Fan leaves dying during flower.

Hey guys... I'm fairly new to growing the magic herb, I've had a few successful harvest previously, and I've got one plant goin right now, not sure on the genetics 100 percent, its a strain from a local dispensary. Anyways, I've been using FoxFarm Happy Frog soil, as well as FF Grow Big and Big Bloom with a 250W HPS light on 12/12 for awhile, not exactly sure on what week I'm on. I know it's normal for some yellowing of the fan leaves as you get closer to harvest, but the buds don't look quite ready yet and a lot of the fan leaves are dying/turning brown. Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch!

How many weeks into flower are you? Those buds look like they are getting close but probably a couple more weeks. Anyway, its normal for fans leaves to die in late stage flower and this happens in some strains more than others but your buds look dank so I wouldn't worry too much.

That's not normal. It looks like you have a pretty hefty deficiency. During flowering plants use a large amount of phosphorus. Based on the leaves curling under and turning yellow and necrotic it looks like you might have a phosphorus deficiency. Do a Google search or run to a Boarders (book store) and check out the symptoms of different deficiencies and try to treat them. Good luck.

thanks guys, not sure what week it's on. I'll look into the phosphorous deficiency. I figured it was probably something nutrient related. The strain is called "Hawaiian Poni" for whatever that's worth.

You won't be bringing that back to health anytime soon. The chance to fix it passed weeks ago by the looks of it. I feel your pain. :(

They are too far to fix the fan leaves but your plant should stay alive/finish if you get it the right nutes. Give it a good flush and trim all the dead.

You will have some quality smoke no matter what!

Good luck

Same thing happened to my Purple Urkle but it was from Over Nuting. I had no idea you were supposed to alternate from Fresh Water and Nute water till after i chopped her down. My Leaves looked just like yours But whatever it is good luck
