Deficiency during late flower/harvest timing

[JimmyTheC]

Hi group -

This is my first grow - I am learning A LOT!

I am in late flower and starting to show what I think is a Phosphorous deficiency (see photos). I have examined trichomes and on most buds only the tips are milky white. I've also started to observe very few that are amber at the tip also, but still, on some buds they are still about half and half clear/white tips. I started a flush (stopped adding nutrients when I water) last week, and planned on doing one more water-only watering around the coming weekend, once the soil dries out a bit more.

My questions -
1) should I be concerned about the phosphorous issue this late in the process, and
2) should the WHOLE trichome turn white? and
3) do you think I am ready to harvest or should I hold off for more definitive signs? And if the latter, what to do about the phosphorous issue?

All opinions are welcomed!

Thanks - - -

yeah.
I wouldint worry being so close ta finish about defs...

and yes.
the trich's should look milky/ amberand slitely leaning over.
look at the trich's in the top of the bud, half way down and again at the bottom.

by looking at the leave trich's, they may look amber do to light or fans.
an other thing I used ta do before getting a microscope was going buy the hairs. if there 85 ta 95% brown and curly. I think she done.
but looking at the iner bud trich's is the best bet.

they look damn yummy though.
let us know on flavour when ya cut
