Question about harvesting

Asked a question about harvesting a few days ago and was told I flushed too early and that I have about 8 days . Been flushing about 2 weeks in co co coir and also did some research and read that I should harvest once the sugar leaves start to turn yellow to harvest. Any advice ?

Judge the maturity based on trichome colour, not leaf colour. Pistil colour is closely associated to trichome maturity/colour. These pictures tell a different story compared to your last question and I would say that you could harvest now, as the flushing has basically caused the death of the leaves, meaning there would be very little photosynthesis going on, meaning the plant won't do anything much any more, just slowly degrade from this point onwards.

I had an auto pineapple express that I did the same thing to all the leaves fell off even the sugar leaves. I left it in for another week with just the buds and it turned out fine as long as you were watering you should be OK, but just keep an eye on it because when it does start to finish, it’s gonna go fast

I don't think the problem on your plant is about the flush. Many says that flush is useless and there are scientific proof of that BUT leaving your plant without nutes in the last days should stress her to produce more rosin and is also a money save. I run hydro and I've flushed for even 2 weeks and I never saw results like that , so in my opinion your problem is different (e.g. too much pH fluctuations, overfeeding, deficencies...) . My advice here is to harvest now. Good Luck !

Don't flush bro it's a myth , why would you starve a plant when she needs it most. Big Flowers requires lots of food. Feed her till shes done, I usually stop feeding the last week simply because there still enough left in the soil but I don't do run off watering at this point just enough the wet the whole medium.

Because you stopped feeding to early is why she looks like that, I can't see those leaves working anymore so might be best to harvest now.

My advice? Get a magnifying glass or jewelers lope and learn to judge it off the trichomes. All other methods of judging ripening is dodgy at best. All your pics really tells us is your leaves are dying. If you let the buds get crispy its only gonna be good for extracts or edibles.
