White Widow

This is my only plant, it sprouted on 09-14-20. I recently gave it a VERY small dose of Seabird Guano and the leaves started turning yellow.
Do most growers not use any supplements on their Auto Flower plants ???
Does any one have any helpful advice? The last 2 pictures are of the buds and not the lower half that has yellow.

Give it a balanced top dressing.

It's nitrogen loss. It's normal once stretch is over to see this. Not a big deal at all. She looks good. I think you'll have a very satisfying smoke when she's cured

The soil I am using is supposed to have all the nutrients in it that are needed.
I think it is Aurora 707, I just wanted to give it a small bloom boost and I mixed it up according to directions and only used 30ml on the plant on Friday. Today I have yellow leaves???

By the way, the vegetation period on this plant was a few days. It was flowering on the 2nd week.
I know this is not a N deficiency. It happened right after I used the 0 8 0 Seabird guano which is also a
Aurora product.

Thank You, I suspect you are correct. I am mainly wanting to avoid this in the future and learn from it.

You are most welcome. You can get away with giving white widow auto no nutes at all. But giving her N during veg keeps the leaves greener for longer. I use Gobox grow, calmag and bio-marine 1/2 dose. When stretch is over I switch to bloom formula, also 1/2 dose. I usually harvest WW auto at 75 days.

So I have 4 white widows that popped on 9-22, and I have never grown autos before. The seedlings were given to me. Anyhow, I had the exact same problems with yellow leaves. I did nothing different than any other plants I’ve ever grown, but these yellowed. I think these are heavy feeders, I went from 1/2 strength to full strength nutes, and added cal mag to every feeding, and my yellow leaf problem stopped. Not sure if it was the extra nutes, or mag deficiency. Here are mine today on day 70. Winding it down. Probably chop this weekend, or the next. Not very impressed with the bud density. I won’t be doing autos again.

So would you definitely or nearly say it is a nutritional problem?
I used very, very small amounts of nutes, because most things I read,saw, watched and heard was automatics did not need near as much nutritional additives.
And I thought the less I did the better.
I think you might be right and I am wrong.
Please,, I NEED OTHERS TO VERIFY THAT TURBOBUZZ IS CORRECT.

Are you sure it was 09.22.20? That's not 70 days. Would it have been 08.22.20?
My plant looks a lot like yours.. The flowers look very much the same, except mine was popped on 09.14.20

This is my first auto grow too.
