its a pretty common thing for the fan leafs on a cannabis plant to start turning yellowish. Not during veg, but during flowering this is a pretty common thing that 90% of growers experience during flowering.

Nothing to worry about really.. I wouldn't worry about it personally. But then again, that's MO.

peace.

If the trichs are how you want them, chop the plants. Some strains dont yellow as fast as others

its to my understanding that once your plants are mature and used to nutrients, they depend on them, so when you start to flush you see yellowing because they dont have the same nutrients they were expecting, meaning its using the water, hence, cleaning itself of nutrients.

The yellowing plant means that the plant is now in deficiency of all the nutes, your not feeding it anymore so there for it discolors, alot has to do with the Nitrogen, N is what promotes chlorophyll which is the GREEN color in plants. You flush so that the plants are clean of NUTES before harvest. Also you should cut in the dark before the plant wakes and starts processing nutes to the canopy of the plants. If you are running ORGANIC NUTES some say you dont need to flush, BUT If you are running CHEM nutes than you need to flush by all means. Hope this helps. Haze

Two weeks is the norm for flushing... The yellowing is from a lack of N. Just because it does not turn yellow that does not mean anything.

Also like many people think that when you stop using nuts the plants use up all the stored, this is not true. the plant can not absorbe all the nutes that are stored in buds/leaves/roots so you can flush for 2 months but you WILL still have nuts left in the plant, this is the reason MOST people flush for about 2 weeks because anymore is "kinda" but not completely pointless and anymore and you usually have funky tasting bud, this also depends on your ferts. Also MG nutes DO NOT leave a harsh taste, that is just when people use WAYYYY to much during the plants entire life than tries to flush everything and the plant can just not do that this is the reason for the funky taste it has nothing to do with the actually fertilzer it self.

Was not off the top of my head it was in high time awhile back. It is a known fact that the plant does not equally pull fertilizers from different parts of the plant at the same rate.
