Can I chop this? It’s so yellow!

Mostly cloudy, I think? No amber for certain, but I’m fine with that.

Started flushing about two weeks ago and the leaves immediately started yellowing in earnest. No real training, just spreading branches.

I’ve had some stress-related issues with this one (this plant grew a few nanners early on) and it has a bunch of odd, new growth on the top cola. It keeps pushing out new pistils. See below.

Here’s a pic of a lower bud site, since the top cola is the most affected by the stress.

Between all the issues I’ve had and the fact that I now have sugar leaves turning yellow, I’m about ready to call it regardless, but just hoping for a second opinion.

Thanks so much!

I wouldn’t chop it because it has yellow leaves. yellow leaves are common at the end of the life cycle of the plant. It’s using up all its resources.

Chopping at too early will give you that speedy head rush headache weed. I would at least let it turn all cloudy and get a few Amber before chomping to avoid that nasty Head Rush weed.

The new white pistols look like it’s slightly foxtailing. That’s not going to hurt nothing it’s just more weed. You can back your light off they say (I don’t buy that) to fix the foxtailing.

She’s close man let her finish you went this far

She’s pretty, but when I zoom in I still see clear trichombs. You can chop anytime you like, but I believe she isn’t ready yet.

Yellow leaves are fine at this stage. Plant is using them. I would guess a couple more weeks but hard to say.

I think shes got several weeks left…i might give her another lite feeding or two personally. The pistils will darken, curl up and recede back into the calyx as she matures. You’ve got some brown pistils but they are pretty newly brown to my eye.

The real test is trichomes. I still see a lot of clear trichomes but I’d start checking her every few days at this point. Theres no perfect harvest day…rather a harvest window of about 2 weeks.

If you harvest too early you’ll have speedy headache flower as @Lostgirl mentions. Or even worse you’ll have weed that gives you a great buzz but for about 5 min…then nothing.
