37 days into flowering, lower 5 branches turning lighter green, twoards yellow

trizack · Oct 28, 2009

help!

so i'm on my first grow almost to harvest,

i have been using soil and 1/3 nut solution, molases during flowering, Temperature has been constant between 77-80ish, everything else is exactly the same throughout the whole grow.

i have been tying down the main stem, and also the side branches as they get too tall.

now the bottom say 5 branches (which have some of my best buds) are starting to turn lighter green, and it looks like they are gonna go yellow soon.

what do i do? if they turn yellow, will they be garbage to harvest? like should i harvest the lower branches early? i really wanted to wait full term but the lower 5 branches have such big buds, i'm afraid to ruin them.

on schedule to start flush next week sometime.

i included pictures, i hope the color differences came out, the left side of the plant, green and healthy, right side and back is what i am worried about
thanks!!

They are deficient in nutrients. Bump up the amount of food you are giving them to at 1/2-3/4 dose of it. You are only 37 days in that is 5 weeks, they need at least 8 weeks of total flower time. Feed them a good one for 2 more weeks and then go into your flushing time. They need at least enough nutrients to take them home.

It is completely normal to get the yellowing 4-5 weeks along. It means that the plant is using up the nitrogen that it has stored in the leaves. Flowering nutes have less nitrogen than vegging nutes.

excellent, than you again. as this is my first grow that will actually make it to harvest, i'm rather paranoid about every little thing haha.

i must look in the box 15-20 times a day to check on them

i added my 30-10-10 mix of vegging nuts into the mix yesterday, i think they are looking better already, but we will see in the next few days
