im not 100 per cent sure but too me it looks like nute burn (too much feed) but on the other hand as the plant gets closer to the finishing lines the leaves start dieing naturally because the plant takes the energy from the leave and uses it for the buds what is your ph like how much are you feeding them?

do a complete flush then lower your ppm looks like your plants got the claw bet your soil has bin staying wet longer so flush then once plants starts takin soil feed meaning soil starts to dry add half of your nutes kinda sucks dude you hit it to hard with nutes :-(

Flush 2 weeks before harvest... So flush now, If you look at the tricromes under a microscope the milky beaded (not clear) trichrome tops is a sign of good time to harvest. 50-75% Red hairs as well. The last 48 hours keep in darkness then proceed to chop, dry & cure. All the messed up foliage is from overfeeding and mabe even heat burn. Or the bud's not being dense could be from lack of light.. What kinda light are you using?

400 watt hps in a tent. the buds are dense, if you squeeze them their hard, just not very large. Im a total newb at any kind of growing, i did not even understand how to water a plant properly untill about half way through. AND as you can see my feeding skillz suck too. Im working on it, i just noticed my plant had a P def because the whole leaves curled and the ribs on them were turning purple overnight. so i gave them a extra large dose and now i see that thats not the answer, just a regular dose would have probably done her well.

Just follow a nutrient regimen. im a picky gardener so im crazy about every little thing i do, You being a new grower... Not so much picky. What is the day and night temperature? Its a combo of Heat burn & Nute burn id have to assume then. Put the lights 12-15inches away during flowering for the best palate and back off on the nutes right now. flush with 2x the size of the container size, so say its in a 2 gal flush with 4 gal of PH adjusted water every watering until you harvest. 20% of the final bud is produced in the last 2 weeks of flowering as well. shit homie, you may have a 8-9 week flower like most indica strains, giving you possibly 2-3 weeks more for flowering.

Yeah man, I had a similar problem. Don't give up. I was over feeding and burning with my lights. I solved it by giving full dose feedings every other watering. I take runoff PH samples every 2 weeks, if my runnoff is acidic, then I PH my water slightly alkaline to balance it until my soil runoff is around 6.5 again.

10 Weeks.. Tight! Get superthrive and add it to your 2 future waterings. just water and super thrive after the flush for 2 weeks, then back off with just water for the final 2 waterings... you should come out on top my friend with a superior tasting harvest!

Superthrive is a B- Vitamine Hormone, Just like milk.. PROMOTES BONES STRENGTH! In our case it promotes stem, foliar and flower growth up to 10% faster! Its good up until harvest i have been told. But why fuck around when your looking for the best palate, I like my weed like fine wine. The last 2 weeks like said 20% of the production of the buds. so it will be flavorful, I also leave the lights off 48Hours before harvest to make sure the trichromes have the jump start to maturity. ive heard a 1-5% THC Crystal development in that 48Hours aswell.

Yes... When drying and curing your buds as well, Keep them in COMPLETE ABSOLUTE DARKNESS. Light is the drying and curing buds worst enemy! When working in the pitch black dry room get a green compact flouro spiral or some shit. The green light is invisible to cannabis. The slower the dry the better the palate, My drying process is 4-6 weeks and very intricate. Some spanish growers wrap newspaper around there drying buds to protect them from the light. Light is just simply not good for super delicate trichromes!!!!!! Remember Trichromes develop in the dark cycle!
