Early Harvest

[dejayou30]

I have a couple plants that are severely nitrogen deficient way too early in flower. I am on day 23, so I am not even half way through the flowering period yet and two of my plants have consumed about 70% of their large fan leaves and now the small leaves are starting to turn yellow as well. I can't seem to get anything to work to turn them around. If the plants continue to consume themselves at the current rate, I estimate they will have no leaves left by about the end of week 5 or so. If I were to harvest then, would the buds even be worth keeping or would they just not be as potent as they could have been?

well now of course the bud will be smokable and no it will not be as potent as it would be if fully ripened. a matter of things could be wrong.

I was just wondering for a "worst case scenario" kind of thing. Hopefully I can turn them around. At least now I know what to do next time so it won't happen again.

i had that problem for a while its ok as long as the bud stays green my older crops have lost nearly all their fan leaves an smaller ones by the time they where finished
try addin small amounts of nitrogen every week

i had that problem to, i threw some plant food in [these little balls ur suppose to mix with the soil] they slow release the chemicals so if you put to much in it wont burn the plants, i threw some on top [since they are already in flower] n its still healing but i've seen imporvement. [gunna love this one] before i got the plant food to help Nitrogen levels i pissed a little bit in the water i was watering my plants with and mixed it up [i stress the A LITTLE BIT part, becuz piss has HIGH Nitrogen levels, so dilute VERY WELL and let sit so the piss can break down]

The piss trick works. Never did it for indoor plants but did it all the time for outdoor plants because it did 2 things, one feed your plants, two kept the deer and other animals away from eating your plants.
