My lady is 7 weeks and 2 days into flowering, this is my first indoor grow and i had my typical newb problems such as using miricle grow time release soil which burnt her and had a small problem with fungus knats..
I have a total of 621 watts of cfls and a couple standard floros..... Now I know the yellowing of the leaves are normal but whats with the purple on the leaves??? is that normal to when nearing harvest? im hoping to get at least and oz. off of her.....how much longer do you think she has to go??
thanks....:eyesmoke:

im not using any nutes, just the MG time release stuff in the soil, i tried feeding her bloom booster but her leaves curled so i took that as an indication and with the advice of others on here i stopped because she was getting to much..... just been feeding her molasses every few days...
 
Not to hurt your feelings but they look like shit. I would flush them with 3x the amount of water than the size of your pots. Then about an hour later I would give them another flush with half the amount of the original water used. I couldnt even begin to tell you whats wrong because they look that bad. Your MG should be done with it time released nutes by now but I would still try to flush it somewhat clean. Give it a day or two and see how she recovers.
 
I agree with boneman 100% on this one. Give them the big flush and let them go for a few days and see if this changes anything. Even though the plants may have an 8-10 week flowering period you may be able to get them to recover and then you can let them flower for a few more weeks to maximize their potential. Your plants only think they are done because they are out of food but after the flush and about a week later you can feed them flowering food and this will remind them to flower some more.

She is definately lacking nitrogen, potasium, phosphorous, cal, mg, iron, zinc, mn etc. SHe should be okay once those are replaced into her system. Good luck

thanks for the advice also brasmith... i figured since she was over 7 weeks thats the way she was supposed to look...lol....the good news is she hasnt looked this bad long...she just turned this way a couple of days ago....thanks again...
 
ok... I took all of your advice and here she is at almost 9 weeks.....I know shes running behind because of her food deprevation...but I think shes a lot better now.
how does she look now and how much longer ??
Im guessing another week at least... the close up of the trichs is of the top cola ...the bottom buds are loaded with trichs....again thanks for the help....

That's lookin pretty nice brotha... it looks to me like you got about 2 weeks left before harvest. Give them a chance to fatten up a bit. Keep your eyes on the trichomes and harvest when about 40% of them have turned amber. You can also judge by looking at the white hairs. When about 75% of them have turned brown it's peak potency time :-D

thanks man...yeah, the amber trichs are what im waiting for.... its hard being patient, but in the end it will all be worth it...:eyesmoke:
 
looks 100% better than it did for sure. went from straight yellow to green lol. The leaves look kinda droopy still tho.. or maybe im just a dumbass. But to me they kinda do look that way.
 
yeah, dont mess with miracle grow in the future, cant regulate any nutrients. Good job on the save
 
thanks guys....no more MG soil for me....some people get great results from it and stand by it...in my case, i became paranoid and almost did her in....Ill be going with fox farms for my next grow...orange kush...that wont be till the spring though...Ill also be picking up a 1000 watt hps system....
 
Excellent save Captain! Do like Rolla said a let them do their thing for a while longer and you will a beauty in the end.
