Whole plant got lighter color. Bottom leaves today almost yellow… ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/2X/d/d6f00390cbf0bad7748876e7dfc63087ba8a860b.jpg)  
And now this one…

Maybe cause there 6-7 weeks into flower and hairs starting to turn Brown on most the lower flowers. Couple hairs on 2 main colas are brown. Almost ready to pick ?

My eye magnifying glass shows the crystal heads milky maybe couple Brown heads on that little plant with problem. Those 2 where first to flower.  
Any help would be great think you guys.

Flush… your plants are doing what they should cannibalising as they near the end of their growth and they are using the energy to finish off buds.

I don’t think they are ready I think feeding didn’t help with your ph problem much either however not being clear if you did your get a sativa high but wouldn’t be satisfied with results as they haven’t got full potency and yeild. You wanna wait until 70-90% of all white hairs turn orange (colors could very red, brown, etc) that’s when your plant will be at max potency and ready for harvest hope this helps and you should probably start flushing my friend 😉 you should flush 2 weeks prior to harvest unless In ground out doors, you can get away with flushing 5-7 days before harvest
