Week 7 yellowing...normal?

[kevin7kevin7]

so i turned my lights to 12/12 oct 1, and the plant was doing really well up until the last week the lower leaves have been drooping and yellowing. the big fan leaves are still soft and arent falling off...yet atleast. I know i have a bug problem already haha i'm in a frat and its dirty as fuck i've been trying my best haha. But does it lookk like yellowing from the bugs over time? or is it normal nitrogen deficiency? thanks

Buddy, @ week 7 your flowers look a little on the light side.... :eek:
However, as long as your flower time is a 9 week deal, then yellowing of the lower leaves is normal. :thumbsup: Keep in mind, this occurs in the last 2-3 weeks once you have stopped her nutes, and a plain Ph'd watering is administered for the remaining weeks until her harvest. :jointsmile:
Oh! and to solve your pest problem, pick yourself up some Garden Safe: Fungicide 3 @ your local HD for like 5 bucks. It works great as a all-in-one spray for: Fungus, Insects, and Mites. ;)

Although, if this is week 7 from seed (I'm not real clear as to what you mean, "week 7..."), then you definitely need to up her nitro intake. Too, I do see a bit of purpling in the stem, which may be a symptom of a mag deficiency. :confused: However, some strains do carry the purpling, yet I would still add 1 teaspoon of Epsom Salt to one gallon of Ph'd water to get her healthy again.

*Note:* By giving her Epsom Salts, the purpling of the stems will not completely go away; however; new growth will be greatly improved and her leaf tips will stop pointing down and begin to straighten back out.

Yeah, Oct. 1st was only 5 weeks ago too.

:wtf4:

[jbby81]

are you even feeding her? if so, what are you using? what brand soil are you using as well? :what:

Looks like a few things going on, besides the bug issue. Your lights look insufficient, likely some light leaks, multiple plants in one pot, no ventilation or air circulation...do you have a timer? What do you use for nutes?

Bad idea to grow plants in a dorm or frat house, as you are risking everybody's freedom, for a shitty little buzz-kill plant. Do your frat buddies agree to take the fall with you, if authorities accidentally stumble on your "grow"? (a felony in some states) If you are going to risk getting everyone busted, least you could do is to grow something smokable.

Having said that, if you fill-out the Troubleshooting Form at the top of the Plant Problems forum, likely you will be pointed in the right direction.

Whoa whoa whoaaaaa. I stongly recommend that you dont add epsom salts to your soil. Sorry jbby81 but this is BAD advice. If you want to lock ur plant up so she has several more problems then go ahead and add them. There was a post about this recently.... it's not the miracle cure.

Is it week 7 from seed, flower or when u bought it as a clone??? u need to fill out the sticky at the top of plant probs with all relevant info :D

[Wobster]

Ur plant looks infested wit critters... this isn't causing the yellowing but it needs addressing. U say you put the plants into 12/12 on Oct 1 and your post is dated
Nov 6. That would make it roughly 4 weeks, not 7. Fill out the sticky and u will get more definative answers.

Wobster, why would epsom salt be a bad idea? Can you elaborate a little more as to why you say this is bad advice?

[Rusty Trichome]

Nice catch Wobster...

Wobster, why would epsom salt be a bad idea? Can you elaborate a little more as to why you say this is bad advice?Can you tell us why you think it's a good idea...?

As it says in the sticky above.

I did it myself tho and messed my plant up more. Im not gettin at you and epsom salts do work if you have an mg deficiency but with the info given and the photo, you cant make a diagnosis. :hippy:
