lost alot of leaves have 3 weeks to go

I have lost almost every fan leaf on the white widow.. they turned yellow with browns spots. then leaves got crunchy and fell off. The flowers are so tight could it have sucked the moisture out of the leaves?

I am so happy they are growing nicely. only 25 days to go

does anyone have any ideas as to why my poor girl looks so sad?

100% normal. the leaves are dying from the plants sucking the energy out of the leaves and putting it into the buds. along with a normal end of flowering nitrogen def., the plant looks perfectly fine to me, i dont harvest till all the fan leaves have died or are very close to all dead. the plant stores energy in them for a reason.....to use it,lol. why waste your gals efforts to store energy for when it really needs it at/towards the end of flowering?

thanks fo rputting my mind at ease. +rep.

Flowers look alittle sparse, what type and watts is the light you are using ?

using a 400 watt hps. some are 2 weeks behing the others. the first 2 will harvest together first the last 2 have until middle of may

ok guess that explains it... with the 400 HPS you should be within 12"-18" of your canopy top for best use of lumens available.

oh... and you may want to provide some type of support for your lower budding branches there boss !!

Nice work man, is this your first grow?

thanks for the advice bluedreamz. ya loky, its my first time. lol not a man tho. i'm a girl... loll

i was having the same exact problem with my first grow. glad to know its normal. 2 white widows under a 250 hps in my closet. on day 36 of flower now. +rep
