i have started my flowering period for 3weeks now my plant was growing well the buds started to show i was really happy until i realize that my leaves at the top of the plant are turning yellow pretty face could someone explain that to me. also some of the white pistils from the middle of the plant are turning orange is this normal?

i am a beginner when it comes to growing its my first plant, 12/12 period for three weeks here are some pics.

hairs will turn in the middle of flowering from what I've heard they always are growing new ones and losing old ones? Are u using any nutrients? what is the temp in there?

im using two Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs). my pot size is 11.5 inch diameter x 9 inch height. by vegg you mean vegetative state if that so i did it for 1 and half month

plants grow much slower under CFLs. i would nute probably every 2 weeks. im sure that soil takes a long time to dry too especially at 72 degrees. i must say though, looks nice for a CFL grow. your hairs turning colors are normal as long as its not touching the light and burning it. the leaves could be a number of things. could be nute burn like you said but it dont look that bad. your soil ph could be a bit too low. you could mix a little lime into the top layer of soil to help balance it. also i've noticed my leaves sometimes look like that when the plant gets root bound. might need to transfer into a bigger pot. if i were you i would invest in a HPS. you clearly know how to grow and with a hps you get so many more lumens per watt and such a bigger harvest. you'll be paying more for electricity but it by far makes up for it.

ok @skiweeds but if i transfer the plant now because it is budding pretty much everywhere lol would that affect the growth of the buds at this stage. and thank you for your compliment. so lime juice should help regulate the ph of my soil

no it takes about three or four days for the soil to dry up. ima stop the nute feeding and flush it when it is in need of water.
