6 weeks into flowering. Too much yellowing?

Revilgaz · Mar 7, 2016

So I'm growing 4 plants under 600w right now. As stated I'm 6 weeks into flowering and plan on flushing next week. I have 2 plants that have almost 0 yellowing and 2 plants that seem like quite a bit for having 2-3 weeks left. Should I be concerned? I know lack of nitrogen at this point is pretty common, but I'm not sure to this extent? I guess I'm just looking for reassurance on my first grow, ha. Ive attached some pictures if anyone like to provide any insight on my time frame of 2-3 weeks left til harvest. Strain is Super Skunk with a listed flowering time of 8 weeks. Thanks for any help.

Look fine to me. Not sure why they're soaking wet

Just finished watering.

I don't know about foliar feeding swelled up buds. I know people do it but it seems like you're inviting mold which is an oportunistic little bastard anyway

My tent has good air circulation. They dry up pretty quick in there. My tent could use the extra moisture, sitting at 30% RH most of the time.

30% is actually good for flower and I wouldn't spray them either it's really not serving any positive purpose

A friend of mine WAS a big fan of foliage feeding as he put it until he lost 8 beautiful plants to mold, keep an eye on them especially this late in flower. Good luck

If you're going to flush next wk, I would go ahead and give the 2 yellowing a light dose of veg nutes. That is if your flower nutes doesn't have a sufficient amount. If they're yellowing now, they'll look pitiful in 2 wks with no food.
That's JMO, they need green leaves for photosynthesis.

Use a humidifier instead. Dont wet flowers directly. Shut off a wall fan or slow down the exhaust speed of the room if you have a sealed hood isolated from the room. The reason why low humidity is recommend is because flowers can already hold so much water as it is.

I'm not foliar feeding. They're just wet from watering. I pour from the watering can over the top middle of the plans because I can't fit the spout directly into the soil near root.

I fed them all with a 4-4-4 liquid solution today. Should I go back and feed the yellowing plants more? I have blood meal, 4-4-4 liquid and a 4-12-7 dry fert currently...

The tent is tight as it is. I think 4 plants was too much. I have a humidifier that I plan on using during drying to get RH to about 50%.

I noticed there's a little bit of burned leaves, probably because of your foliar-feeding /watering.. sum leaves still wet/damp when lights are back on.? Give them one more feed before you flush, should keep them good til you harvest.. jmo.
Happy growing,
Gaz

I would pull off the yellow leaves and give them a cpl days to see if you have any new ones. If you do I would hit with the dry fert.

Looking good, like others have already said you'll want to avoid getting too much moisture on/near the buds.

You said you have trouble getting to the pots, what is your set up like?

Also, those extra white calyxes you posted look bleached, how close is your light?

I pull the plants out of the tent to water them in a tray. The can is hard to get under the canopy so I just water down the middle. Light is about 12" from canopy. Did the hand test, doesn't feel hot.

I feel you on the watering issues then. Do you have anything you could use to extend the reach of your watering container?

12"? Cool...or rather warm. Either way, interesting. Them some white buds on top for sure. I wonder why?

Not really. Was thinking about getting a smaller 1.25 liter can. That was I can be sure how much water/nutes each plant is getting. At this point I'm kind of just guessing that I'm splitting the gallon mix evenly. And that should help me be able to water right at the base.

Pull the light a little further away? Or too late to matter?

Your light is probably fine, 12" seems to be the usual measure people use.

Cobnobuler · Mar 8, 2016

No worries that I could see but yeah, I would never foliar feed that late in flower, or spray even plain water on the plant at that point.
Also careful not to over-correct worrying about the yellow that is there.
Stay the course, go easy on nutes and ride it out to finish.
