I'm starting to see some yellow leaves on some of my plants. I'm unsure of most of the exact strains but the short two are some sort of auto flowering strains which flowered about 4 to 6 weeks in and the taller ones just started flowering a week or so ago. Any ideas on why the yellowing is happening? Should I just prune the yellow leaves and any advice on how much longer should I wait to harvest on the short plants, they've been flowering for about 6 weeks now and a week ago started to have most of its pistils turn red. Thanks in advance for any advice!

It could be the natural fade to show they are ripening

Thanks for the advice! I had been giving it some fertilizer but had stopped about a week ago. I'll start giving it some more slowly. Below is the fertilizer I am using but open to any suggestions on alternatives.

As for the smaller plants they don't seem to be yellowing as much as they are just fading so I think they are probably getting ready to harvest. I gave it some more fertilizer one last time but I think they should be flushed and harvested in a week or 2?

The plants in flower look like a sativa which probably means at least 9 weeks flower maybe 10 or 11.
I've never grown autoflowers but I'm assuming the flower time is the same.

Are you saying that sativa are usually done after 9 to 11 weeks or they flower for 9 to 11 weeks before they're done? Thanks!
