Hi,
As the title suggests, I have two plants that are nearing the end of their flowering stage, almost ready to harvest. However the lower fan leaves are turning yellow. If this a deficiency or just a natural process that the plants do to concentrate growth on the cola's?
Additional information is that the plants are growing out doors.

Thanks!

Expected so don't worry. In the last week you should water only so that residual nutes are used up!!

Do you know how or what medium he's growing in? If you don't how can you tell him he has to flush his plants?
OP it's a good thing there yellowing. It means the plants ending it's life cycle.

Its obviously his first harvest in which case had he been in hydro he may not have made it to the end in flower. Even coco needs a 3 day flush as roots store excess nutes.

back to the yellowing of leaves..............how much is normal? a yellow leaf does no photosynthesis. i lose some at beginning of flowering sometimes, but finish green.

Thanks everyone for you responses. I shall just hope that the yellowing is normal, I will only start really worrying if worse effects occur!

Usually a lot of yellowing start around 2-3 weeks in flowering,but it's normal.The plant is simply trying to make room for buds and aeration,remember the flowers/pistils
are sex organs,them yellowing leaves are cock blockers and the plant is trying it's best to reproduce,so she rids them.
