looks like yours..I did find this picture of her strain, looks like foxtailing in the picture?
She's a really dark purple

Yeah, I found another couple,looks like yours..
Thanks for your reply, it's a very good analogy and explains it wellI DON'T think it is light burn, as only the leaves are affected. Light burn is an actual burn, and the leaves get crispy. LEDs tend to bleach the leaves when they get too much light, but it isn't a thermal burn. I've never used any type of finish product, and in my opinion, you won't get much more growth at all. The plant is pulling the last of it's reserves out of the larger leaves, which is why they yellow and die. Think of an Oak tree in the fall. Once the leaves start to die, there is no bringing them back as the tree has put all of it's energies into making acorns... and the leaves all turn colors as the tree does the same thing as cannabis. Obviously this is only a rough comparison, but the general idea is the same. Once you lose the green colors, most of the growing is over.
Thanks for that, very informative, makes total sense so I'm going to start to flush her next watering on Tuesday or can I just run water through her now?The colors ARE nice! At the end of flowering, photosynthesis slows to a crawl and the plant uses it's reserves... as it does, the chlorophyll that was responsible for the photosynthesis breaks down and the colors in the plant and bud that were hidden by the chlorophyll's green color, start to show thru. Many strains will have a lot of purples in them, especially if it is a little chilly at the end of flowering. The colors might develop a little more, but I don't think it's going to grow much anymore. A lot of folks confuse the leaf die-off with nutrient issues, but in my experience, the yellowing of fan leaves is pretty normal. If you aren't seeing it, then it can be a sign of too much nitrogen. A plant is done when it is done, regardless of what the breeder says. You did a good job and it's about ready. You can let it go for a few weeks, but won't see much more out of it and probably won't have any leaves. Most of my plants die off if you let them finish flowering totally... they don't re-vegg sometimes.
I'm not sure what you mean by "just water thru" as opposed to a flush... aren't they about the same? I would suspend nutrients at this point if it is done growing. If you want to flush it, I consider it unnecessary unless you are using a ton of nutrients (and even then doubtful that it helps), but by all means flush it... it isn't going to hurt anything at this late stage of the game. You have some nice looking buds, so be careful when you dry them to avoid drying to rapidly or allowing to get moldy. Cooler temps and lower humidity work well for me (I actually dry mine in a refrigerator... I can't believe how easy it is compared to regular drying, and foolproof!) with a little bit of air circulation. You done good, kid!Thanks for that, very informative, makes total sense so I'm going to start to flush her next watering on Tuesday or can I just run water through her now?
In your fridge? Interesting, do you just lay them in it?,I'm not sure what you mean by "just water thru" as opposed to a flush... aren't they about the same?

Nice looking buds, I’d say chop...I'm thinking of chopping her today, she seems to be there, also not sure I should be getting the bud sprouting what I've circled, so that's making my decision to chop her,
Am I wrong any suggestions ???
