I have a guerilla grow of 5 critical jack plants from dinafem. 4 are almost ok, they have some yellow leaves here and there but nothing to be concerned about. the fifth is losing almost all her leaves and dunno what to do (pic 13). I feed her like the other ones and she grows in the same condition. Don't have any ideas of what could be wrong with her. I tried adding more nitrogen to the nutrient mix but that didn't work. I also tried to increase overall nutrients but that didn't work either.Only thing i can do is keel plucking the dead leaves. anyone ever had this? peace :leaf:

Ok man i hope you're right :D still have at least 65 days to go... I also have some worm issues. They dig in some of the stems and not in the buds (for now) . I started spraying BT 2 weeks ago when flowering started. Should i go on or it might affect the budz ? i sprayed 2 times a week. Thanks guys.

yea plucking off the dead leavess has become routine for me now, Yellowing happened a bit earlier this year but i know why, and it was my own fault. No big deal, mistakes made lessons learned. But your plants fine, just keep plucking them as the come, dead plant matter is mold waiting to happen. Especially preflowers, im finding that the contributing source to most of my mold are the orinigal preflowers on the plant(you know, the single calyx and pistil, below your buds). Since they were the first to appear, they die off before the buds are done, and then easily trap water and caus mold, then spreading up your buds. Problem is these preflowers arent usually visible, being tucked away in the confines of 6 week old flowers, and therefore arent noteice until mold has set in.

Why was the yellowing leaves your fault ? if you don't mind me asking :) . Maybe i did the same mistake. btw i checked out your grow and it looks awesome. i wish mine were that late into flower. :weed: goddamn i'm losing my patience

i ran out of veg nutes, shortly before flower, so subsituted the bloom nutes i had already, rather than buy a whole new thing of veg nutes for the short amount i would've needed it. And i was also supposed to combine my veg and bloom nutes for the first week or so of flower. Instead i jumped right to bloom nutes, before flowering even hit. Bloom nute have very little nitro, in fact i feel too little nitro, especially for early flower. I plan in future grows, to subsitute in some nitro for early flower, with what ever nutes im using. and then quit subsituting it around 2-3 weeks flower

Yeah the yellowing and falling off is normal in flowering,if they didn't do that then we'd end up with bushy ass plants with small buds,the plant simply is creating room for bud growth and aeration,by harvest they will have barely any and thats good cause trimming can take fucking forever sometimes.
