Wondering if this is ok ???

Ripper seeds Zombie Kush, day 45 of flowering, they are supposed to be ready in 55-60 days. I'm noticing some upper leaves though not at the bottom that are turning an orangey rust color, now this strain will produce purple leaves from the Bubba Kush in the genetics, is this how it start's. It seems healthy to me.

Would appreciate some feedback.

You need to add Cal-mag. There is definitely a deficiency. Otherwise she looks beautiful. Cheap source for mag is Epsom salt. Google the ratios and feed your budding girl.

Yes but is it too late ?

It's never too late to give them what they need; especially if you notice a deficiency. Plants always will tell you what they need if you know what to look for. Add 2 weeks at least to your expected harvest window; they almost never finish under 60 days; more like 75-80

Yes Richard I thought the same about the time frame windows. I especially never ever believe the Auto Flower timing as they market those as fast finishers and they are not really any faster then Photo's. However Ripper seeds is pretty spot on on their growing stats. I have Googled zombie Kush harvest via You Tube and they really do finish at 55- 65 day's according to grower's.

I did just add some Epsom salts today. Hopefully that will do the trick. Keeping my fingers crossed.

That particular Pheno under perfect conditions from clone is how they hit that 60 dayish mark, for you, me and every hobby grower in the world, always add 2ish weeks give or take a few days

I'm at day 45, do they look ok ?

other than the deficiency but, the epsoms should fix it...its still got some swell to go by the looks of it, i use a variety of factors in determining ripeness, Trichs aren't always a good indicator, density of bud and some other things, (am I broke, or out of smoke) I have a few plants I harvest earlier than others would, but that's for a specific type of taste or buzz that the end product loses...sometimes people lose out on great terps trying to squeeze those last few grams out...we all like different things though

Cal/mg epsom salts. ratio: 1 teaspoon /5ml per gal.

She has burnt tips ( slightly ) at the top and mid branches. Using FFOF, a tad bit of Big Bloom here and there and molasses < that's it nothing else. Why the slight tip burn ?

Ocean Forest is hotter than Happy Frog....i usually mix half a bag of OF to a bag of HF, then when I place them into flower i cover it with a layer of OF and it usually works pretty well. Every strain is different tho.

I'm going to try a different soil for my next grow. I had one plant die off from Toxicity form FFOF with no added nutes. Had / have Springtails and the drainage is not that great.
