I've been following the water feed water plan so far. Im just entering week 5 of Flowering. Im giving 5ml of Cal Mag every water and feeding cycle. Im feeding with Fox Farms Nuts at a little over half dose on my last feeding but the yellowing continues to get worse and now Im getting some spots. Im hoping this is because the plants are using all the nutrients to create buds but I have no idea as this is my first time. After the last feeding my numbers were:
Crystal: 6.2 ph 1630 PPM
Amber: 6.3 ph 1528 PPM
Raven: 6.6 ph 1200 PPM
Trixie: spilled her sample and was unable to capture more

I agree with G, finn. Your so close to the end that aside from some catastrophe I would let em ride! They do look really good for your first run, congrats.
Well done @Finn the magical bull looks legit for sure.
Your plants look amazing!!! My opinion- I would let it go a bit longer. I would let the plant fade more and keep an eye on the trichomes to monitor the % that goes amber. When a trichome turns amber, it has lost its potency and is now CBN instead of THC. Some growers like to see a certain % of amber trichomes before harvesting. I personally like to see mostly cloudy trichomes and minimal amber. Different growers have difference preferences. I'd say maybe another 7-10 days until harvest but it depends how the plant looks at that time. Have you thought about when to flush?
Using the cell phone microscope is a massive pain. Cant stay still enough.
Here are the pictures from the highest bud on each plant.

This is the best performer overall
Some trichrome pics I just took from the top buds not leaves

I dont really see any amber trichomes but again the microscope is difficult to hold still
I agree with @jcwilliams .. It looks like you are very close. The pictures make it look like most of the trichomes are cloudy with some amber but it is a little difficult to confirm. Can you take a few pics of the top buds? I'm curious to see if most of the hairs have turned from white to brown; that's another method to determine if you're close to harvest. Does it look like bud growth has stopped? When the plant gets close to harvest, the leaves will fade like yours are. I wouldn't worry since you're so close to harvest.
Or you are getting really close and the plants are doing their thing.
Yes its an autoflower. Seedbank says 75 days to harvest and I am at 63. Here are some pics of the trichromes. The look mostly clear still to me. Is there something wrong with my plants???

Autoflower ? How are the trichomes looking on the buds ? Just wondering if the plant is finishing. I am interested to know, seems like yr on point with samples.
