Last minute question on Flowering

Here’s the background: I grew some seeds I’ve been collecting.. one of the seeds turned out to be Sativa dominant & now I’m in the 5th week of flowering.



In the last pic you can see that the bottom fan leaves are starting to yellow. As they yellow I do cut them off; I want to trim her somewhat but I heard that this stresses the plant. Just wanted to know is this normal or could it be a nute problem (I have been feeding her bloom nutes since her 2nd week into flowering).

And as for my 2nd seed, she turned out to be Indica dominant & is in her 5th week of flowering (though she wasn’t expected to make it cause I honestly thought she would’ve ended up being a male, so I switch 12/12 and when pistils began to form I never switch back to 18/6)

None of her leaves have yellowed (besides the single edged one but that was back in veg). My question for her is how much longer do I have on her before I can harvest? My guess is another 4 weeks..

4 weeks at the very least and I'd say more. But you will see some yellowing leaves due to less nitrogen, but that's a good thing, nitrogen in flowering es no bueno, smaller and slower bud production. They have a lot of bulking up and maturing to do so patience is your best friend right now.

Its normal, the plant just moved some mag from the bottom to the top. You can trim up the bottom quarter of the plant if you want. It would help to direct that energy to the top that would of been wasted on the bottom fluff.

You should be pinching your higher branches. It causes more resin production.

Removing the lower leaves decreases photosynthesis but as the leaves grow older they slowly yellow and fall off. Thats nothing to worry about thats just the plants reaction to flowering. It sheds old leaves and directs its energy twords bud production.

Your plant looks great. I would just keep doing what your doing.
I hope you don't pinch any branches as stated above but it's your plant.
Happy Growing!
