Flowering fade....

7th weeK.....I agree, flower fade. All good and natural the nearer to harvest you get. If your girls weren't so mature I'd suggest that they look a little deficient in potassium. I get that from the leaves in your second pic. The yellowing starts on the outside edge of the leaf and makes it's way to the center.

That’s why I hate how they break the nutrient lines up. Feeding a solid one part nutrient is better imo your plants stay healthy from start to finish.

That plant is nowhere near ready and definitely shouldn’t fade like that.

What is a good one part nutrient to get? This is just my second grow.

An Auto in its 7th week is two weeks or less from harvest. OG Kush Autos can be harvested as late as 10 weeks or 65 - 70 days depending on your grow. So it can easily start to fade. Beware of one word or one sentence answers that contradict but don't state the reason. You are correct. A couple weeks to go.

My Jack Herer is the plant on the far right. Below in the 2nd picture is the same plant. Plants will fade and sometimes even the leaves turn different colors. He is getting close to harvest in a couple weeks. His plants photo or auto will show some leaf discoloration a few weeks from harvest.

The plants in my first pic are just beginning to start their fade. This is the same plant in the middle in the first pic above. This pic was taken 2 weeks from harvest.

? It shouldn't fade as it nears harvest. ? These forums are full of sideways hat dudes who think anything with a weed plant on the bottle has some magic to make giant kong buds! They all claim to have the best formula for growing giant buds with amazing yeilds!!! If any of that manure was true they would ALL use the same formula would they not? NPK is just that. And it is not expensive to make or to get. A good soil has everything in it you need until flowering. Go ahead and encourage new growers to spend money on expensive crap ( but oh don't that bud on the bottle look huge! ) when in fact brand names mean nothing. In the flowering stage chances are you're paying big bucks for pottasium and phosphorus. You're paying top dollar for molasses and kelp. Salting the hell out of your medium to boot. That is why so many "Well Known Members" on these forums have to flush the hell out of their grows. Too much salt from too much of everything. Take a grain of that salt when you read advice from the so called experts. Your girls look good.

I flush once the entire grow. Usually around week 4-6 in flower, depending on the flowering time of the strain. I probably don't even need to honestly, but I like to do it to give the soil a nice little cleaning so the roots can uptake easier.

I agree. I don't use bottled nutes at all. I stop top dressing and no more molasses or kelp. Just ph'd tap water for the last two weeks as well.

You obviously need to learn to read plants better. If you look at the op’s plant it has yet to even fill in properly. The problem with a lot of you guys is the fact y’all go by too many exact time frames when too many things affect the end result.
