shity looking leaves close to end of flowering

[savo253]

so pretty much all my leaves look like this

the more yellow the leaf the more purple the stem is.
i dont have a ph or ppm or any other kind of meter* i know i should invest in one *

i recently flushed to get rid of any build up and hit em with a feeding couple days later they still lookin the same

what does this look like to any of you?

nitrogen deficiency?
cal/mag problem?
normal, its just autuming off so to speak?
or what else ??

all info and tips greatly appreciated

if you need more info let me know

thanks

well weed sucks the life out of its leafs when its flowering. directing the nutrients and such into the buds rather then wasting it in the leafs that arent needed that much anymore. and if its close to being done i wouldnt worry. id just flush with pH'd water and dont use any nutes anymore just regular pH'd water. aslong as the buds are smelling and looking good, oh and lots of crystal, your in a good position.

They're just Autuming off. Good looking plants!

 

[Auzzie07]

How many weeks into flowering are you? What nutes are you feeding them? At what strength? Yellowing could be due to what you said, "autumning off," which by the way, I've never heard that phrase before, but I like it. But your plants could need a little nitrogen boost if you're not too too far into flowering.

well these ones take a little longer then some other strains they still got pure white hairs and i just dont want them to die off before there done

and thanks for the info rhino

i had a few leaves do that, my ph was waaay to low at the time. I think it got locked up and then it started groing good a week later

no problem. and what Auzzie said..what week of flower are you in? around week 6-7 they need a N boost, a veg feed. just 1-2 times. not pure veg feed but mix some in with your flower nutes.

Last 2 weeks of flower flush soil and use regular water, this makes the nugs taste better.

to tell when the buds are ready look at the trichomes under a 30x microscope. if the THC is milky inside then they are done. your looking for about 80% milky, 20% amber THC. if the THC is clear then its still premature and isnt in its psychidellic form.

ya i have no idea what my ph is need a meter badly it looks like

Looks normal dude... as others above said... it's the plants natural way of living, and dying. she is just using all the Nitrogen she has left. not to worry, but you might not want to give any more nutes if you are within 2 weeks of harvest. just water during that time will give it a smoother smoke.

and if you grew your plant using that same water the entire time,than your water is fine!

nice info there specially about the n boost with some veg feed at the end makes total sense thanks again lol

and if any one wants to check out the grow its in my sig
cheers

youll be alright bro its a weed! give it normal water if you dont know your ph for now, chances are its higher and will start to balance it out if anything....but go buy a ph tester kit with up/down solutions at a grow store...usually 10-20 bucks but it goes a long way.

i just upgraded to a electric pen, a bit pricey but again it goes along way. If you are spending money on good nutes, lighting, electric bill and everything you mine as well get it right. nutrients aren't absorbed at certain PH levels that is why keeping ph is so important. If it is way out of whack you are sort of wasting your money you spent on nutes and it can cause issues in every direction which can lead to killing the plant in worst case. All cost you money which is why buying a PH kit is crucial and most important you are smoking YOUR BUDS....

stoney is right, that looks great, i would not stress on leaves much at this point, watch the buds. Those are very nice looking buds at this point, you should be proud and not stress too much, your not going to lose much at this point cause as most others have said, you will be on clear water here shorty, no more nutes so no need to worry about what to add.

 

[savo253]

ok sounds good then just water for them girls
and solarguy i always see that kit your talking about at my shop but never thought of getting it, guess i got a trip to make

and* trueno thanks as well and are you a drifter by chance ? lol

thanks again every body

if your going cheap get the drip kit, or test strips....just ask someone there they will know whats up. Just dont get the cheap probes....they suck. the only thing better than the strips or drop tests are the 80.00-150.00 electric pens...

get this...

Yah man you need a Ph meter, and a ppm meter. (ebay)
yellowing in flowering is sorta what your doing to your plant, dropping off with the Nitrogen makes the leafs yellow.
make up a light solution (200-300ppm) of your grow nutes in a spray bottle and foliar feed the bottom of your leafs just when they wake up or just before they go to bed.
A little grow solution spayed on 2-3 times a week won't hurt them. when they get green again stop the applications.
-----------
could be something else to man, but nitrogen def. is usully the problem in flowering.
Super Natural makes Green Stay it helps with plant stress, and greens up the leafs. I use it as a foliar spray when needed.
