Hey everyone... just registered but I'm sure you'll see lots of me.. I'm about 3-4 weeks from harvest and in the last week or so the leaves on the top of the plants are starting to look a little strange, it's a hydro grow with the lucas formula for nutrients and any help i can get would be nice.. so for the blurry pics seems i couldn't get one in focus...







thanks again

hey sith. welcome.

from what i've seen, this looks normal. it didn't happen to my plants but many strains have yellowing of the leaves very close to harvest. as i understand it, nitrogen is moving from the leaves to the flowering sites. loss of nitrogen = yellow leaves. there is no need to replace the N, just keep doing what your doing.

i hope someone else comments to verify this. i don't think you have anything to worry about.

I really cant tell from the pics if burned. but if its a few weeks from harvest I wouldnt worry. Yes closet is correct they will begin to turn yellow giving all the wonderful juices and nutes to the buds.

great first grow. hope all goes well.

if its really making you nervouse and think its a nute burn flush them and flush them well. but i can honestly say dont worry if you using nutes stop if you are weeks from harvest give them 1 more nute then stop.

I really think most the yellowing u see is natural but it does look like some nute burn.

you are close to harvest soon dont worry i would just use water no nutes. hope this all helps

Im no pro just giving advice from my own personal expeirence.

I hope this helped. just use water leave her alone! it looks great. nice first grow

I think thats just a sign of the leaves letting the buds use up the nutes like the other guys were saying.....

I dont think 84 is too hot, but who knows maybe thats playing a small part too?? Youve got them this far though so I doubt that is the issue.

bump... will 100 Degrees F kill my plants? do more fans reduce temps or just move air around?
