New Grower White Widow Auto Flower Grow, Looking for Advice/Tips

[Slate3978]

Its Friday!!!

Since last week I have raised the trellis about 2 inches and cleaned up the leaves underneath the canopy. I left some flowers under the trellis on a couple branches because I managed to expose them to light after doing some more defoliating above the trellis.

Getting tall but nothing wants too tall and wanting to fallover yet.

I did pull off a few yellowing leaves...

Is this when I need to use some cal-mag? Today is exactly 7 weeks since germination. Each leaf came off of a different plant, the 3 that have only had bottled water the entire time. The other two have had small amounts of foxfarm trio recently with no signs of yellowing.

Any advice and tips for the final stretch is appriciated!

Quick update...

This morning I noticed the flowers starting to to change color!

Tomorrow is 8 weeks and one plant is having issues...

I took these all off of one plant, the other four show no signs of this. Again this plant is in Fox Farm Ocean Forrest, topped off after 4 weeks, and bottled water. I haven't pd tested anything. is this normal at this stage, with at least 2 weeks to go I shouldn't be giving it any nutrients at this point right?

The leaves by themselves don't really show much. If they're from the bottom of the plant they could be normal, in fact.

I can relate to the leaf on the far left - a couple of leaves on my Dragon Cheese two weeks from harvest look like that - after moving them from an LED to an HPS to make space. I also dumped snow all over it instead of watering it and some leaves remained covered for a couple of hours.

Can you post a picture of the plant the leaves came from?

Its Friday, we are at 8 weeks now.

I'm at 45% humidity, should I lower it anymore before harvest?

Here they are...

I'm only giving them bottled water including the middle plant which I had been giving a little Fox Farm Trio.

This is the plant that I have been seeing problems with for the last week +

I pulled these leaves off yesterday from this same plant.

Different plant, noticed yellowing about 2 days ago..

Not the best series of pics I know but they its the best I can do.

Is all of this normal? Do I need to use something to correct the problem?

 

[Slate3978]

So I picked all these leaves of my problem plant...

Again, is this really normal? Do I need to fix this? The other 3 plants show no sign of yellowing at all. 5 or 6 of the small ones came from flower sites.

That's happened to mine last couple times as well, think it's a ph issue in my case. Well water and shitty ph meter...

That being said, there's always an odd duck in the bunch thats different. If you're treating them all the same it could just be hungrier than the others? OF should have plenty nutrients from what people say but I've not used it. Maybe up the feed a bit for that plant and see how it goes. I think they all look really good otherwise :smoking:

If the plant needs to draw nutrients from the leaves i just leave them until it takes what it wants. Otherwise it will just start drawing from other leaves to get what it needs. Once the plant has taken what it can from a leaf, it will shed it. I fully used up leaf will either fall on it's own or come off with a very slight tug.

I would flush it really well, give it a day and feed it. Just saying what I would do, not whether it's the right thing. But it's worked in the past for me. Also, most times I've run into issues with a single plant not shared with the others and couldn't figure it out, I've just culled that plant.

If it wants more nutrients is it too much to top it off with more OF this late in flowering, its 8 weeks in. Or do I just give it more of the plain bottled water that I have been?

I've only been giving it bottled water this whole time, and honestly, I've never understood flushing a plant, it sounds like over watering to me, and I thought that was bad. The only nutrients it has ever had has been from the OF, is this nutrient lock out?
