Why cant you start another grow? :confused:
She doesnt like me doing it in the first place, and our landlord is replacing the foundation under the house cause theres a big crack and I dont know if it will be finished in time. We are going to be moving south this spring anyways and she wants it to be sooner than later.

Wow...I don't do soil, but that doesn't look pretty...

I guess It's not such a big deal since harvest is close.

Give them a good flush and see if they perk up at all...GL.

Certainly looks that way...Buds look nice and developed so far though..

I already flushed them and that is when it got worse so I'm not doing anymore flushing. My ph is a little high sitting at 6.8 but I cant seem to get it down, I think I used too much lime in the soil. I am going to try giving them some epsom salts and see if that helps. I have been told to flower widow for 10 weeks and it would be well worth the wait but I dont think these babies will make 10 weeks. Any thoughts???

I think I'm gonna change my plan and flower for 8 weeks. The buds are covered in crystals and I dont wanna chance them dying. I think they can last another 3 weeks if I pamper them.

Yellowing leaves are normal 2-3 weeks from harvest. Usually by the time you harvest most of the fan leaves should be yellow. This shows that they were flushed the right way and were not given nutes the last 2 weeks. :peace::joint::blsmoke:

I did eight weeks on the bottom nugs, the top nugs I am waiting another week at least. They tops get brown hairs last, the bottom nugs were full of brown hairs and super crystally. so I harvested those nugs. The tops I am leaving, because like I said they are showing very little brown hairs, at least now the plant is working only on the top nugs

I don't get it? Why would you flush and then not feed if it was a deficiency? I am not a soil guy, but, if your plants need a nutrient that they are not receiving, why would keeping it from them do any good? Feeeeed them! There is no way that you can tell right now how long until you harvest right now, just take care of the immediate problem, and your plants should get back on track the best they can..If they are @ 5 weeks, then you have time to straighten this out. Get on it!

He is at 5 weeks! His leaves are not just yellowing, they are pulling every bit of nutrient out of them before there time is up.

I did feed them. I have fed them 3 times since I flushed them. I just got some epsom salts today and they will be fed again tomorrow.

Good to hear, I was abit worried! or concerned is a better word. Has the spots stopped growing yet?
You flush them the last two weeks because you dont want them taking up any nutrients. It improves the final product and doesnt hurt yields because there is plenty of stored nutrients in the plant that need to be used up so that you get all those sugars and starches out of the buds. He can give them a good feeding now but 1-2 weeks before harvest you flush your plants with pure water and then water with plain water up until harvest day so your smoke is as clean and pure as possible.:peace:

get a second opinion from some others if you dont believe me. Or you check out any grow book, grow guide, or grow dvd.

Just fed the ladies for the week, gave them some epsom salts to try to help this problem I have. Hopefully it will do the trick. Friday they will have been flowering for 6 weeks and I think that will be when I stop giving them nutes, then they will have 2 weeks without before harvest. Do I still have to flush them? Or do I just quit giving them nutes? Do I keep giving them mollasses to the end? or do I stop that too? Thanks for the help and comments guys.

sounds like a good plan. You dont have to flush them just feed straight water the last two weeks, and yes you can give molasses up to the end but it might be best to stop a few days before harvest. Like I said if they are flushed properly just about all of the fan leaves will yellow up right before harvest. :peace::mrgreen:

Thanx!! Will it still burn clean with the molasses? I dont want it to taste shitty.
