I think she is looking for more Nitrogen. Unless you did something to your lights recently, i don’t think it would be light burn (or is she still stretching?).
She doesn’t look bad but the overall pail coloring is worrisome this late in flower. If it is nitrogen, she might not fatten up as much as she is capable of. Try boosting N for the next feeding and keep an eye on her. You may have cut back on the nutes a bit early. If a producer says 65-70 days, it’s more like 75-80 days.

Thanks for the replies everyone 
I'm still scratching my head though wondering what is going on or what I could have done better. Pretty sure that the tips of the leaves should not be getting burnt. Pretty sure that the whole plant should not be turning yellow. It's frustrating when it keeps happening at the same time every grow. No matter how much I keep an eye on everything. As far as I can tell the plant has nute burn and is deficient in something, now what do I do? Not sure if there is anything I can do now other than keep it watered and hope that the buds fatten up.

I don't think she's looking to starved maybe it is the spectrum not sufficiant enough to keep her greener? They sure seem to like blue & white light on my veg only switch but i only keep it on the photos for 2wks then i use both switches. Heck my are also same time frames nearly and i'm still going with 70days on 1 she's not fading at all just plumping.

It just looks so much like heat/light stress. What are your temps/humidity like?
Also Nebula's nute schedule does back down pretty good on the nitrogen about week 9 so if you are following it I don't know. I did keep calmag at one tsp until recently. Ì am about 3-4 days ahead of you I think.
It could be your strain, double hybrid isn't it? Whatever is going on you'll bring it on home I'm sure!

JeffinCanada, Be Patient Man, your Girls look good. Don't pay much attention to the Breeders time frame recommendations. I feel like 65 or 70 days is usually for ideal, perfect conditions and environment. Seldom found by most of us .Auto’s Typically take at least 90 days for me. give or take a week. Depends on the strain, weather conditions…..etc..
I have experienced something similar in the past, and chalked It Up to unstable temperatures. In the winter sometimes I find it very hard to keep a consistent temperature, during the Dark Hours especially. Usually end up overthinking, over correcting light distance & nutes For an unconfirmed problem. Not helping actually making it worse in the long run.
The pictures look good, be patient, They will let you know if they need something extra.
I had a few plants with a similar problem. finally ended up just flushing them really good with plain water to make up for all the unneeded corrections I had tried. That seemed to help more than anything else to get them back healthy looking. I will look again, but from your pictures they look fine, Leaves start turning yellow towards the end.. You’ll know when they're ready for Harvest. Those last few weeks they can really kick ass, fatten up surprisingly quick. Plant some new ones to have ready & take their place, At Harvest. Just my opinion. Happy growing.

Hi Catfish22 Thanks for the reply. You could be right about the heat stress. Temp have been a little high, not crazy high but a little. It is possible. And you're right, who knows, maybe this strain is shy on the heat. I got my crash helmet on, seat belts fastened, gonna drive this plant home. It may not be pretty

YYCannabis Thank you very much for the reply. I think you may be right about the Nitrogen. With the burnt tips I'm a little gun shy to give it anything but maybe she is low on nitrogen. Maybe I'll push the flush back little and give it some. Thanks again!!

Hi FarmerJoe
Thanks a lot for posting. I really appreciate the words. I'm finding it very challenging to keep these plant healthy until the end. But I sure do enjoy it. I think your approach is wise. Take it slow, do nothing in a knee-jerk quick way. Tweek this, adjust that...over time we get better. I do put a lot of care into it and when a curve ball comes it's a wild ride when you're unsure as you go. It's very reassuring to hear from others who have been there. Thanks!

This is counter to the other posts, but I think your lights are too far away. I’d move them closer. And I would hit it with more nitrogen. I would sprinkle on the soil top and mix in your water powdered oyster shells. And a day after watering in that manner, I’d use a higher nitrogen fertilizer mixed half load with a half load bloom fert. The oyster calcium will allow the plants to eat the nitrogen and it will correct the deficiency. Closer lights will let photosynthesis occur faster and your buds will get fat. Just a thought based on the yellowing.

It's not all bad news....the buds seem to be fattening up a bit, getting frosty too. I'm still thinking about the burnt tips and yellowing leaves. It's always a roll of the dice (at least for me) trying to determine exactly what is going on and then act accordingly but I'm going with reducing the rooms temperature (I started up the room A/C- had it off all winter) and I am going to feed one more time. Then, keep it watered with just PHd water until the end. She's gonna look a little rough by the then I think but I'm feeling confident it's going to be worth all the love.

I think you might be too early cutting off her nutes. Those hairs say she needs more time. What do the trichs look like?
JeffInCanada
New member
YYCannabis Thanks! You could be right. I haven't check the trichs yet, I figure that I have at least 10 days left but it is a great point. I will check them. I also watch the seed bracts on the buds and watch for them to swell up (they do that even with no seeds inside) and they are still pretty tiny. So I think the buds probably do have a ways to go. You very well could be correct. But...what about the nute burn? (If that is what all of the burnt tips are) My way of thinking is if the plant is telling me that it's getting too much already why give it more? My way of thinking may be wrong of course Sure looks like it needs nitrogen too but I'm afraid to give it much.

Nute burn will not heal itself once it occurs. Is it progressing or is it stabilized? Sometimes we get focused on what is there and don’t keep track of it’s progression or stagnation.
I’d suggest to keep feeding her.

YYCannabis Great point about watching the progression. Honestly I am not sure if the tips are still getting worse or not. I'll watch them. And, I'm going to keep a close eye on the buds and trichs. If they look like they have some more time to go I will keep in mind that another feeding will be ok before the flush time. I feed it yesterday, we'll see what happens. Thanks so much!!

Same thing happened to me, I think it was light burn. My strain proved sensitive to light at other times. I had been slowly lowering my light every couple weeks into flower. At 100% I think I just got to close in the end. Either that or the Flower Power Girl I was using at the end may have contributed, but that’s lower on nitrogen. Those were my only changes. Up until then the leaves were fine.
The other option might have been my plants were just sacrificing those last fan leaves to put everything into the buds. Yeah I like that one...I’ll go with it.

She is looking a little rough around the edges...yellow all over. The burnt tips seem to be not getting worse and the buds are getting fat. Trichomes are mostly clear with some cloudy. I am still feeding her. We're getting close, I think that she'll survive until the end.

My thinking at this point is to remove all bottom leaf on each branch or did you in the 2nd pic? She could go longer than you think. Don't worry she's looking great tad yellow I think the CFL are the issues and it needs more sunlite spectrum. But she'll give you a decent harvest i'd be happy with.

Thanks SoOrbudgal I didn't remove any leaves between the 1st & 2nd pic...the pics don't really show it but there is good space between the leaves. Over the grow I have removed any lower leaves that were touching each other, in the way of bud sites or otherwise in the way. I am hesitant to remove more. My thinking is to leave them on the plant, to draw nutrients from if the plant needs them. I am terrible at the whole nutrient thing. The leaves are my safety net. You could be right about the CFLs (and removing the lower leaves). I'll have to look into the whole light spectrum requirements thing (man there is so much to learn growing this weed). I have grown with the CFLs before and I didn't get the yellowing and I do switch between different K values for veg-flower but I have to figure what happened so it could put me on the right track. Thanks again.
