Hi!
This is my first post and my first grow.
Everything has been going really well but now that three of the four plants are almost done flowering 1 plant (lets call it SK1) has issues. See the photo:
Here's the story: I have four plants, started indoors on 4/20 (just worked out that way) along with my other garden veggies.
2 plants were Zkittles from ILGM, 1 was Wedding Cake also from ILGM and the last was Banana Kush from Pacific Seed Bank. All were feminized autos.
They were moved outdoors from around 5/15 until 7/2 when three of the plants (SK and WC) were pretty far into flower. On 7/2 we had a forecast for 3 days of heavy rains so I moved my three flowering plants back inside to finish off.
Starting and outside grow was just fine; plants were happy. Plants were grown in regular old organic Fox Farm soil with some perlite and vermiculite added in 5 gallon pots. Mycorrhizae was used when transplanting to the pots.
Plants were watered as needed; just when the soil was nice and dry an inch or two down.
Nutes included Fox Farm 6-4-4 Grow Big, kelp solution and silica during veg then switched to Bud and Bloom, Kelp and Silica during flower.
When I moved the three plants back inside, I just placed them under my 2 lights (2x 1000W Roleadro LED Grow Lights) with a fan going. The lights were kind of low, like 8" above the tallest buds. I switched over to plain water.
Soil PH is 6.8 and has been the whole grow.
The plants with issues (SK1) was in the middle of the two lights so it probably got a bit more light.
The other two plants both look fine; 1 is taller (SK2) and 1 is shorter (WC).
So, it seems the leaves on SK1 are turning brown in spots and drying out. I tested for rust fungus by scratching the brown spots and nothing came off; the leaf is just brittle and dry and kind of crumbled.
Looking at the buds of SK1 they seem fine / the same as SK2. Looking under a microscope both plants trichome's pretty much look the same. Both seem very close to harvest (I think! Id love other opinions!)

Anyway, sorry for the long post! I would love any thoughts on what's going on with SK1 and whether it's harvest time!
