Leaves turning yellow

I'm in week 6 of flowering and leaves are going yellow, is this normal, it is mainly on 1 plant, also a nute question : i'm using bud xl, it has 0.4 (N) should I stop this nutrient? thanks

Please post a picture, for better diagnoses.

Depending on strain etc it is usually very normal for the oldest leaves to start dying first, but if its newer leaves etc, you may have an issue.

not sure about the big xl question.

yellowing leaves late in flowering is normal. How long does your strain take to finish? I'd stop using the budXL for the last 1-2 weeks.


Also, are they just fading flat yellow? or are there brown spots, decay, or leaf crinkling/curling? What color are the leaf stems?

thanks for your input, leaves(2) are fading to yellow, can't see any bugs or nute burn, the strain i'm growing is swiss cheese, bud xl stopped, i thought of stopping bud xl because of the (N)( 0.4%) as I'm in the flowering stage,

Its not the bud xl i use it till last week. Its either underfed your nutes are low in N or ur ph is fucking things up. what arw u growing in?

If it was me I would feed that girl, you are only on week 6. Some people say yellowing up is good near the end and some say otherwise. If a plant is dropping leaves then it is being under fed imo. And you say 6 weeks in flower is that from flip or from seeing bud development.

Senescence is the plants way of preparing for it's final days. The process is really kind of interesting in that as a part of senescence, leaf abscission occurs, where the leaves stop producing chlorophyll, and the petiole actually scars over where the petiole meets the stem so that the leaf can drop off on its own without leaving an open wound on the plant. Senescence is triggered by hormones, and once the hormones are triggered, all the food in the world isn't gonna save the plant from it's eventual fate. However, we generally harvest at peak bud ripeness, before the hormones that trigger senescence are released so we rarely see the "fall colors" unless we induce them.
