Is this natural??

I posted around the 10th Sept as advice on 'How long left', I was told 2-3 weeks. However this is the girl now. Is the leaf colour a natural process of diverting energy to the buds?? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

It looks to me as if it is a lil hungry. When did you stop nitrogen? You really need to provide more information or your only going to get guesses of what it could be. Are you In soil? What temps are you maintaining? Relative humidity? Organic or synthetic? Lighting changes like increased, decreased, distance? Feeding schedule? Age of the plant? Auto or photo?

Have u continued to feed her ? Particularly P & K? She’s def wanting more, IMO.
Depending on your grow style, you could mix up a nice organic tea (if you’re growing organically).
Otherwise, feed her whatever you’ve been using for bloom. She’s getting close and I don’t see the buds being impacted negatively…..but a nice boost now could get her across the finish line.

She looks good brother! The plant is in the end of life stages soon and will completely die if you do not harvest her. The yellowing and dying is natural. Hell yeah!

Without knowing more, I would guess. From the look of your plant. Your still putting out white pistols and the brown pistols have yet to shrink back into the bud. I will also guess you stopped nitrogen too early, thus the plant is eating whatever nitrogen is left in the leafs. Thats only a guess. I'll let others look and see what they think.

Thank you. I will try my best. I only use like multi purpose soil. The temps average 75-80 during lights on and 70 in dark. Humidity is 45-50%. Lighting has been 18-6 throughout. Led light sf1000 (approx 50cm away due to height restriction) It is an Auto(Sadly I had 2 strokes and cannot recall when I planted but think Early may) Just feeding Miracle grow liquid feed every water(Usually every 5 days as the soil doesnt dry that quick) and topped with Big Bud P and K at 1% - 3%(Started this 2 weeks into flower).Still feeding Miricale grow.

Almost 4 months would be about right for auto. At this point stop all feeding as it will not change anything. What is yellow is done helping the plant. Try to baby it along. Keep temps low and don't increase lighting. Looking at your buds, if you see any sugar leafs dying and turning brown cut them off before they die in the buds. That should keep you from getting bud rot. It will still produce good bud just be careful and make sure you have good airflow to avoid mold/bud rot. Cut back on water due to it being natural that the plant nearing the end will drink less.

Looks a bit more faded than usual could be lack of nutes or problems with them. They do look like what I tell myself up to two weeks to chop given I had to look twice to see some of those white hairs.

Nice job! Looks nice reminds me of my hairy smoke I once had was nice. I think those long hairs are natural they dont always tuck back in.

Thank you and thank for the compliment. Great advice from all on here.. Looking forward to try it.

I’ve grown a long time, although most it was outdoors yrs ago……but IMO autos are more challenging. You obviously got the veg stage perfect or your plant wouldn’t be as large. With autos I didn’t like the fact that any bump in the road during those first 3 weeks could derail your entire grow. So I gave up autos, although I may try another at some point.
Anyway, I would keep feeding and let her go for another week or 2…..preferably 2. Don’t fret over the yellow fan leaves. You don’t smoke them and they have to come off anyway.
I would remove any leaves that are dead or really close. You don’t want them dying back into the body of the buds. Snip em and toss.
Otherwise, you’re solid for a nice harvest.
One last thing…..I wouldn’t wait and wait for more amber trichomes. It’s been my experience along with many others that some autos (and some photos as well) simply don’t go amber easily. You risk losing the terps that make this weed so enjoyable.
Good luck with your health……and I hope this mj provides you with some good medicine.

Thank you so much for a reassuring reply. I have took advice from you all re the leaves. Especially the sugar leaves browning. Again I thank you
