Problem 2 weeks before harvest?

[Rusty Trichome]

I first stopped water for two weeks, giving it only nutrient solutions until i noticed the change. But now I am only giving water. Over-ferting was my first guess, so thats why I did this.

As for the watering... I noticed my plants starting to wilt in the late afternoon and night. Therefore I started to water in the morning and afternoon, and she didn't complain at all.

How much water in what size pot? Perhaps not getting enough water to the lower root zone?
When I give nutes, I try not to let it run out of the bottom, but still get to the bottom. But on freshwater days, I make sure to get some run-off. (a cup or so, max) Kinda like a mini-flush. Also, salts build up and can swing your ph, inhibit uptake, kill roots...

No flush yet, should I do this now? I didn't want to screw it up more by flushing and not having the ph correcter, so I've been hoping (usually doesnt help much, I know) that the problem doesn't get too bad.

Best to use properly ph'd water, but have you brought her this far without adjusting? If so, not sure I'd worry about it. (she's pretty awesome looking as is) But, properly adjusted water and nute solutions can show greatly improved results, and knowing your ingoing and runoff ph is very useful in troubleshooting problems.

I think I could even take it down today if I had to, because it is quite potent already. However, flowering time is listed as 8-9 weeks, and its been only 7. Therefore i'd like to keep if for at least another week, or until I see some amber trichs.

I always flush a week before finish, then no more nutes, just water.
Patience is almost always worth the impatience. (How profound, eh?) I'd see if I could correct the problem. If she still declines, I'll bet she's smokable. :jointsmile:

(had to keep things within a budget for the first go-around to keep the wife happy :thumbsup

Likely a wise decision.
