I do hydro soo i know whats inside the"soil" and as long as there is food inside plant will stay nice and green. Maybe your soil is just empty by the end of the grow. I did 13 grow to this say only time i had change of color was when i was not feeding
Post a harvest pic pls. The reference will probably help the op too.

Fade is changing colour/darkening. A lot of his leaves are brown and dying. I do see it on a lot of autos but it's not how they are supposed to look
Actually I do kinda see where you're coming from looking at that picture. The top leaves on the buds are yellowing while they are green on the lowers. I need pic of the whole plant. I wonder if hes using UVB

My fastbuds original cheese autoflowers!!

yesterday the leaves started turning yellow! They are 67 days old since sprouting.. just wondering if this is just the leaves dying off or has something bad happened all of a sudden?

what y’all think!?
Can you please post a pic of each plant top to bottom?

He is at the end of flower his leaves look perfectly fine and normal for this stage. You can feed a plant that is at the end stages of flower a triple dose of nitrogen and those leaves will still fade in color.
Thats called overfeeding and your top leafs will yellow.

Nitrogen and magnesium are mobile nutrients soo if plant doesnt have enough it will kill leafs that dont work much usually shadow bottom leafs and send it top.same is when she has too much top will show yellow first because its getting the most

Not normal fade. Looks like the start of nute lockout. You're far enough along that it wont make a whole lot of difference. Finish her off and do better on the next.

Eh......not 100% true. I've had well fed plants turn many colors over the years. I also do hydro. I think a lot has to do with genetics more than anything.

looks pretty good for 9 weeks. Some fading leaves happen usually from the nuts you use. some more or less then others. My rule is min 10 weeks before chop. IF they don't look tired cut a few plants and let a few go a week or 2 longer to 12 weeks. I played around many times letting normal 8-10 week normal flower plants go 14-15 weeks no problem just to see. the added weeks sure did add bulk and final yeilds as u can imagined. I really recommend more then less weeks then anyone. I get it if newbe. good luck

Well i guess you made all your grows perfect.i know in organics end of year cold comes and bacteria goes to sleep soo yoursoil full of food is usless.but indoor with high temps its not supposed to happen.

I tried what you did relaxed but i cut my plant in half soo the bottom heads get fat and it did help a lot.man just needs a dedicated drying spot

Are you telling me that this is a result of lack of nutrients? I stick to my point that its mostly genetic.

Two phenotypes from the same genetics :

phenotype differences can be really pronounced with purple variety, especially when one doesn’t get the purple trait, lol. I’m currently growing a plant with two known/common and very different growth patterns, depending on what you get.

Really hard to guess weight, but they’ll shrink up quite a bit. Looks like you got trigger finger, which happens to most of us on our first grow. Next time, wait until most or all of the pistils have turned brown. Most of yours look white still. They will fatten up quite a bit and you’ll get more bags and more weight. And a better buzz. Enjoy what you got this go round. Wait longer next time. Trust the unified voices here. Ignore much of the confusing things you read.

If left one never was green as that right one,then yes genetics.if left one became like that at end of flower than lack of nutes

Different strains have different shades sativas usually lighter than indicas
Black domina has almost full black leafs anf somethimes even black buds
But no plant in world will decide to stop eating from roots and canibalise itselfe.what is that they are saving the planet for the next generation

No nutes,too cold,or ph.only reasons to stop eating

Ps check your right plant your bottom leafs have problem with genetics
