dude that bud is sugar coated should be nice and potent
Yeah, I wish I would have taken better care of it. I used the plant as more of an experiment because it was a seed out of some brickweed I got.
Thanks for posting autoflowa

Hey guys, got an update and a few pictures to share.
It's been a painful week watching them getting steadily worse, but after the flush and low dosage of nutes they seem to be coming back.
Starting to get a lot of brown hairs on my Northern Lights and the schwag plant. I love the colors in the buds, even if they're pretty standard. It's nice seeing it in person.
Today I watered them again with 1/4 strength nutes and 1tsp of cal/mag.
There are still some really bad looking leaves, but it doesn't seem to be spreading. I'll probably remove some of them when I get some clippers soon.
All pictures are from Northern Lights

Looking amazing man i wouldn't remove many leaves if any if i were you the more leaves it has the longer it will live if it has a problem it will continue to feed off them bad spotted leaves and they will slowly die off, thats what mine done anyways and this is just my opinion!!

I was going back and forth with the cutting idea. But thanks for the input and I agree that would be best. What right do I have to cut off parts of her?

lol you will lose some anyways slowly, so in the long run she will thin herself out i just tugged on the bad leaves and if they poped off the stem then i remove them!!

Hey Psychedelic Breakfast, have you tested the nutrient levels in your soil by any chance? I bought soil testing kits for pH, N, P & K you can asses what nutrients are missing. My plants rapidly started looking necrotic with brown spots about 3 weeks into flowering. It seems like one nutrient being way off locks out and throws the other ones out of whack. Just my two cents.. complete soil testing really helped me when it got really bad. I don't think it would hurt to test the soil and run off completely in all of your plants

Hey dellamore,
Thanks for the input. I haven't tested for nutrients but I did check the run off pH a few times. I'll definitely take a look at what you suggested.

I think I bought mine for 3$ at Home Depot... it eliminated the guess work for me. You might be able to buy them bulk online somewhere if you will be testing frequently. I combined the water from run off, my tap water that I water them with, and a soil sample. You will definitely be able to tell what is wrong immediately. This is what I'm talking about http://www.amazon.com/Luster-Leaf-Rapitest-Tester-1609CS/dp/B0019AI7PU/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1315339321&sr=8-11

Another little update here. Looks like the problem I'm having is starting to go away. I think my soil was too alkaline? I haven't heard much of that but after a flush, and then adjusting the water lower than i usually do, they started kicking back.
I need to grab myself a meter, because these indicator drops seem to change color depending on my moods.
Anyway, I also got around to modifying my cab. I didn't feel like I was getting good enough airflow plus a lot of smell was leaking. So I've lowered the carbon filter and connected it directly to the light. Should have done this originally. It's working much better now.
Heres a picture of the cab now before i cleaned it up a bit. One of my cats snuck in and went after the weed plant. Not the catnip...
Hard to tell with the HPS, but the one on the right is much greener

Looking at that picture, I really cut it close. I was originally going to make the cab 4 feet wide. Glad I made it 4.5... wouldn't have all fit in there. Such luck!

Hey guys, another update here.
I've given up on my leaves ever becomming fully green again, but it's all right because the bud growth is still going. Over the past week the buds have thickened more than I thought they would.
They've been flowering for 7 weeks now. Going on week 8. Im still seeing primarily clear trichs with some cloudy. I wonder how much bigger they're going to get..I'm already impressed with the change in the last week.
Again, the leaves aren't pretty. But i'm thinking it's pretty close to finishing anyways.
Heres the Northern Lights:
Didnt really have anything for scale, but you can see some shampoo bottles in the background of one of them lol.

Stoned Immaculate is doing great too. Not as many orange pistils, but this one has a 1-2 weeks longer flowering time according to the breeder.
This is the smaller one, a few weeks to a month after my northern lights.
edit: these pictures are a few days old. 2-4

Hey vunwaed, thanks for joining in.
Today marks day 55 of flower. For my Northern Lights, the breeder said 55-60 days. But I dont think it's ready. I'm going to sample in a week or so.
It's been about a week since the last update. Some swelling has been going on as well as some receding pistils.
For the Northern Lights, more and more are orange by the day and under the scope the majority of the trichomes are milky. I told myself I'd wait until i thought it was ready until i chopped, and then chop it all at once. But since it's my first time i'm thinking of taking a sample in a week or so.
On my schwag plant i've got mostly milky, some clear, and some amber. I'm going to take a sample of this one in a week too.
Very small ones mind you. Also, for the Stoned Immaculate i'm thinking its still a few weeks off so i'll wait a little longer until I sample her.
Anyway, here are some pictures I took an hour ago at lights off. The leaves are still looking real bad, but focus on the other parts
All photos are from Northern Lights.
---------Stoned Immaculate's main cola can be seen on the left of pic 1. It's the long one

More cloudy by the day. Feels like I just started, even though it's almost four months in.
Thinking today I'll probably try the dry ice method for making hash. I saw a neat thread i that I sub'd awhile back that I'll have to find. I'm sure a lot of you saw it, but I'll link to it anyways for anyone interested.
https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/440308-dry-ice-hash-very-simple.html
Might do something else, but in the moment that sounds like the easiest method for my situation. Has anyone done this and have any opinions?
Probably going to throw up some pictures later, even though not much has happened
