150w Cfl, Purple d & Sour d, Flowering from Aug 29, Yellow Leaves Normal?

man, your plants are looking might ybeautiful... i wish i had a way to obtain clones... guess im gonna have to get a mother going right...lol... but anyways, yeah man, it is perfectly normal for your fan leaves to yellow... they will actually begin to get dark brown and fall off... i would leave them on until they fall off though...the leafis sorta like a battery.. its still able to produce and absorb energy and light for the plant until it is dead, just not as much of the stuff because it is not "as alive" as the pretty green ones... i, from previous experience only, feel that by pulling majority of fan leaves will actually help to dwarf your plant... not really something you should try doing with yours given you have suffecient flowering space... if you didnt, i would def say to pull the leaf now... i dont know how much of that made sense due to me being akwardly stoned after smoking spme supa sour kush and eating some time released morphine for my back... anyways, not a good combination as far as getting your brain to work right...lol... like i said mane, your plants look wonderful...

p.s. ur right... it is redirecting its energy to the buds... from here on out, itll be a fun ride... be sure to take piks everyday... even if you dont post them, you will wanna look back and watch it become a beautiful plant from beggining to end... or at least i did...

hope this post helps...

Many plants yellow on the bottom. My friend whom is a legal grow always has that happening. Eventually they will just sag, and even maybe fall off. He still got all of his bud. Don't worry about it

Hey micro, thanks a lot for the response. Really appreciate it.

I just wasn't sure if it was a sign that I was underwatering or overfeeding or something, since there's still 4-6 weeks of flowering to go. But I'll be patient. And I'll definitely keep taking pictures (maybe not every day, but every other day) and post them up.

Thanks wowshiv for the response. I'll try not to worry too much

here's what i originally wanted to do, a chronological set of pictures of each of the two plants. there are a few gaps here and there, but i think they paint a nice picture of each plant's progression...

first, the purple diesel clone, adopted 8/8 in a little 2-inch cube. transplanted the next day to what i think is a 1/2 gallon bucket that drains.

8/29 switched to 12/12


8/30 p_aug30.jpg first day of flowering (12/12)

9/9 p_sep09.jpg first signs of bud sites, very exciting


9/10 p_sep10.jpg p_sep10.x2.jpg definitely bud sites


9/11 p_sep11.jpg 2 weeks flowering, early bud


9/13 p_sep13.jpg p_sep13.x2.jpg p_sep13.x3.jpgthey grow up so fast


9/14 p_sep14.jpg p_sep14.x2.jpg


next few pictures under normal lighting, hence the bluer tint...

9/17 p_sep17.jpg p_sep17.x2.jpg nice aerial views, 10-15 solid buds


9/17 p_sep17.x3.jpg close up


this is where i'm at right now:

buds are looking great, although keeping on eye on the bottom leaves...

must be the lack of light, and probably nothing to worry about?

this took waaaay longer to do than i thought it would. holy crap.

any comments would be awesome. the sour diesel chronology will come soon...

haha you're like four weeks behind me, just wait, i thought i was nearly done but the buds just keep getting fatter and fatter, u got a bit longer to go id say but im on my first as well, given clones as well. those lower leaves dyin look like mine, i think its just lack of light penetration from florescants, youll notice where the light defficient areas are later when some buds just aren't keeping up with the higher ones, looks good, but start thinkin about ventillation now if you're worried about stink

cool feirefiz, just checked out your grow. looks amazing.

i am kind of worried about the stink on these... the problem is i can't cut any holes in the walls/ceiling/doors to create an exhaust. inside the closet where the plants are, i have a small oscillating fan and a half-open ona jar. outside, i have a once-every-9-minutes self-spraying lysol can, a large oscillating fan, and the windows open (with a bug screen).

this has been working quite well, but you're saying it's gonna get MUCH stinkier?

Your gonna be pleased with the sour d . Grew it on my last and first grow , very tasty buds very nice sativa like high.
