also saves you from runoff.

So when you add nutrition you need run off to wash old nutrition out. Or it will cause havoc on ph in soil. Causing nutrition issues. Bud looks done. I would do ph water next week to 2 then harvest.

You have micro nutrition disbalance. Watering with such small run off and not colecting it in SOIL or COCO is wrong. You underwater your plants and obviously overfeed them. Plain, right ph water for 3-4 weeks, they will be ready then. Some started to foxtail because of light or too high feed with very high levels of nitrogen.

Agreed with organoman, definitely some severe nute burn on her, the twisting of the leaves is another sign of overfeeding with nutes, could also be too much wind but in this case looks like it may be more like overfeeding. I'll second that also from organoman, plants need sleep also, how would you feel being awake 24/7 ? At the end you wouldn't be as healthy if you'd slept 6 hours a night.
