hey this is my second thread now about my grow. the first thread iv had loads of help about getting this far and now over the last 2 weeks the leaves on my plants are going yellow. im growing in an aerogarden and these 4 plants have been in flowering for about 6 weeks and by looking at the buds they will be ready in a couple of weeks. but iv hit a massive problem.... the leaves are turning yellow all over the plants. even the little leaves that are on the heads??? im only new at it so i have maintainred the ph at 6.4 and i flushed the water and stopped using fertilizer coz i was told to stop around 2 weeks before harvest. so can anyone tell me what this could be. could they be burnt? or a deficiancy? iv posted some pics of the plants and of the light im using. im in a rush 4 time to work it out or i was thinking of pulling them before they die lol bongsmilie

if you are already 6 weeks in and now flushing with plain water then the leaves are probly just losing color beacause of no nutes being fed and they are using up the last of what was stored in the leaves. its normal for leaves to change color at the end of flower cycle.:eyesmoke:

What he said. They're looking nice but I'd hate to see how cramped that res is with roots. 4 mature plants in 3 litres of water is a dangerous combo! How have your guys been handling the heat?

well iv actually only just flushed the resi and i only just stopped using nutes. i flushed it 2 days ago and the yellowing got this bad a week ago??? so could it still be that the plant is just using up all its nutes? the plants used to look really healthy before this and they have even started to get little brown dots as u can see in the pics. i was thinking maybe i over fertilized the plants and they have just shown it by looking like they do??? lol yeah in aus its getting pretty hot already and its only spring. this is australias time for outdoor plants. but my plants have been loving the heat. they smell so much more lol. u can smell them little plants up my hall way lol. also how can i tell if my plants are ready to harvest? and also should i pull the plants early if they dont get better?
