What is "tube water?" Kind of looks like a ph issue to me but I'm not a soil grower so am not sure.

[Giomarx7]

uhm tube water, well i think you guys call it tap water... it's just water that we drink at home, ph issue? kinda like how?

[Weedhound]

kinda like.....it's abnormal. The water you water your plant with should be between 6.2-6.8 in ph.....and yes, you should check it. But I could be wrong.....I grow in hydro not soil so that's why I put that link in there for you to look at. Hope it helps.

Good luck.

hmmm ok, thnx i'll try that, and one more thing, by the picture can you tell when my plants will be ready?

[Weedhound]

No...not without a better close up. MUCH closer....like pics of the resin glands. Nice plant by the way.....if you don't have much longer to go I probably wouldn't worry about the outer leaves really. Just let her finish. :)

Ps...That yellowing of your outer leaves may even be normal depending on how far into flowering the plant is. Sorry I can't be more help....just don't know anything about growing in soil.

ok, later i will post a pic of it better much closer, it smells good though, but i will put a picture so u can tell me how much time

If you are near harvesting, yellowing is fine. The plant is just using the last of the nitrogen before it dies. This is desirable because it improves the taste.

these are some pics i took, not goo quality though, took'em with my phone...well hope it can help, just wanna be sure how much more time until i must take them down :D

When he said MUCH closer, we was talking more along the lines of a microscopic view. You can buy hand held microscopes from many places including Radio Shack. You do this because you can tell what the trichomes look like and THAT is what tells you when to harvest. Good luck!

hi i took picture of one of my plants that a friend told me is nearly done, sry that the pics aren't microscopic type but i tried my best, well most of the pistels or how you call it...are brownish/red...i call this plant triple header because it has 3 tops... well any comments will be fine thnx

The pics are still too blurry, but when the crystals are starting to turn amber, the plants are ready.
That looks fine- a plant nearing harvest will show yellow lower leaves as it uses up stored nutes.
Next time, you can fertilize, and your buds will be bigger. But with fertilizer outdoors, less is more... be careful not to overapply.

hehe...thnx for the help...my first plantation was awesome, they were big buds and those were COOL:P:P :D
