no that is a nutrient deficiency. they are only supposed to go yellow when you flush your plants about 2 weeks before harvest. are you using full strength nutrients?

i really dont mean to sound like an asshole, but thats quite possibly the 3rd saddest plant ive ever witnessed. what are you using for lighting and how far away from the plant is it?

thats nitrogen deficiency, and it quite often happens before you begin flushing. but its a bit early and severe in your case and seeing as you only have a few fan leaves you want them healthy. try some veg ferts, something high in nitrogen.

and dont torture another pot plant like this...its cruel and unusual:leaf:

I will tell you this...During flowering your fan leaves turn yellow as the plant uses up the stored nitrogen. Flowering nutes contain very little "N" thus the yellow leaves sometimes as soon as a few weeks into flowering.
If you have used nothing for the entire grow, it might be helpful to use a bloom/flower nute at 1/4 or less strength to pull it through. Regardless, from the looks of your plants you will not end up with much at all except a lesson in using nutes :hump:

Go Pick up some Miracle Grow Bloom from the store, that should do the trick. Just curious how long have you been growing this plant and what kind of lighting are you using

ya i haven't been able to give them the right treatment. i live in a condo and i've had to pretty much screw up the lighting cycle, since i've been trying to sell it. but this was just an experimental growth. i went to ace hardware and bought some plant lights and that's it the lights are now like 3-5 inches away. when i first started growing, i kept the lights way to far cause they were being burned so they stretched a lot. just wanna know if there's any way to save them

i dont really know soil, im a hydro guy. but the MG bloom formula is probably the cheapest and most effective route. get those lights as close as possible, put a fan on them so they run a little cooler. dont expect more than 7 grams or so. good luck.

ya i kinda free-balled it from the beginning when i kept the lights about 2 feet away haha. i was given some seeds and just wanted to see what it was like. but now that i see buds, i'm good enough with just getting what i can get until i move. i'll go get some fertilizer here in a bit.
