I am now 8wks into flowering and I've started getting these dark spots on some of the leaves close to the buds and also now getting dark small spots on fan leaves along with discoloration. This is my first grow and am looking for some opinions and advice.

what strain? many many strains are finishing at 8 weeks, yours look a few weeks into flowering.
those spots are caused from snipping the tips of necessary leaves during flowering I heard;-)

I believe it's just a low yield due to all the stress I've caused. It's a seed from OG kush. The buds are dense and there are a lot of darker hairs underneath the tops. I just haven't had the leaves look like this before and can't seem to figure out what's causing. I haven't given nutrients in the last two feedings thinking it was nute burn. But it's now getting worse..

at 8 weeks dude, your og should be finished. at 8 weeks old, near finish, why would you be feeding nutrients?
at 8 weeks into flower these plants should be fat, stinky, sticky and being flushed of your salt nutrients. Its very common for
finishing plants to show some deficiency, because we always stop feeding salts in the last few weeks.
if your trichomes are cloudy begin flushing with pure water, stop feeding nutrients.

Thanks, I was told in another thread they still had 3-4 weeks to go. I've been watching the tricombs and its about 50-50 clear and cloudy. No amber yet. But they are dense now and I don't see them doing much more.Here are some better pics.

I think you have to go another 2/3 weeks. Bc of the white hairs and all the bud leaves are so healthy. In the last stages of bud development the plant should focus on the bud's and cannabis the leaves.

So do you think I should still be giving nutes at this point?

Yeah I think so . It debatable, totally depends on your situation and goals. And what I mean is that for me I'm growing in a organic soil so I feed very little but I like the add some sweetner at the end. And I try to plan the whole grow in advance making only minor changes if the plants look unhappy.

So some peeps hold off feeding at the end but they might have really big pots that hold nutes in reserve, letting the plant fade.

Others will say don't starve your plants bc your hurting your yield.

So you can see the difference in approaches, and some people are more dickish if you don't do it like they do. But you have to do what fits your situation.

Thanks for the advice, this is my first time and there is a overwhelming amount of info out there. It seems most ways of doing things contradict others. I guess it really is a trial and error type of thing. I have two plants and one has nice dense buds, the other has airy buds that are fox tailing like crazy. Yet I've done nothing different and it's the same strain.

Crazy ain't it , and the thing is it you'd had two of the dense ones this strains great , and if you'd had two of the airy fox tailing you'd been like this strain sucks . But instead you got both and had a very valuable experience . Btw if you want to pm me its cool.
