Hey Rusty,

After looking again, and not focusing strictly on the fan leaves, but also the leaf tips curling down it isn't happy. I like mine reaching for the sky.. IRT leaves turning though.. Nearly all indica dominant strains I've grown start to shed fan leaves about week 5 - 6 (on an 8 week strain). I have a Vanilla Kush on day 60 that's turned nearly purple, with some really ugly leaves on the underside that have gone brown due to the lack of N. I also start giving nothing but water at the start of week 7. For a sativa dominant, my Super Lemon Haze is finishing week 8 and has started losing color in the fan leaves as well where a typical fade to yellow has started. This one will be flushed for weeks 9/10 and it will be extremely ugly at the end..

Monkey Man, - I also remember sweating this stuff when I was getting started too.. I personally think you got some solid advice on this thread and as you gain patience in growing, your're going to do fine. Keep it simple.. BTW - that was some great looking bud on the plant!

Peace, Farmer Rich
Farmer Rich Reviewed by Farmer Rich on . lower leaves turning purple-brown hello all! i have 2 plants, both are at the begining of their 5th week of flowering. about two weeks ago i've noticed that in one of the plants, some of the lower fan leaves were starting to turn purple-brown, 3-4 days later it also happened with the other plant. since than, the color spread to some more leaves, but only to the lower/med sections and only to the larger leaves (not to the small ones which surround the flowreing areas). in one plant, two of the purple-brown leaves developed Rating: 5
