is this a problem ????

So, in 2 days, one of my ladies gets into the 7th week of flowering. Shes a small indica (bud seed). Looks like she needs one more week (at least 75% of the hairs are red-ish and the tricomes looks a bit milky).

the problem is that all the leaves and the entire plant is still green . No yellow leaves at all. Is this a problem, or some plants just dont turn their leaves yellow?

Have you flushed your plant yet (stop using nutes, and basically drown it for the last two weeks) If not, that's why. Your plant still is receiving nutrients from soil and hasn't finished it's end game. You should also note that without flushing your weed will taste soapy and smell like lavender when it burns.

Never thought I'd see a post re:still having green leaves at the end of a grow.
I think the majority of growers have never accomplished this. I know I never have indoors and I've tried.
If you can do it again, you've solved a huge concern for some.

I just pulled back with the nuts because I think is a huge shock to cut the nuts all in a sudden. I 'll start using only water in about 2-3 days.

The things about cutting nutes all at once is, that the plant will still pull what it needs from the leaves, that's why they turn yellow, buds pull from them when their is nothing in the medium. Not saying that easing off nutes is a bad idea though.

Thats why I was wondering if this is a prob or not. haha, of course I can do it again....i hope . yeah, she looks very healthy. my concern was about the buds, coz they look pretty much done.

yeah, but for some reason i still think that cutting the nuts off suddenly, can create stress to the plant .... i'll cut them off anyway in about 2-3 days.

thanks for the thoughts tho!

STOP USING NUTES NOW, you can flush for several weeks, at least 2 before they get yellow. start flushing now. just me 2 cents.

now, how many times a day should I water (only plain water) the plant?

Hey men I was reading your post and I am new to this.Just wanted to know what is to flush the plant and when I am suppost to flush it.Thanks! please let me know

 

[trombon84]

Flush = feeding your plant with ONLY plain water (7 ph)
At the end of the flowering cycle (when the plant has to die) you suppose to flush your plant so she uses the nutrients that she already accumulated (mostly in leaves). People usually do this for the quality of the bud.

 

[trombon84]

my concearn is that....i have no idea how many times a day you suppose to flush her???

 

[trombon84]

so I cut the nuts for a week already. The plant still ... VERY green !!!! No yellow leaves... any sugestion?

 

[jsgrwn]

keep flushing, and keep in mind that yellow leaves are not a sign of ripeness, they are a sign of N deficiency.
