Harvest? yellowing cola leaves

[IntoTheClouds]

So, i offically put these into 12/12 March 5th 2015... I got mold with them in late flower, ive been flushing for a week and a half with water and molasses no nutes. This is my first harvest and im not very good at checking trichomes but i do see cloudy and amber.

i was expecting harvest to be about May 5th (8 weeks) but maybe things were a little quicker with LED's and blooming nutes that maybe sped things up...

Anyways, the colas are starting to turn yellow-ish and its scaring me a bit, should i harvest? anyone have any good info on how i should approach this, ill harvest today if i have to or if the yellowing of the leaves near the cola are normal and i can work through it, i will do that too... HELP!

I think they look pretty tasty to me. The overwatering from the flushing could have caused the purpling I think

The yellowing leaves are normal as the plant uses the stored nutes. My question is what did you do for the mold in late flower? Mold and mildew-sides are not good to smoke.

I used this stuff from the grow shop called "PM Wash" it help slightly. And i agree, mold not good to smoke. Im going to use Doc Bud's "Bud-Washing" technique and im hoping that rids me of mold for the final product, fingers crossed...

Wait another week. You'll thank me. Don't rush at the most critical phase.
