Yep. Those are tired old fan leaves, pinch them off. At this time of the year, actually more important to keep rotting leaves away from the stems than hanging on to all the green leaves. As I said, they're spending their chlorophyll because it's the end of the growing season.

2 teaspoons is a good place to start, but build up (I feed weekly) to 2 tablespoons/gallon. It's organic, more or less, so probably won't burn your plants anyway, but no harm in diluting and then increasing. Don't know how much time you have left before harvest, but I'd stop feeding and flush with plain water for a week or so before harvest. "Fish" fertilizer, you know... :-)

Your plants look great! Your next big challenge is mold. Focus on that challenge and pinch off yellow leaves as they pop up. If you live in a place where there is morning dew and can't cover your plants, shake them off every morning. Haven't tried it later in the season, but I'm really impressed with Serenade for powdery mildew (organic...another bacteria eats mold)and will try that first for stem mold and other pre-harvest mildew issues, but a neighbor said a weak bleach solution also works well for stem mold/rot. As I said, major culprit of step rot is yellowing leaves rotting, at least up here in the Pacific North Wet (not so much this year so far!).

Also, always pinch the leaves off where the stem attaches to the branch. If you pinch the leaf and leave the stem, it will wilt and be a potential mold spot. It's the little things that trip you up.

Here's a picture of my (legal) grow taken September 8. You can see the leaves on the trees as well as the leaves on my plants turning yellow and red. All part of nature's plan.

For general info, here in the PNW, pays big dividends to prune like a rose bush (prune all ingrowing stems, leave only outward growing). Really cuts down on mold.

How come they look like shit? Small, skinny? Somethings not right? Are they in a " shady" spot? Am I the only one that thinks this plant should be 3-5 times the size it is now?? Hmmmmm....Good luck bro!

I personally couldn't even venture to guess a potential yield. She still has a long way to go. A few grams would be a good start point.

*Edit* -> The last pics look like there is a fair amount of moisture present, keep an eye out for mould in the coming weeks. I'm currently fighting a battle with bud rot and it's really disheartening. I cut out about 3-4grams of dry wieght out of my buds last night :cry:

forecast shows rain the rest of the week so i think i might cut down the two main branches tonight or this week and see if the little buds can grow a bit more before i chop the entire thing PIcs haaaash 093.jpghaaaash 094.jpghaaaash 095.jpghaaaash 096.jpghaaaash 097.jpghaaaash 098.jpg

you planted in native soil with no nutes in partial shade. that is what's wrong with your leaves. plus some normal yellowing of flower. next time..............dig a BIG hole, fill it with rabbit shit and bone meal. or what amending you desire.

Thanks for the respose...I think I might go cut a branch tonight just to make sure I get something out of the grow even though they don't look fully done
