When leaf yellowing is normal

[Chemichael]

Here is a pic of blueberry auto. She's been getting fed ff nutes. Big bloom tiger. Grow big. Also calmag. She popped out of soil on 9/22 meaning she's 8 weeks on Thursday. I'm thinking this is ok but want to make sure. Also pic of main cola bud. Really fattening up over the last week. No idea what to expect. Another week at a min the start checking trichs. Thoughts?

First off, they look really really good. Lower leaves yellowing would be a lesser concern than if it was upper fan leaves yellowing. Probably only a month or so left for you, so I think it is normal for a few lower leaves yellowing.

I'd inch the nutrients up a little, particularly N. 8 weeks from seed I'd say you're probably still early in flower and while it's normal to lose lower leaves in flower, this early I'd want to make sure it's not a deficiency. 2 cents...

shes an auto - and if im not mistaken- should be done week 10- since they say 8 weeks- add 2 for YMMV. If longer I dont care- but she has a mind of her own if you know what I mean

I only noticed yellowing leaves in the last 2-3 weeks of grow. Maybe you over watered a little , every mistake shows up. :-(

this is the last 2-3 weeks of grow

Great it's shutting down to give you bigger buds!

Your plant and buds look beautiful!

As far as the yellowing leaves at the bottom, have you been checking the pH of your water? The pH being too high or too low at the roots is the number one reason to see nutrient deficiencies.

I'd say you have several few weeks left before harvest, which means that the buds are going to get a lot bigger! They're developing very nicely so far!

Im watching closely. I think my girls want to drink. I gave them a good watering a few days ago - the pots are light- and while I dont want to overdo it... I am thinking maybe they need more food! My runoff is clear- and im not testing PH this round- in NY we have some of the best water in the country hands down. my short research leans towards that not being the issue- since I have 10 other girls- they are not showing any issues with PH and all get fed similarly.

I am hoping that 2 weeks will shut down the blueberry with the critical47 shortly behind. I swear overnight they grew and got fatter- and sucked even more green from the leaves.

I know defoliation is a hot topic also- im thinking maybe those extra fan leaves would have helped right now- since they pull nutes from them as well.

Killer trichomes, you must be doing OK.

When I saw the heads on the trichomes last night I knew I was in for some paydirt. wish I had a better photo

Your plants look good!!!!!! ✨ If the yellowing keeps spreading you should probably check the PH though 👌 Pretty pretty trichomes!!!!
