Leaves turning yellow.. help!

[tico0r]

All the leaves are turning yellow. Other strain is turning purplish and shriveled. Is this a sign of the ending state? Deficiency? Any idea on how long I have left? I will try to take some clearer pix of the trichs soon. What happens if you give the plant to much nitrogen during the whole flower state?

are you flushing them?

What day of flower, and what strain? The yellowing is probably the bud's removal of nitrogen from the leaves...that's a normal event.

what are your temps like? sounds like it may be getting a tad bit too cold...

grab 1 of these also http://www.radioshack.com/search/in...ated microscope&origkw=illuminated microscope

to inspect the trics i'll take the very tip a snipit of tric covered leaf from top mid and bottom of nug in question. place these snipits on white paper and use the microscope to inspect, keep in mind uppers finish before lowers so if your not pressed for time take the tops when ready and leave lowers 1 wk longer. or just cut the whole plant @ 1 time like me and manyothers do lol, remember to use plain PH'd water no ferts added the last 10-14 days of life before chop. when you think its flushed good cut a leaf chew the stem. if its bitter tasting water few more days untill the leaf tastes like water itself and not bitter.

On the topic of nitrogen, I found an article showing that nitrogen is the main factor in plant respiration. So ideally, if you keep your plant small while giving it a good amount of nitrogen, preferably from urine because it's free and not attached to anything, you will have a very potent plant because most of the energy to metabolise chemicals in the plants will be more in the flower as opposed to leaf and stems which by their thicknes shows they use a lot of energy.

It also stated that plants do their respiration at night by using oxygen. now this can be used to make the plant potent also if you leave it in complete darkness for a while while still feeding it urine contained nitrogen.

This night respiration can be the reason why plants really have a powerful smell early in the morning.

Here's an article on the nitrogen:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/01/060126191418.htm

"But when Reich studied 500 plants in 43 species, he found that a plant's weight and its respiration rate are directly related: the heavier the plant, the more it respired. The key to metabolism rate, he found, was the element nitrogen. The more nitrogen a plant contained, the more it respired, and the more carbon dioxide the plant emitted. And, plants containing the same amount of nitrogen respired the same, regardless of their sizes."

Here's an article on urine being used for fertilizer:
http://www.wecf.de/cms/articles/2005/09/maize_urine.php

"In spring 2005, the urine of the schoolchildren - after sceptization through storing - was used as a fertilizer on a maize field of the local medical doctor. The doctor is extremely satisfied with the results. Urine is an excellent fertilizer. The quality of the maize which had been given urine was much better than the maize which had not been given urine. A report for the Millenium +5 Summit by the Stockholm Environment Institue estimates that Africa can be completely self-sufficient in fertilizer if it starts re-using the nutrients in human urine."

"And it’s that nitrogen, Powell says, that is making all the difference. In studies with soil scientist Michael Russelle, who works in ARS’s Plant Science Research Unit at St. Paul, Minnesota, Powell is finding that plants’ nitrogen uptake is 35 to 50 percent higher in plots where heifers are corralled than in plots where barn manure is simply spread."
