How bad should they look?

[SamHeinous]

Ok so I'm definitely nearing the end of what I guess I'm considering my sophmore grow. My first plant I got too anxious and harvested it waaaay too early.

My current flowering plants leaves look... Frankly like they're dying. They're getting discolored, some have turned Brown and are dropping completely. It's kinda freaking me out.

By my book, they've got about two more weeks before they could conceivably be ready. I checked trichomes this morning and most are cloudy, with a few ambers here and there. But only a few.

Ugh. Are they supposed to look this wretched?

They've been flushing for a solid week so far. Ok so I shouldn't be freaking out too much then?

They're not so bad that I can't give them another week I don't think, but another two weeks miiiight be pushing it. I did check the trichs on the buds, it's just soooo hard to see! I just don't want to make the early harvesting mistake twice, especially when it looks like a much better yield than my first plant.

Don't water them anymore. The leaves are yellowing and dying cuz they are expending their energy to the buds.
And yeah, they do look kinda sad before the end, they usually do. So then you won't feel so bad by putting them out of their misery when that final haircut happens.
Buds look great!

They had had some heat stress earlier, and I thought I might be over feeding them in an attempt to perk them up. So I went ahead and skipped a feeding. Then I realized I was really close to flushing. So I'm just not feeding them anymore.

Yeah, what Canuck said!!
