how much longer till u harvest?

Ive read that its natural for the leaves to turn yellow sometimes late into flowering the plant is using all the nutes in the fan leaves and directing them to the buds, as far as the purple stems alot of strains do that, including mine, they may lack something but not enough for concern, nice looking buds :peace:

personally i wouldnt worry about it since it is so close to harvest and the new growth will be dark green.

Purple stems are reflecting red and blue light. Those are the two colors that the leaves like best for photosynthesis. To the leaves, the stems look like shiny mirrors reflecting lots of light instead of absorbing and wasting it.
