Hello friends! I need some opinions on whether I should go ahead and start cleansing or wait it out another week. I have a tiny THC Bomb auto from bomb seeds. She's in a very small tupperware container, so she's not very big. She measures out to be about a foot tall. Currently on day 50, and I just fed her the day before yesterday. I was originally planning on taking her to 70 days, so there would have been one more feeding before flush. But my bigger fan leaves started yellowing up a couple days before the last feeding. At first I thought about nitrogen deficiency, so I upped the nutes in the last feeding a bit since they have only a little nitrogen (1-5-6). No burns or anything with the added nutes, and then I also remembered nitrogen def usually starts from the bottom up. The little bitty fan leaves on the bottom are slightly yellowed too, so maybe there was the beginning of one. After the dose of nutes the bottom ones did not get any more yellow. (yet)

Now my biggest two sets of fan leaves are yellowing up. In the picture you will notice the bigger set has already lost almost all green, and I am attributing that to the fact to some mistakes I made earlier on that had led them to already display a bit of chlorosis. The next big set up have the claw, because earlier in the grow I tried to up the nutes too early and had a nice nitrogen toxicity! lol. They are yellowing up now. Some of the other leaves are maybe a bit lighter colored but no yellow yet under a magnifying glass.

I started flowering nutes only a couple days after she threw pistils. From what I've read around here that would put her to finish earlier than if I had kept vegging, which would put her right about the 65 days stated as her harvest timeline. This is fine with me as honestly I'm itching to get 2 Dark Devils started in some real pots.

What I want to know is if I'm reading the signs correctly here. Yellowing fan leaves, there are a few dark orange pistils on some buds, and a lot of pistils on most buds have begun turning orange from the tip down. I don't currently have anything to check the trichomes with, but if a camera flash is anything to go off of they seem fairly milky? One of my worries is that being as she is in such a small container (250ml tupperware container) that her roots might decide they're a bit crowded.

Anyway, some pics to see what you guys think!

The clawed leaves, just noticed them fading this morning when the lights came on.

The lower leaves that are pretty much dead. :P As I mentioned above these guys had some damage a couple weeks ago. So they went fast.

Tips of the pistils beginning to turn orange. A few orange ones here and there.

I would just keep chugging along, I think she needs more time for sure. Maybe 2-3 weeks. Does your camera have a macro mode? If so you may be able to take some pics in macro mode, load em on your pc and zoom in and you might be able to see the trichs well enough to make a call, but I'm sure they are still clear now. Good luck!

Ill have to check the camera out! 2 weeks is about what I was guessing but I wanted some professional input :D thanks for the advice :)
