id say that plant could go an extra week or two...(for MAXIMUM yield and potency) What nutes do you use? If i was you i would keep your plant flowering for an extra week or two,the pictures aint great as you said but the plant looks as though its no where near ready yet.Even though you may have loads of THC build up ,etc its the hairs you need to watch,be patient some strains take longer than usual,wait till all your hairs are 3qrtrs amber(not brown). Dont worry about leaves falling off,this hppens near the end of flowering but your leavesw did look as though they have been tinged around the edges ,dont know if that is a defficiency or just them naturally coming off themselves but your plant looks as though if you gave it another two weeks of nutes and then flushed b4 harvesting then i can guarantee you your buds will be danker and you will get a better yield from the plant aswell as a better smoke. Be sure to cure it good for a few weeks aswell for good smoke.Peace
overfeeding from what I can see. looks like maybe you got carried away with a feeding or 2 toward the end? do your best to flush now till harvest
The natural process is for the buds to use the nutrients stored in the leaves to create the flower and the crystals and the other good stuff. Its not unusual to see the leaves turn brown at the ends. Keep flushing and then don't water for one week before harvest. Watch for the Amber hairs to cover 2/3 of the buds before harvest. Hand held microscopes are used as well. Look in the FAQ. about harvests.
