What's your watering schedule like? Looks like they might be getting too much water. If not, then I wouldn't sweat it. I've had plants do that before for little things like cloning off of a plant in flower to vegging after flowering. The leaves aren't going to look pristine and perfect through your whole grow until you're an expert grower.



Oh no! Don't pluck fan leaves unless they're mostly yellow and dying anyway. If they're still green they will help fuel your plant. It's like the difference between a 12-cyl engine and a 4-cyl engine. That's like saying the 4-cyl will move the same car faster because with less weight from the pistons will make the car lighter. It doesn't work that way. Keep all your fan leaves unless they're dying.

Also, what SICC is saying about topping is true. I'm trying it on the first available plant that meets the criteria which should be in a couple weeks. I'm going to try Uncle Ben's technique. I can't wait. A lot of people on here have had good success with it.
They were mostly dead and quite damaged. I figured out the issue now after posting in the plant problem section. An abundance of Nitrogen is locking out other nutrients, I am now just watering with plain water with a pH of 6.3 . Ill just water with plain water for 2 weeks.

Just wanted to say good luck with the grow. Im not a grower unfortunetly, so I cant offer any sound advice like these other veterans can. :weed: But I really enjoy learning different things about growing and problems that may come and just learning about the plants in general so thanks for the good pics to go along with it. The close ups are awsome, really shows the detail and really helps to know how the crop is doing. 2 thumbs up!!

P.S. Oh, I was just curious....What is the benifit to switching to flowering early to determine the sex & then switching back to vegg instead of vegging until the sex is naturally revealed? Or is it just done in special cases like your were you want to get clones as soon as possible?

Well it takes quite some time for a plant to show pre-flowers in veg and to tell you the true I just dont have the time to wait. Also you need to have aq good eye for what the female pre-flowers look like. Its just easiest to flower them and revert them, or take a clone and flower the clone. Thanks for stoppin by.

Here are some new pics guys, no signs of sex yet. These plants keep having issues and are pissing me off. I think I make just flower these 3 and get the bud, I dont think they are clone worthy.

if these plants have been trouble and a pain in the ass, it might just be a better idea to bud them. As the clones would have all the same genetics, find a better strand thats easier for you to work with

Alright thanks for the advice guys, Im just gunna get the bud off these 3. It aint worth my time to clone them, plus I have like 20 GC seeds and only one plant is GC.
