Phosphorus deficiency really bad should harvest take place 3 weeks early?

Hello,

Plant has a really bad phosphorous deficiency, stems purple, leaves turning yelllow, lack of bloom formula pretty much during flower. In week 6. Is it ok to flush and harvest early? There is probably no saving this plant. The fan leaves are all turning purple and yellow, the stems are all purple and also the main stem doing the same. Should it be flushed and harvested? Anyone with good advise. Yes the mess up already took place unless for sure can be saved? It's a 9 -12 week flower

6 weeks is a little to early to harvest. Are you sure the plant can't be nursed through the rest of flowering. If you chop it now it will not be good smoke.

Pull those Yellow Leafs off,No use leaving them they will be shading,if they was green i say leave them but that yellow pull them ,there doing no good.Hit them with something than will get some Nitrogeon into them ,i'm not sure its all down to phos,Perhaps something like Superthrive too or Rhizatonic.Stem Color can go Purple with out there been a Problem,A few of my strains often do it ,But to have this color to the leafs there is a major problem,Check the roots if you can see them in the bottom of the pot,If Poss check the run off too ,

I dont see a really bad phosphorous deficiency. I can see a mag deficiency maybe some nitrogen deficiency but dont start adding nitrogen now. Get some microbes in your soil working for you and some bloom nutes and with proper watering and keeping it stress free, you should make it to the end without to much difficulty.

I have plants that look way, way worse than yours im going to run till the end. Ive given up on having a killer grow but I haven't given up on getting some killer shit. My strain is gsc and Im not going to grow it again.
