grrrr im starting to worry about them now....i hope i get a reply by the end of the day cause i dont want to wait any longer

my water is fine, same water i've been using all along and i had dark green healthy plants up until last week....i'm not adding any nutes to thier water at all and i havnt for a while, should i be? i was told not to give them nutes when they are nearing harvest...is this a possible sign of over watering? what does that look like? its starting to spread to the plant beside it, i noticed its starting to turn yellow, and the one beside that is a lot lighter green than usual and the tips of the leaves are brown and curling...Would it be a good thing if i gave them a dose of nutes this late in flower?, its day 50....im thinking not, but i really dont want to kill them...i was going to add a bunch of new soil on top and water and hope the organic nutes in the soil would help...does anyone think this will help?

I read that yellowing plants nearing harvest is normal, but as you can see from the pics the worst plant is starting to burn, its almost like its getting nute burns, but im not giving them any...is this normal as well? my second plant is getting brown spots on the leaves...if this is nothing to worry about then fine, but the burning tells me that there is something wrong, and is it too late to fix it with proper nutes

would flushing even do anything right now? i've been watering them so long without nutes that there's probably nothing in it to flush out, its just water, and honey once in a while, anyways if i could get a reply ASAP it would be appreciated, WeedNeedy

The yellowing is normal for being 50 days into flower, the plant is using its last reserves of Nitrogen at this stage for its needs. The scorched leaves can be caused by any number of things; pH (water and soil), deficiencies (I would not advise feeding more nutrients), rootbound in its pot, amongst other things. Without knowing any of these things, it's difficult to try and make any accurate diagnosis.

You're close enough to harvest that another feeding could end up tainting the buds with a chemical aftertaste. I'd just keep watering with plain water and molasses (or honey) until the chop. Next time, if you're growing the same strain, you might want to think about continuing scheduled feedings until two weeks from harvest. Also, check the rootball after you've harvested to determine whether or not a larger pot might be needed next time around.

Take care. :jointsmile:

Those plants are extremely hungry. That's why they show those multiple-nutrient deficiencies. You need to follow a feeding schedule in future grows that allows for fertilizer up to 2 weeks before harvest, just like Mr. C said. You stopped MUCH too early, but it's too late for this go-round. How long have they been looking like that? I would have been freaking out about 2-3 weeks ago, because that level of deficiency doesn't just manifest over night...

I stopped giving nutes about 4 weeks ago for 2 reasons...the first site i read said flowering was 42-50 days for this strain, so i was expecting to have harvested by now...the second reason was that i was running out of space in my cab cause they were growing too fast and taller than i was expecting...It hasnt been too long since they started showing problems, maybe a week that i noticed the one plant starting to turn a bit lighter...3 days later some fan leaves were turning yellow, so i posted some pics and asked what was wrong, i was told it was normal this far along in flower, so i ignored it...its only been the past 3 days since the brown spots appeared and they are appearing fast and spreading

im worried i ruined my crop....i guess the important question is how will this affect my bud? how much of the potency will i lose? will the dying leaves start to spread and start killing the bud? If i continue to do nothing all three plants will be either all yellow, or have no leaves left...if this is going to ruin my bud then tell me now so i can harvest...id rather harvest early with okay bud than have my bud die or lose the potency it already has

Im dissapointed that i made it this far with very little problems, strong healthy plants the whole time, and then have them die a week before harvest, but you learn by making mistakes, at least i know for next time
