New Grower Short rider at day 49 and some questions.

[Ej8_Kid]

I replaced the cfl's for a mars hydro 140w led, its been a few days under that light and i think the plant is enjoying the change in growing container and grow light. my temps are way much cooler too.

The strain is a short rider from nirvana and this is day 49 from seed. The yellowing of the bottom fan leaves happen in a matter of a few hours, left for work in the morning, came back to this.
i'm not sure if its some kind of deficiency or is this normal for a plant at this stage?

Can you give a run down on what your doing as far as soil, nutes, supplements, water, etc

looks normal to me bro, they do that about that age, especially if it doesn't need its lower leaves and wants to concentrate more on new growth in the upper regions, it will devour its own leaves starting with the lower ones.
but,. providing a complete run down would be more of a fail safe option so all possible causes could be covered.

I have done this strain many times and when those lowers yellow I just pinch them off with my thumb nail.. is your soil dry?

It's growing in fox farm's happy frog with around 30% perlite. It suffered from over watering when it was a seedling but it recuperated well considering this is my first grow. I have been feeding fox farm trio with every other watering at 6.5ph after mixing the nutes.

No. not at all man, I watered it with plain ph 6.5 water yesterday so it's still pretty moist.

Then it is just what this strain and a lot of others do at this age..pinch it off and let the energy go elsewhere

Lookin' good! As with any plant, a sudden change in light quality or intensity may bring on a pretty swift drop of older leaves. The plant can strip the chlorophyll out of the chloroplasts and convert it to starches as a means of energy recovery and transference. This is also typical during late flower, as she is reassigning the nutrients to her reproductive organs.

Do you have CalMag supplements for your nutes mix???

 

[Ej8_Kid]

I am lost on this step, im not entirely sure as to when to harvest. I bought a 60x pocket microscope but how to do look at the thrics? Do i pluck one of the pistils out?

How long do you guys think she'll keep flowering?

 

[Ripper]

turn your lights off then put that microscope right on the buds and leaves closest to it... tell me are they clear cloudy and are there any ambers?
