Help Late bloom die off

[fwril]

So. Have some blue cheese photos that I think are about ready to harvest. Will be first harvest ever. My issue is that all the main shade leafs are starting to die off. Turning yellow and eventually just fall off the plant.

I understand that in the later stages of bloom this will happen naturally just seems rather extreme on 2 of my plants.

They are 50 days into bloom and as of now approximately 60% of the shade leafs are showing yellow or are completely yellow.

Should I give a heavy feeding of fertilizer with nitrogen in it to combat this or should I just let them die out naturally?
Photos comming soon.

How much longer is the strain supposed to go? Pics would help. But yes it natural and typically a good sign it's ready.

Supposed to be a 7-9 week strain. I started count at first signs of bud so one more week would make 7.

Will say these photos make it look alot better than it looks in person. Hard to get a good light photo. Room is dark and led lights make it impossible to take a good picture

Your leaves turning yellow is perfectly fine. They should have been taken off earlier in flowering anyway. As far as being ripe. The best way to know, and I say this again and again. Get yourself a 50+ power Jewelers Loop and check the trichomes. By just looking at your pics. I say at least 2 weeks. But I'm just guessing here.
Don't give them any nitrogen this late in blooming.

So only a couple weeks left... I usually count when I first see pistils. What nutes are you using? Most have a bit of n in them anyway. It looks natural to me from these pics. The big water leaves go first. If it was on upper younger growth or sugar leaves I'd be concerned. How are your trichs? I think you'll be okay with bloom nutes imo. But I'm sure someone else will give their pov.

Using go box. Organic nutrients. Trics are hard to see don't have a loup to look. Based on what I can see most are clear. ones on sugar leafs are just now getting cloudy

Looks good. Yellowing of the fan leaves is a normal maturation sign. I defoliate like kingfish so that none of the bud sites are shaded. Patience will be rewarded at this point, so let the plant tell you when it's ready.
