Fan leaves turning yellow and falling off

Well I am about 5-7weeks into flower, kinda lost track and I know you are supposed to look at the trichomes but I can't tell the difference of what is clear and what is amber but I noticed many of the big fan leaves attached to smaller popcorn buds have turned yellow and fallen off despite having plenty of direct light. Does this happen when they are finishing up? The majority of pistols are red now and there are tons of trichs....I did have to cut one cuz the stem was burned through, but the rest has to go a couple more weeks at least I think....so I was wondering about the leaves...???

since when you have no idea how long its a crap shoot, but if depending on the strain, at 6-7 weeks into flowering you could expect to see some yellowing and dying off...that has been my experience.

I actually found a calender that I guess I wrote when they started so they are at 6 weeks but could be a few days older but not much. At the time I posted the question I had forgotten I wrote it down.

Its white widdow, white widdow x ny diesel, and royal dayne x baby breath freak...I think they have a week or two more to go cuz one is starting to get bigger and I have read they swell up a couple weeks to being done to and that hasn't happened yet...except a few smaller nugs...

There´s some crazy salad going on mate:dance013:
I guess you are on the wrong section of the forum but imo 6weeks it´s a bit early for those dead fan leaves...In other hand you state that most of the pistils are red allready...so i realy dont know what´s happening with your babz...any pics to help us out helping you out?

should be no-thing to worry about, 6 week and lowest fan leaves turn yellow sounds quite normal for most of the strains i grew. sometimes its also a sativa trait but than its a general color change in all the leaves, my ssh is totally yellow/very light green since 2 weeks and has to go atleast another 2.

so don't worry too much

stay high and safe!

well im on day 47 of flower or 60 of 12/12 and some of my sugar leaves are starting to dry up and die. its weird only a couple of the inside leaves of the buds are doing this. they are coverd in crystals but the leaf is brown and basically dead? what could it be? i have mostly red hairs and only bout half or the crystals are milky. i know i have at least another week but i have never seen inside leaves die? any ideas?
