What is up with this?

[xg907]

Okay guys, it's good to have this forum back online, and without any more drama! I still don't have any clue as to what really happened, and at this point, I don't care.

Now, onto my problem:

Recently (aka this afternoon) I noticed some dropping and yellowing leaves on my three female plants. I do not know what the cause of this was, so I figure I'll ask the masters and let them help me. There were also a bit of spots on some leaves, and I snapped a pic of that. I just did a bit of leaf trimming, in which I cut off the bad looking leaves and took a little bud sample, which is drying now.

Stats: In their 7th week of flowering under a 1000w HPS, these bogglegum girls are looking very appealing. I started "flushing" them today, and they will only get regular water from now on, no nutrients. I WAS feeding with Fox Farm's Tiger Bloom, Grow Big, and Big Bloom with every other watering. Lemme know what you guys think!


The pics: (I got kinda carried away and took a few budshots, but all the better, right? )

They look fine, dont worry about problems this late in flowering, they will probably color up a little more, but dont worry. The second pic from the top looks done. Plants do this a lot more with organics. You did a pretty good job trimming excess fan leaves you might as well get the ones covering the lowere colas too. Leave the leaves that are around 4-5 inches or less (unless they are covering up a cola) Get rid of the rest.

....yeah Diego......they look just about done to me....


get a magnifying glasss and check on how cloudy/milky the trich's look....

Yeah, like everyone said.. they are just getting near to the end of their life cycle.. They looks like they are just about ready for pickin too me.. Id say another week and your golden.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinkin too, another week and I'll be all smiles!


GN - good to see you're back and posting, despite the shitstorm. It saddens me that people feel the need to turn something as therapeutic and enjoying into drama and soap-opera shit. Keep it real, people, and stick to what we came here to do: grow chronic.

Okay, preachin' aside

I have one of those Radio Shack hand-held microscopes, and it's a bitch to use. I'm still trying to figure it out, and I've been at it for two weeks! Someone told me to stick to my camera pics to determine that, but idk if I can manage the super-close macro trich shots that usually determine that. I'll keep on tryin tho...

Any suggestions for the heat problem?

Diego - I'm gonna try and get one of those huge, old-school magnifying glasses and scope them out with that...you really think that second one is done, tho?

Okay guys, pic update time, if anyone is still following this

Some are of bud, some are of the whole plant, some are of my magnifying tools (which aren't working too well, might I add) and one is of some freakishly high temperatures. Comments appreciated.

BTW, I plan on taking these down within the next week, if I can ever get a real good look at the trichomes!
