week 10 ALL leaves turning yellow and dying off. no amber trichs. should i harvest??

hi guys, tomorrow it will be week 10 for my first indoor baby. i have been flushing for a week and its been a week since the first yellow leaves starte to show up. now a lot of them are dying off including leaves coming out of the buds.
for her whole life she has been really healthy except for weeks 4-5 during which she had a drought, my ingenious automated watering system based on gravitation failed, or as i see it possible sabotage since still skrews dont turn themselfs. anyway she recovered well and produced a decent amount of buds. before leaving she was still growing so i had to tie her branches to the growspace and s bend the main stem to prevent her from growing into the light.
a week ago, mabye a bit more, i started flushing and feeding molasses and all the levaes started to turn yello, and dye off.
i have been checking the trichs with the best equipment i could get, a 3x magnifying glass, with which i can sort of dystinguish what seem to be a lot of cloudy trichs and a few clear ones. apparently not one amber.
the dryed calyx concentration varyes according to each bud but overall i'd say 50-50.
yesterday i fed her molasses with a bit of nutrients and today she looks a little bit greener.
is there anything i can do?
should i crop her in a week?

keep checking them. then depending on how heavy hitting you want it judge by the amount of trichs turning amber. more amber is more couch lock. so its now down to your own preference.
 
Are those leaves dying randomly or is it starting from the lower leaves whether it is a fan or bud? Mines were dying starting from very bottom when she was about 4 weeks into flowering so i flushed her and cut the nutes. She has lost a set of fan leave but nothing more. Now she is about 9 weeks into flower and i just give her plain water since the first month of flowering, i havent encounter any kind of deficiencies. yet.

yea leaves dying off it normal. it thrives for food at the end of its cycle and pushes out more enegry. it will amber very soon. but if your actually bud is yellow not sure what that is.
 
not much insight to offer but a 3x is useless for identifying trichs,

I got a 30x and 60x in one, when i use 30 x they all look clear but under 60x some are cloudy and some are amber,

under 3x it is basically like looking close up with the naked eye

peace
 
I know it's a good idea mate but i'd flush it for 2 weeks just to get rid of that shitty taste. Trust me you will tast the diffrence bro

I would get some type of organic fertilizer and feed her with that. You don't have to worry about flushing that out. Despite "popular" belief plants need nutrients from seed to harvest, but you can get away with not using any if you're 1 week away from harvesting. I wouldn't of flushed until you saw amber triches either. Yellowing near the end of it's life is normal, but it usually goes bottom to top. If you have yellow buds it's something you need to fix. Also I can't see your pics. Get a 60x-100x microscope, 3x won't be any use.
