3 Weeks Left In flowering and something has gone wrong!

Well like the title of the post says i have 3 weeks left in flowering and something wierd has started happening. Most of my fan leaves are beginning to turn yellow and wilt. I'm wondering is this normal? Am i facing a problem? If their is a problem will i have to harvest early(Although i wouldnt mind harvesting early:jointsmile:)?

You're growing in soil? If so it is normal at this point....you are 4-5 weeks into flower? If you answer no to any of these questions then ignore this post..... ;)

I don't know what your problem is.
but about 2 years ago I had a plant that all the fan leafs fell off at 3 weeks of flowering. but I let it finish anyway. and it ended up growing good the end looked like this.

I flushed my plant with water mixed with 1 tbs EPSOM salt mixed with a gallon of water. and it helped keep on growing for about 2 more month.

and my wated time was well worth it in my finished yield. and that is a dense yield i ended up getting.

so I wouldn't harvest now. cuz if you harvest now then your dry yield wate and denseness would be much smaller than if you wated.

well thats my 2 cents.

Yes i'm growing in soil and yes im at week 5 of flowering lol. You got everything right but can i ask you why does this happen with soil grows and does it not happen with hydro grows.

[hydrocannabis]

oops i though you were at 3 weeks of flowering.

but I would still let it keep on flowering.

That is the plant using up stored nitrogen in the largest leaves to help make your buds better as hydrocannabis says. If you were in week 3 of flowering (also as he said) it would be more of a worry but not at the stage you are at now. This is why it was smart of you not pull the large fan leaves as some people do. ;)

I don't think you usually see it in hydro because the plant has just about every nute in the world stored to the max in them....I've had my hydro plants on nothing but RO water for 2 weeks at a time towards the end and they still stay as green as ever. :)

should i add more nitrogen or just finish up using the nutes i have been using?

[Weedhound]

No don't add more.....your plant is doing what it is supposed to be doing at this stage....too much extra nitrogen will interfere with proper budding....you're doing fine.....your plant looks great.... :thumbsup:

Plant looks fine, you'll be pleased with your result.

Lots of folks throw a handfull of Dolimite into their mix, to keep the latter flower times less acidic.
