Sweet Deep Grapefruit, under 400w HPS with diy cool tube. Soil Grow.
Day 61 of flower. (suggested flowering time 45-50 days).
The plants have had some stresses:
For weeks 5-7 of flower they were only getting 10 hours light a night. 16 days ago I went away for a week and had a friend look after them, I think they may have been overwatered while I was away. I got back 9 days ago, and have watered them once since then - the seem to be very slow to take up any water now.
There was also one night while I was away that the lights didn't come on, so they had a 36 hour night time.
Leaves are yellowing, drying and dying from the top down. The lower parts of the plants seem very healthy. Odour is definitely not as strong as previously.
There doesn't seem to have been any progression in the buds in the past 9 days. Trichomes are all milky, but I haven't seen any amber. It seems to me that the plants have reached the end of their life cycle, though healthy growth lower down and the lack of amber trichs would suggest otherwise. You can see from the pictures that the pistils haven't receded in many places, but there is a lot of bud.
I think my two options are to cut them down now or to give them a nutrient feed. The yellowing could be a mineral deficiency, I may have flushed too early.
As I was moving one of the plants today two of the stems bent/collapsed under their own weight, so I decided to chop that one down, picture of the harvest below. The two main colas weigh 68 and 64 grams wet.
Upper leaves on this plant yellowing, leaves seem brittle, tips curling up:
Lower growth seems healthy and green
Leaves around the colas yellowing and dry
This is the plant I chopped pre chop:
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
