- This was an outdoor plant (grown in a bucket with soil, but recently moved into the GH)

I've been watering with a molasses, guano, casting tea every 4-5 days... but have been using straight water for last two weeks.

You need some veg and flower nutrients, if those leaves get worse they're all going to curl up and die if you don't, be careful. You should be feeding it pretty much all the way up to the week of harvest, or two weeds for extra flushing. Basic nitrogen and phophorus def.

I'm not so sure that is the problem... I've been giving them a molasses, guano, worm casting, manure tea + 20-20-20 until this started happening. I have gotten a PH tester and my soil tested just under 8. Is it too late to fix? They are well into flower. What should I do?

I'm unsure of the genetics... they were from a guy who does huge outdoor grows... told me they were perfect for our climate. The PH in the soil is high... 8. should I just continue feeding or bring down the soil's ph?

I think sulfur will lower the ph but you might do more harm then help... You should call him up and ask if this is normal and if he has ever run into this problem.. Sorry I can't be of more help but I have never seen that before.. I would like to see what is causing it tho

The person who gave me the seeds is kind of unreachable... So I have no idea about the strain. The odd thing is... I have one plant that auto-flowered... looks a beauty... has been on the same diet, but not showing any of the symptoms of the other 8 plants.

I like the charts! Nice find.
It could be that it's normal, and that it's genetic. He said they were outside, well into flower, and it IS getting on to fall. Some genetics the leaves start changing earlier than others. Looks like the plant is going into it's final days. Looks like it's a Sat dom, so it's probably still got a ways to go.

what about if the yellowing has started at the top of the plant? it seems like with my plant the yellowing started on the top with some of the biggest leaves and now it just moving along every branch and instead of having dark green stems all my stems seem to be a bright red or a purple

Can you post a pic of your plant?
