Thanks for your replies people. But the thing is, the discoloration appeared before we started giving them nutes. We started giving them nutes because of the yellow discoloration of the lower leaves.

Hello fellow growers! We've just started growing some Northern Lights about three weeks ago. The lower leaves are starting to turn yellow and the outer tips of the leaves are drying out and withering. Is this normal or is it a sign of a deficiency? We've recently started giving the half...

The summer has been pretty hot the past two weeks or so. 30C outside and perhaps 33C inside the closet. We've since changed the on-hours to 1am to 1pm so it isn't so hot while the lights are on. Because of a tall plant the lights couldn't get further down without touching this plant. But now...

Cool, I'm not that unlucky then :). BTW, I finally managed to get a good look at the trichomes. I used the handheld 30x microscope and took a picture through it so I could see it on a computer screen. They've turned milky alright. I think I will be flushing them until they start turning brown...

We ordered White Widow seeds from Nirvana Seeds, and the receipt said White Widow as far as I remember, so I'm pretty sure they are White Widow. We germinated those seeds, and grew plants that didn't do very well (because of too much heat, not the right amounts and ratio of nutrients, lack of...

Thanks for your input all. I think I will keep flushing while taking a look at the trichomes frequently. I should add that these White Widows are clones from plants that haven't done so well. The grow room was way too hot because of the 400 W HPS lamp. For this grow we have added suction to the...

Hello all These White Widows have been flowering since May the 2nd - that's almost three months! - and yesterday I thought they were ready for harvesting because most of the pistils have turned brown. But today it's like some have turned white again and now I'm not sure. About 2 days ago I...

Thanks for your advice StinkBud. We will definitely be flushing them. Preferably for two weeks. If we're a little late then they might just get one week as we don't want the trichomes to get too dark before harvesting. Here's an update on the plants with pictures. They're getting fatter and...

I'm interested in knowing why you recommend feeding the plants nitrogen now. Because my plants look like that as well, a bit of yellowing on the leaves some have even withered. I've read that it's normal during flowering for the leaves to yellow and the plant to show symptoms of nitrogen...

Thanks for your advice all! This is our second grow so we still have a lot to learn but we'll follow your advice on waiting a few weeks and then start flushing for two weeks. We're pretty amazed that the plants turned out this way actually. Four weeks ago they didn't look like they would amount...

They look a little better now. Not perfect but they've gotten more green and less yellow. The strange thing is some of the leaves (most of them) are a healthy green color. Other leaves are more of a light green, others are more yellow, some are yellow and the tip of the leaves have withered and...

Ok. Thanks for the heads up! We'll let them grow grow more then. We've started giving them nutrients again about 4 days ago. I'm going to check on them today to see how they're doing and post some pictures later. Thanks for your replies everyone!

Yeah we're pretty happy with the plants. They look MUCH better than our last, and first, grow. We've finally got decent looking buds :) Hopefully the next grow will be better. We're germinating the Northern Lights seeds right now :) We're giving the plants 50 mL of "Bloom-Complex" per 10 L of...

Here's a picture of how they looked June 24th. As you can see, the leaves are a bit on the light green/yellowy side. They never quite got that really "healthy" looking green color that I expected. But it's good to hear that the unhealthy look is normal at the end when they don't receive...

Hello all My plants are just about ready to harvest. 1 or 2 more weeks to go I think. The problem is I'm not sure if they're as healthy as they could be. They have pretty large buds but some of the leaves are a light green/yellowish color and are withering just at the tip of the leave. Some of...
