These are outdoor purple kush plants in soil on a patio. the leaves keep yellowing and getting brown spots before eventually dying. I already pulled off a TON of leaves.

I did have a caterpillar problem which I think I took care of. Since these were clones, Im pretty sure they went into reveg for a while too. Is it possible that the lower parts of the plant didn't reveg, b/c some of those buds look like they're ready...

Thanks for any insight...

first off, fight the urge to pull off dying leaves. unless they are completely separated from the plant, leave them on there. your plant is going to extract nutrients from these leaves even as they are dying, so until they are completely dead and fallen off, theres no need to pull them off. offhand, it looks like a rather serious nitrogen deficiency, possibly even underwatered. feed em

nitrogen def.

how far into flower are you?

thats probably b/c of them going back into reveg...god damn it!

about four weeks into flower. although, as i mentioned, some of the lower buds seem to ready now. need to take peep with the scope tomorrow.

Damn joe! They looked fine two weeks ago?!? What happened?

 

[californiajoe]

im guessing it has to do with probably running on flowering nutes during re-veg. a lot of the damage was done my those pesty caterpillars. dug two of those turds out of a cola today. gonna spray neem and bt tonight. i don't think there are that many left, but i thought they were all gone. also pulled out a disgusting cocoon. hope this shit doesn't get moldy.

How fast do they infest the plants? I mean, if you looked at them twice a day, would you still end up with them? Sounds like they suck. Take pictures!

(I'll see you at the Stanley Clarke gig!)

looks so stressed, youve been feeding them at all? i would try flushing, get ph on point then start from there with some veg nutes

Its all good, just give them some N. The new growth will be fine.

Reveg plants will throw out mutant leafs for a bit that will eventually die off and this is nothing to worry about.
