Here we are, almost 9 weeks into flowering now. Buds are getting bigger and dense, and my drooling is almost substituting for water refills.

Currently, I am on water only. In about two days of going with straight water (no nutrients), leaves started turning yellow at an extremely fast rate. In the third photo below, This bud's leaves went past yellow, and into a brown. This was not caused by light burn, but something else. Anyone have a clue what this means? Any input on how they look now would be appreciated.

The runt of the pack is turning out to be the biggest producer. This could be attributed, at least in part, to it's lack of height. The other two just grew too tall and too much was burned as a result. It is looking very white right now. I hope that I didn't start flushing too soon. I started at 8 weeks. Since this is bag seed, I didn't know what to expect. I hoped for an 8 week flowering period. Well, when I hit 8 weeks and knew they weren't ready, I hoped for 10. Now that I'm approaching week 9, and plan to start the next step in flushing (FloraKleen), I hope I wasn't premature.

Attached are some bud shots of some of the nicer looking buds (or at least the easiest to get a decent photo of). The last one isn't a bad looking bud, but it has some strange looking leaves. I figure that the buds are draining their stored nutrients from the leaves, causing the yellowing. But, this particular leave just doesn't look right. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I spent the last month just reading up on the postings here, as well as some magazines I picked up at a local hydro store. This board was the most helpful, and I hope to repay that help with a grow report which I hope helps at least one other person out. During this time, I'm sure I will ask for assistance from some of you out there, and I hope that I am Rating: 5
