What is up with my plant and its leaves?

this has a 1% nitrogen in it this is what i use, amazon has it

So GH and GHE are apparently the same company. GHE general hydroponics Europe.
I asked the seller what the npk was for the GHE calcium magnesium. The reply I got was 1.0.0
This should be fine I'm guessing.

Flushed them with pH water at a pH of 5.8
Mixing the nutes at half of what I was giving them, ppm is between 900 and 1000, changed pH from 5.3 to 5.8.
I will upload pictures when I'm not at work.
Some of the leaves still look the same, not all the leaves on the plant went this way, mostly the leaves near the top of the plant.
the plant is almost due for harvest, could it also be partly down to that ? The other plants don't have the same issue

 

[MGD420]

Ok, since Chuckeye requested some pics.
Here they are.

Looking good !

The damaged leaves will not recover but it matters not, they will be chopped/trimmed anyway.

I was thinking the exact same thing as I'm sure it's almost ready, the other 2 plants aren't quite as far on as the one that's leaves started turning dry and discoloured.
Could it be the plant cannibalising itself ?
I've read that near the end of their life cycle plants can start to cannibalise themselves.

I'm trying to get some decent pics of the trichomes to upload but the microscope doesn't do well if it's not steady.

 

[MGD420]

Ok this is about as good as I'm going to get without using a stand, half the pictures were blurry so uploading the best I had.

Most of the trichomes in the pics still look quite clear to me, im guessing when it's ready they should be milky with some Amber ?

The plant these pics were taken from is the one with the dodgy leaves.

In my rosy little world if you've done the best you can the leaves will be green right to the end ! At least that's my goal..

Still a lot of clear, as they say, "at least another week"

For my first grow I've not killed the plants, that's a good start I guess. Maybe my next grow or two might be a little more green and rosey

What colour should I look for in the trichomes for when it's ready ?

Thanks.

 

[Chuckeye]

Definitely a Very good start !

I like to wait until most of the pistols have changed color, the trichomes are milky-white and a few are amber before I harvest.
