I only have one piece of advice.. and it's only applicable if you are growing a sativa... WATCH OUT FOR THAT FLOWERING STREEEEEETCH!!!!

 

[NebulaHaze]

Is it just a few leaves in the middle and bottom of the plant that aren't getting light? If so it's nothing to worry about - it's natural for the plant to lose some amount of leaves.

However, if you notice the symptoms spreading to lots of new leaves, that's a problem

 

[Farmerfran]

Yuuup, its only a few leaves on the bottom. These plants are pretty tall as well so there is very little light getting through that far. Thanks for taking the time to check out my plants and commenting, I appreciate it tons.

 

[Farmerfran]

Oooooo yes, i have already noticed a significant stretch in the few days since the flowering switch.

UPDATE:

It has been a while since an update. Im now on the second week of flowering. Everything is still looking pretty great. I am still seeing a few burnt up or yellowing leaves at the bottom of plants( 1 out of the 4 i somewhat have a concern). I removed all bad looking leaves today and will see what happens. I think its because the plants are pretty tall and little to no light is getting down that far.

im pretty sure its normal for older lower leaves to die off. they are supposed to. your plants are healthy and beautiful, ur doin a great job fran!

Nice stretch, should be a good haul.
I often do a lollipop trim (all the undergrowth that isn't getting full light) around week 3-4 of flower.

 

[GreenArmadillo]

Woah, those are some lovely looking genetics farmerfran. Right on!

 

[Farmerfran]

Thanks, i was just looking into defoliating, training, and lollipopping during flowering and plan on doing some cleanup next week.

for some bagseed i am surprised that they are all female (from what i can tell) and have looked good the entire grow so far.

 

[NebulaHaze]

If a female plant hermies (grows male flowers and releases pollen) than all the resulting plants will be female. This is because it's a (mostly) female plant that pollinated another female plant)! So I imagine that's what happened to you. Here's a little more information about feminized seeds that come that way if you're interested: http://www.growweedeasy.com/feminized-seeds-hermies

UPDATE

Its now day 17 of flowering. I can honestly say i have learned soooo much. I now know what i will be looking for as far as training and water scheduling on future grows. Anyway back to this grow, i have been adding the floratrio using the ratio shown on the bottle for flowering. I havent notice nute burn or any clawing. I have notice things are starting to get crystalish.

 

[Farmerfran]

I see, i see very interesting. I will definitely read this article. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
