This is my first grow, I think I might be babying it a bit and I'm wondering if my "problems" are actually problems at all and whether I should be trying to fix them or just leave things alone.
As you can see, some of the larger leaves in the middle are yellowing and the tips on most of the young leaves are browning.
I was leaf feeding with seasol before, I stopped when the it started flowering. At that point it had one or two slightly yellow leaves, when a few more started to turn and the tips started to brown I added a low dose of slow release fertilizer and a weak solution of boric acid (I heard N was probably the problem with the yellowing and N or B deficiency were the likely culprits for tips browning). I realise that slow release probably wasn't the best choice, but I couldn't find a liquid fertilizer with a decent P content.
The pH is around 6.5
Should I be pulling off the yellowing leaves, or just let them fall when they want? Should I be trying to keep tweaking the nutes or would I be better off just leaving it to itself until I harvest...which brings me to my next question and the other two pictures.
Are these photos clear enough to identify when to harvest (I can see what I think are the white-ish trichromes)? Will photos like these show up the colour change or should I get a microscope?
I'm hoping to harvest in about the next 1-2 months, does that sound like a reasonable estimate given the plant's current state?
Cheers,
Mikey
