I've started upping the nitrogen-feeding. To me it looks like a nitrogen deficiency. Just wanted confirmation or opinions.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Just checking, nitrogen deficiency?

More likely it's root bound. That's a very small container. There's a point at which the roots can only supply nutes/water to a certain amount of foliage, once it gets to that point for every new leaf produced, an old one must die.

Looks like natural bleeding off of N. The plant automatically does this in mid to late flower. She's just moving around stuff to build more bud.
I continue what your doing. Be treating with some calmag in flower and this girl should finish fine.
I'm guessing that dries out pretty fast. Like mentioned above ya may consider a larger pot next run. For photos i go a minimum of 7gal. Autos 3-5gal. I see no root bound signs really. The fabric pots do well with roots and can support a lot. That fat main stem says a lot and these are not sagging. They are reaching for light. Perfect. Good job.

I would have used a larger pot, it was a bit of an afterthought and was the only smart pot I had left. I hope you're wrong about it being rootbound, but even if it is, I guess I'm close enough to the finish line for it to be a non-issue.
Gotcha. Thank you. I'm waiting to get my organic cal/mag tomorrow and start feeding with that. Do you see signs of calmag deficiency? Or are you just saying to be safe?
Thanks for the encouragement. Do you have any estimate on how far I have to go? We're talking a month'ish, right?

They look a out 5-6 weeks into flower. Most strains run 70+. Find ya a good scope on Amazon to check trichomes at 60+. Cheap ones work fine. Mine cost maybe $7. Takes the guesswork out of when it's ripe.
Calcium def appears on the yellowing leaf as brown spots commonly. It'll start mid plant and move up.
Mag def you'll see darkened veins in the leaf with yellowish hues in the meat of the leaf.
Other than what looks like wind or grasshopper damage it looks great. Do some image searches on calmag issues. Lots of examples.

Perfect! Sweet Tooth Auto should be 7-8 weeks of flower, so we'll see. I just inspected it more closely and I believe you're right about the cal mag. Would explain the dying spots.
I do have a scope with light, I just haven't felt the need to use it yet. I know I'm not THAT close yet.
I don't think I have caterpillar damage, I spray with BT every week and I haven't seen a caterpillar yet. But I do have a shitton of wind, that's why there's a brick on top, to avoid it falling over.
Thanks a lot for the help.

Next year goodbye pots is my advice bro if u can grow a potted plant there u can grow one straight in the ground and trust me it's alot easier than way if your paranoid about height you can top and tie down worst case

Yeah I might do that next year, but I originally had them with all my other plants. And I need to be able to move them inside the shed if there are heavy rains during flowering. I don't have a pavilion or anything to cover the plants with when it rains. So them being movable is very useful!

They should be slightly faster in pots too bud Vs in the ground I just find them stronger faster and happier in the ground it also cuts down on watering

Yeah, I get that, but even with mold-resistant strains, you have to provide cover every time it rains right, all through flowering? That would suck because where I live it will rain often, especially in flowering.

Your better off covering if you can where you are but I'm sure some stuff would manage without it providing it gets to dry out in-between and after the rain
