Help me learn from this mistake.

I'm not sure what happened to this plant. Today is day 50 of flower on a 15" tall random bag seed indica dom. The problem started on day 45-46, just a few days ago, and has progressed to the point of almost all the fan leaves dying. I know it's only a week before the plant should be done but I wanted to reveg it so the loss of all the fan leaves sucks.

-Soil = MG seed starting in 1g pot.
-Light = 110w 10k lumen T5HO with one 6400k bulb and one 3000k bulb, previously 104w of 2700k cfl.
Nutes = Humboldt Oneness (5-9-4) at 1tsp/g (last application a week ago), Botanicare Hydroplex (0-10-6) at 1tsp/g, EarthJuice MicroBlast at 1tsp/g every two weeks, and Brer Rabbit molassas at 1tbsp/g.
Water = 7pH (drops, no digi meters of any kind) tap water left to sit for at least 48 hours, pH always measured after nutes are added.
Temps = mid 60s to mid 80s (f).
rH = Usually in the 50% range.

I hope that's enough info, if not please ask and I give you what I can. It almost looks like overwatering but I only water when the pots feel light.

The pictures are shots of opposite sides of the plant, one of the worse leaves, and a closeup of the cola.

Another question, it looks like I should be able to harvest any time I want, should I harvest in the next day or two or let it go until 56 days?

I've always observed that in plants as they reach the end of their life cycle (ie: fall) but the big dogs here say they keep their leaves green until harvest.

Looks overfertilized...

Them leaves shouldn't look like that at this stage.

Yellow leaves maybe, but not dried out crumbly leaves..

You may wanna look over your nute schedule.

Good luck :)
 
Overfeeding. I hadn't considered that. I just watered it with Hydroplex (3ml/g) and molasses on Sat (27th). The nutes in the soil (5-1-5) should be long gone. Would flushing the soil be worthwhile at this point or should I just harvest and toss the plant? I'm hoping I can still reveg it like a rose bush that got trimmed all the way back.
 
you could flush it but looks a bit past that. You could harvest and deal with what you have before it progresses past that stage and its a total loss. As for revegging i never did that i deal with clones so always a supply around. Good luck you can reveg tho just leave a little of the lowers and switch the cycle to 18/6 it will take a while to re start the veg cycle if it will at all
