I just have a quick question. The plants are on their 3rd day of the 12/12 timer and I have noticed (and noticed before) that the leaves closest to the bottom have a yellowish tint and starting to crimple up. The leaves towards the top look as healthy as ever though. Could this be a lighting problem? Please let me know. Thank you.

There is nothing wrong with your plants at all. Those leafs are just dieing out because your plant pritty much doesnt need them any more. Also it could be that the plant killed those leafs to consentrate on growing the buds.Even on my plants there are leafs on the bottem that are shriveling up. When those bottem leafs start getting really yellow, just pluck them off, it wont hurt the plant, if anything helps it.

Wow, thank you very much. 1st grow so not really sure. So most of the bud is towards the top then?

yes there right, check out the pics on pant problems and cures . although if you like greenage just give it a bit of feed during flowering as long as its not too close to harvest. 'tis lack of nitrogen in the leaves. but needs more other stuff in flowering high nitrogen feed for veging and lower for flowering with phosphorus etc.

What you see is a Nitrogen deficiency. WHICH IS NORMAL FOR FLOWERING.

If you were in veg, you would slam your plant with a hit of Nitro, but because you are in flowering, your plant is telling you its naturally reaching "Fall time" in its life and its focusing all its nitro remaining in old, useless leaves at the bottom into big potent buds! DO NOT add nitrogen at this point, but other then that... Your plant is just telling you its lived a REGULAR life! haha.


Enjoy and I hope for a good harvest.

just keeps it green if you like it to look nice too. the buds take the nitrogen so it must need it for that so maybe it will like a hit but not needed, the leaves no longer need nitrogen as its autumn and will die, stop nutes 2 weeks before harvest use only clear fresh water to get the chemicals out before smoking. a good hit of phosphorus is very important through flowring.

too much nitrogen can reverse the start of flowering and make the plant try to veg again... its all like .... "Oh shit... I can still be bigger and greener.... Fuck flowers!"
