Almost there, Will she survive?

Hi everyone

My Royal Runtz Auto has approximately 3 weeks left but the fan leaves are yellowing fast. I’ve already removed some of the lower ones. Should I continue to remove leaves? And can it make it to harvest? Appreciate any advice

She looks happy to me. The plant will start to push it's nutrients to the flowers at this stage of its life, so some of the leaves will start to change depending on it's genetics it could change to any number of colors. This is probably just the start of the fade.

Again though that plant looks great I don't think there's anything to worry about unless there's some specific leaves that really look rough you can add to the thread for more guesses.

There's a name for it. It's called senescence and its completely normal like the others have stated. Keep up the good work!

Ive got a plant which has grown similar to yours and , as an experiment i took ALL the fan leaves off just before flowering . it carried on no problems in fact its got the biggest buds i have ever grown. ive also fed it with tomatorite . from now on i am growing in soil with tomato feed and water. whenever i used coco and expensive nutrients i end up killing things

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll continue to remove the discolouring leaves and see how we go. I’ve got 3 other strains going the same way so thanks again, good to know I’m not killing them at the final phase
