I am still learning and again this is only my second grow so please dont think im arguing against your advice as it all makes perfect sense. After reading silent leprechaun's reply i thought i was having N-P-K ratio problems. I had another x amount of views with no reply so after some research ie yellowing from bottom upwards, i phoned my hydro shop and was advised that i could give 5-3-3 to up the Nitrogen. I understand the plant uses its stored energy and leaves start to yellow and why but i didnt expect it so soon into flower. Flowering period should be 8-9 weeks and im at 25 days. My first grow looked like my current white widow 7 weeks into flower after a big flush and nothing but water till harvest to force her to use all nutrients available in soil, stems and leaves for a smoother smoke ie no black ash/harshness (this is my understanding of the final flush).
She has stopped vertical growth and is starting to swell so i guess my questions are as follows... although i cant see any roots is there a chance that shes pot bound given the yellowing is so early? If she is pot bound and ALL leaves turn yellow and fall off is she prematurely ready for harvest? Should i monitor trichome colours now? Should i ignore colours etc and wait the recomended 8-9 weeks regardless?
Thankyou for the reply and would appreciate any comments or thoughts people may have on this matter
