Hi there,
This is my first grow and it's gone pretty smoothly so far, apart from a couple of nute burn episodes and thrip problems.
I'm growing "semi-outdoor", moving the plants around so they get about 9hrs of direct sun a day, and 3 weeks ago I introduced a flowering cycle, covering them with giant cardboard boxes when necessary for 12hrs a day of dark (working surprising well).
Whilst the buds are developing very well, and fast, recently lots of leaves have been turning yellow and dropping off. There isn't much pattern to it although they are mainly older leaves. I understand it's normal for this to happen during late flowering, but this is only 3 weeks in and I'm worried that in 5 weeks there will only be the buds left. This morning I picked off at least 10-15 from the larger plant.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this?
Soil grow, the larger plant outside is NL and the other is AK-48.
I'm now using flowering nutrients although admittedly only 2/3rds dose as I'm worried about nute burn again.
Thanks in advance
