Can anyone tell me what this is?

I didn’t realize it until I turned my plant around and started noticing some brown/copper color on my leafs, it only seems to be on two leafs.I backed off on the nutes awhile ago and flushed it and I don’t think it’s light burn. I’m not sure, but then again I am new at this. Also can anyone tell me if these still have awhile out or are they ready. I looked through the loop and saw some milky and no amber but a lot of clear as well. 3B9A9B30-86D3-4BE1-BA99-CEAA76553FA1.jpeg

This one didn’t get that big cuz I got hit by thrips and seemed to get stalky but it produced some dense small nugs, I’m hopping it swells alil more. 8060C239-5B6E-458C-BFBF-09DE0D8C3D66.jpeg

I'd say wait a few days anyway, need better pics to tell more.

Wait till it's finished.
Wait till it's dry.
Wait till it's cured.

Over feeding.

Your N is too high - dark green and shiny leaves. = Lower THC concentrations...

To really answer the question asked. Plants will finish just fine!

Next run, reduce the nutrients your feeding by 25%.

The N it's self may need even less in bloom. Wait till week 3 to reduce it though.

I'll bet your over doing the N in veg to start....

What are you using and how much, as a fertilizer

I’ve been using fox farm tiger bloom, grow big, and big bloom. I mixed 1/2 a tsp of each except for the big bloom I use 1tsp and mix it in a 3gallon container. The ph is about 6.5 after mixing and I only feed all three during veg and I cut the grow big once I see the white hairs. I only fed that plant once during veg and fed one more time during flowering.

Hmm, interesting.
What soil?

I see so many people have problems with that nutrient line.... Tried it years ago. Did not like it..

It can work fine but, I found the dial in to be more problem then it's worth...

Agreed, I’m using fox farm forest soil. Also I’ve been reading that autoflowers don’t need to be fed a lot of nutrients since they grow so fast but I was just trying to give it enough nutirents and feed the plants to make the buds bigger. I will back off next time and not give it anything with a lot of nitrogen and see how it goes, thanks for your help.

ocean forest is amended with fertilizers already so it compounds the overfeeding. you made the same mistake 99% of first time growers make. but you seem to have noticed it and corrected it and your plants look beautiful and you're on the right track.

i see lots of dank buds in your future.

btw i'd give em a few more days to a week. wait till you cant see any white hairs.

good luck!

Lookin real good:bigjoint:, all I see is a bit of overfeeding
please help me im in the states.
Sorry to hijack i need help

I believe this is a phosphorus deficiency? Strawberry fields soil till soil nutes ran out. 5 gallon pots. i noticed 2 fungus gnats stuck to two colas Out of the whole garden so i sprayed BT and cut off my co2 week 6, and i fed twice every other day root cleaner also that week. Cyco nutrients suggest 5.5-5.8 for soil. I changed it to 6.2 week 6. My other plants in week 3 are starting to show shades of purple. At night the temp goes down to 60-65 but no less than 60. ppms at first were 1200 per instructions but figuring it was cookies i dropped it to 1000. My gorilla glues and gelatos aren't turning purple but are fairly smaller after you guys help me with this i can show pics of those. No mites no pm. No overwatering. sometimes they point downwards on the Every other day which is feeding day. (the most purple leafs)(In some of the images) The GG and gelato in week 6 have no purple really in one of the pics. However, the GG and gelatos in week 3 do just a bit in 1 of those pics. Also the leaves at the bottom end up turning brown and dying at the very bottom of the plant under the net. Advice on how to fix? I may have pica of the GG and Gelato that are smaller.

advice on how to fix what? the purple leaves? lots of genetics will turn purple with 60F nights. its not a problem. doesn't look like deficiency to me personally.

however, i would never spray anything on my plants in flower, especially for fungus gnats as they go away on their own with proper watering habits... that fact that you had fungus gnats in the first place is a signifier of what i believe your true problem may be. although you say they are not overwatered, fungus gnats and yellow droopy leaves are telltale signs.

but overall they look fine. leaves dying on the bottom of the plant is not a horrible thing, suggests plant is moving mobile nutrients to the top of the plant so you're not overfeeding.

imo, i would let em dry out a bit more between waterings. keep hittin em with some 1/4 or 1/2 strength nutrients. and they'll finish up fine.

click my journal in my sig to see how purple/brown/yellow my leaves get on flowering plants. and those flowers will come out dank AF

So fungus gnats can also be attracted to co2 which i run. After further inspection last night on one specific plant i see less then 10 dead ones stuck to the thriches now the plant in ? Does not have purpling. But the buds are fairly small. I know this because my blue cookies is a cookies and should never outgrow gorilla glue or gelato lol. Now on this specific plant the lower growths bear clawed down which isnt so much overwatering i think i could be wrong. The only time this one plant was overwatered was last week week 6 after feeding i saw the gnats so put a little more water right after with root cleaner for the larva. sometimes i go out there on the every other day when feeding is due and its a slight wilt and point downwards meaning they need to feed. Maybe the underwatering just by a slight is causing the brown dead leaves at the bottom? i have since adjusted ph starting week 6 to 6.2. How do i get the budgrowth on the non purpling plants where i feel at this stage is too small. Ive been growing 6 years always careful what i spray in flower never ever had issues that come with it. Last grow i had the same purpling and it affected the nose. My curing and drying is on point i stay at 60 degrees the whole way through. SLow dry. But by week 5-6 from last harvest i speak of the nose was non existent. That was a cookies and cream strain. Heres pics of the plant i speak of. Some purpling actually. 75 with lights on. Never have pm issues. Humidity is typically lower but it has rained this week. When lights come on it drops to 43. I run a dehumidifier in there.

Oh and another question. In week 5-6 the only plant with the gnat problem stopped doing that reaching for light effect where they point upwards. Does that stop late flowering or is my garden not happy? Ive noticed veg or flower if you avoid your plants showing sign of thirst after the first time you saw it and followed up with two new waterings on point and on time they started doing that again pointing to the light. One watering wouldn't but the second one days later would. If that makes sense.

i'm slightly confused with all the details. and since this is a separate thread, in your case i feel it would be best to start your own thread in "marijuana plant issues"

include all your growing details
especially your medium
your lights
and your nutes
and describe your overall routine.
and what specific questions you want answered.

to me the purpling and the yellowing seems genetic and happens during a process called senescence, i wouldnt worry about it.
the darker green plants look a bit overfed, i wouldnt worry to much about that either.

i think your plants look fine man.
