yea when it comes to flowering it normal for the plant to lose and get a bit of yellow leaves. cut back on the nitrogen during flowering and get a potasium/phosphorous (NPK) based fert i suggest an organic one to you tend to get a less of a harsher taste and better bud

If you guys have not fertilized your plants yet I would blast them with a bllom booster and they will explode!

yeah, I would recommend nutes, the plant needs to eat man, think about what happens to anorexics they get all thin and scraggly... on my first grow the only nutes used were molasses and mg potting soil. now I opt for liquid ferts, look for npk like dude said, and use some molasses too. or don't, but if you do, your plants brain and lungs will thank you.

Start out slow and see how the plant reacts. If it liked it and no burn then work the doseage up.

Dude! I would recommend organics in your arsenal with molasses and a organic micronutrient and Micorhizzal and hizzae benificial bacteria tea worked in between. Never any granulated or crystalized stuff just mixins and bubbled teas! You won't need to flush(but I do anyways) and right when you hit maturity the fan leaves should be the same hues as autumn leaves. Yellows, oranges, purples, and even pink and reddish hues. This takes practice though. Right now my lower plant fan leaves are dropping right on time and the buds are pushing out super amounts of calyxes and pistils galore and they are still a month to finish or so.The only thing non-organic is a touch of Superthrive at a few crucial points in plant development.

Its like his first plant. I dnt think he wants a complicated way of doing it. He is keeping it simple.

Hahaha not yet. Still to small i think to even sample but as soon as one of those little ones gets a little bigger hell ya im going to sample it. Im going to try to get some pictures up. So just a quick run through, hang it upsidedown to dry in a dark place for 3 - 5 days and then to cure it put it in a jar? Thanks for all your help so far
