This is my second grow and I have struggled with locking in the right amount of nutrients. She's in flower now: Week 11. I don't know if she is going to make it to where the trichomes are cloudy with some amber. She's been yellowing. Should I harvest now or continue to wait?

Little tip: reduce the light duration by an hour, so instead of 12 hours of light, just 11 hours. This gives most plants the final kick to ripen.

The yellowing is fine if you are only using plain PH'd water. Your diary has misleading info, or at least I hope so cause PH 14? It's nice to be able to check a diary and the progression of a persons grow who is having an issue. She's made it this far and looks to have been taken care of. Just don't wait if the sugar leaves start dying off. Good luck

I would give it another week, no less than five days, you still have some clear trichomes

This is part of the natural metabolism of the Cannabis …. LISTEN CAREFULLY ! Growers are being confused due to what is called "BUD PORN" . This method of growing is used for making pictures of green lush plants in full maturity for selling seeds …. But not for smoking ! This why most of the growers believe their plants are dying before the harvest window…. Just let it do her thing, she is moving her nitrogen for the flowers, this is totally normal, and it means you have given the right amount of nutrients during her life cycle.

Is that 1 big pot? Yeah just asking a bit much for one pot, at that size of canopy, if you have your metric dialed in she is probably running out of the ability to protect herself and photosynthesis due to running out of water all the time. This creates bad ec spikes from the resulting drought on a daily basis, water flow ceases/ greatly disturbed and causes massive loss of energetic efficiency. Need a pot alot bigger and more buffer, she doesn't have enough metabolic runway with which to work with each day, you are asking more than her gas tank of water will allow, destroying the electron transport chain. Defo looks hungry and starved, looks like she has started senescence protocols too early, this might be from a actual defiency but the ec spikes will also destroy bulk flow and water uptake which prevents uptake and triggers self cannabilaztion. Gluck. Bigger pot next grow or either tone down intensity of the environment.

Good morning, In my opinion, you should wait a few more days... but it always depends on the effects you're looking for.

Can always add some fertilizer to stop the deterioration of the canopy... it will not 'add minerals' to the flower material.. that is a myth. if the canopy is dying too soon, stop letting it die too soon.

I would say she's in the good to chop window but a few more days would hurt if that's what your leaning on doing, your choice

You could wait a day or 2. For the future, try out The Stash nutrients. I believe it's available to the plant faster than like a dry amendment. Looks like your in soil or coco. Besides, isn't the green chlorophyll what makes it harsh to smoke? Ideally you might want to keep it from yellowing too early, but less chlorophyll I guess 🤷‍♂️
