Yellowing in flowering is normal... but this much?

[spencetron]

One of my plants is 7 weeks into flowering, she is in a 1 gallon pot in coco coir and was fed lucas (h3ad's) formula. I cut the nitrogen out about a week, week and a half ago and I'm going to start flushing tomorrow. But I'd say 60% of the plant is yellow. I know that a little yellowing is normal in flowering, but it just seems to be excessive. From my estimation, she only has another week or two left but I don't know how much worse the yellowing will get. I will post pics in the morning.





What do you guys think?

How much longer does it need to flower for? If only 1-2 weeks, its completely normal

Good job on a well flush

The plant is bagseed from some pretty decent stuff, and this is my first run with her. So I don't know the exact time this strain finishes. I can only guess that she will be another week or two based on her growth so far.

Oh ok, I wouldn't be worried, you flushed very well

Get a microscope to view the trichs to determine your harvest date

Good luck

This is a Venomhead right before the chop ... I had to basically kill her to get her to finish ... she just kept putting on flowers/weight. I'd say your plant is doing fine and finishing up nicely.

Nice plant weedman. This has put me at ease about this plant. I'm going to stop by radioshack tomorrow to get a pocket microscope. I tried using the macro setting on my 8.2 mp digital camera, but it was rather hard to tell. From what I can tell trichs are mostly cloudy some clear, no visible amber yet, few pistils are completely orange, and most of the pistil tips are turning orange. She has a little way to go, I'm still pretty new to growing so I'm still unsure about her development.



That is the closest, clearest view of the buds I could get with my camera w/ magnifying glass. The burn on the top is from one of the lights.

I can't tell by a picture but when you get the microscope, you will know when you want to harvest

what is your ph

what is your ph

I have kept the ph right around 5.8-6.0 the entire grow.

Oh....thats really low for a soil grow

Soil pH should range from 6.4-6.8

I'm using coco coir man.
