Undergrowth. seems leafy and not many pistils. seems like they been impregnated. but dont see hermies..

It the plant in the same container from the beginning of the flowering ? This might be a root bound issue. Check that out and keep us updated.

how often do you water that plant and how much water do you give it?
i would first repot it right away into a much bigger pot and use the same soil to avoid any further stress. it does look like a water issue at first glance but there also seems to be sone nutriant issues too maybe too much or too little.
how often do you feed and how much do you feed and what do you feed it.
from what i can see these are the key factors but there might also be something ive forgot to mention. hope this helps

First of all, you shouldn't need to transplant. That container is plenty big enough to finish off a single flowering plant. Secondly, congrats on just about completing your first grow with some consumable product to show for it! :jointsmile: (That's not something that everybody is able to do.) Other than that, don't skimp on the drying & curing and enjoy it when it's time.

Most of the yellowing you see is normal and usually isn't a problem in flowering, but you'll still want to stop using nutrients at least a week or two before you chop it down and make sure to flush the soil really well. Next time, I'd get in the habit of monitoring your pH frequently. If it gets too far out of whack, you'll end up sacrificing yield every time.

looking at those buds i wouldnt say they are near ready at all, looks to me as tho they still have a few weeks to go and the yellow appears to be rather excessive IMHO
yellowing normally occours towards the last week or two and ive never seen it quite that bad before with buds as small as those. if you manage to get a good smoke from it then :thumbsup: congrats

i water it about when... it's about bone-dry 2-4 inches down.. about one segment of my middle finger.

When i do water it, i just put it in the tub and let it slowly run for about 15-30 minutes. just to prevent salt from building up too much and to make sure that the soil is saturated with water.
(this is probably where the problem lies)

As for feeding, I feed it with scotts cactus feed. it's 2-6-6. I never fed it full strength. i did that once actually in the middle of october but didn't see any positive results so i used about half or more strength.

i would water twice and feed once. it would dry up about every 4-5 days. so i guess, every week and a half i would feed.

i can't seem to find any good ferts at home depot or lowes.

Yeah the buds do seem totally small.. i feed i have about 3-4 more weeks of growing.. but, i am not even sure..

[sirruler]

how many weeks into flowering are they now?

[dookieface]

it's already listed above..

about 1 month and 2 weeks of flowering.

[sirruler]

if they are 6 weeks into flowering those buds should at least triple in size over the next two weeks and i would just let them carry on now until they are finnished. IMHO i'd say its too late to start messing about with them now.
i wouldnt let my plants dry for that long at all, especially at this stage as they tend to drink a lot more at this stage as you may already notice. i normally water every 2 days but in a pot that size i'd pour about 1.5 litres in slowly and make sure its room temp.
if you feed them now you wont have time to flush them so just keep watering and keep an eye on them i wish you all the luck. those buds will grow
