First time grower and I had to go away for a week last week and again this up coming holiday weekend. I left my girlfriend in charge and I can't tell if this is natural yellowing fan leaves or she cooked them with nutes. They are 30 days into flower and when I left they were very small buds and now have gotten much bigger so I can't tell if it is killing the bottom leaves off or not. Some of the plants have healthy looking leaves that are completely yellow on the bottom of the colas others look gross and brown...here are some pictures if you have any questions I have more that I can show you but I was just hoping to right any wrong before I fly out of town again Friday. Thanks!

I dont think your gf did this is was you. Its not nute burn its salt build up from the soil your using in turn locking out N. Not really a major problem.

Ok so do I just flush the soil? I'm using roots organic soil and general organics I thought by going all organic I wouldn't be able to have a salt build up. I just need to figure out what to do because like I said I'm leaving again tomorrow and I just don't want to get into a worse situation or set her up to have to look things up for me because she really doesn't even want to have anything to do with this haha. Thanks for the help though BUDS

I don't think I can be doing anything too wrong...They looked perfect as of last Tuesday. If anything I over watered them a bit because I water every other day but the plants have been taking it good because every second day I can stick my finger into the soil and its dry. Its not on all six plants either only like 4 of the 6 and of those 4, 2 of them are bad. I guess I just will try to flush them and test the soil and ride it out. Worst case scenario I should still have some weed...just not nearly the amount of money I put into trying to grow them haha.

its only a few fan leafs that are yelling its green every where else . on the buds and the buds are big fat and frosty and look good . who cares . pull the yellowing leafs off . keep in mind in late flower some fan leafs do turn yellow . who cares ? your growing buds not fan leafs . PULL YELLOW LEAFS OFF . you could be hitting them like a pro with nutrients and on the bottoms some of the leafs will turn yellow . your gf did a good job . I would not do any thing different . except lift your light a few inches higher . see the twisted leafs by the bud . most people will try to hit the nitro higher to correct your problem. to get rid of the yelling leafs . on a few . because some people feel your never expose to pull a leaf off ever . this is a mistake .

That's nice - blame it on the girlfriend! :roll: I agree with the advice you've already gotten, and suggest if you don't/can't trust someone else to take care of your plants (though in this case the gf did just fine imo) stay home and DIY! :) Just sayin'...

Thanks a lot man haha ya she did a good job I was proud as soon as she saw them turning yellow she was googling problems and thought that it was just the yellowing of leaves from being late in flower... its probably about 2/3 through the flower cycle so that might be early but i'll just pick them off and keep on doing what im doing. Other then those leaves the buds look awesome...they are super frosty so im pumped

They dont look too bad and the buds look great. I sure wouldnt do anything drastic, just be very careful about using to much of the bloom nutes. For instance, if you were gone only a week, it would have been easier to just tell her to just water 'em if they need it till you come back. If the pots are light, water em.
