How long have you been in flower? Toward the end of flower they do that especially with autoflowers. A lot of these have crispy brown leaves falling off them.
Since probably December 27th, so I’m guessing it’s time to harvest. She just gonna be a low yielding plant I’m guessing
Here’s more pics

Yeah its called "fade" im betting its harvest time. What are you running for lights and how big of a space? They look light deprived to me.

LOL we both want to know. They look pretty light deprived to me.
A 300W light from amazon

How big is your tent? Or grow space or whatever. Also how far from the light are your plants and how many plants?
eh not the biggest but there’s space all around her. She doesn’t touch anything

How far away from the plant did you keep the light? If you dont have a tent i would suggest getting one the reflective material helps get so much more light to bud sites from every angle.

Exactly what light do you have?
It’s about 15-20 inches honestly. Need to measure will show you

That distance should be ok. Im wondering if your light draws a true 300w or if thats an inflated BS rating?
Hmm same I’m thinking. I thought she was getting more than enough light that’s why I moved her down. Might need to move back up

LEDs look bright as hell but there isnt actually much energy in the light they put out. I would recommend getting a LUX meter and trying to stay close to this guide.

Flower formation has a big genetic component. Strain selection is an important part of a successful grow.
Lighting is a close second on indoor grows. That's why I asked about your fixture. I would suspect that your fixture may have 150 watts of inefficient diodes, so I'd say it might cover about 3 sq ft of canopy. If your footprint is larger than that it'll be a bit light deprived.

Im betting closer to 50-75w. Usually they put a 4-6x multiplier on their "watt output." The nodes have crazy spacing between them and plant looks super stretched out.

Is this a photoperiod or autoflower plant? If its a photo, did you top it or do any training?
