Northeast temp issue

[Chisan]

Greeting All

I live up in the north east where we just flipped into the fall season. I’m in my third week of flower outdoors. My plant is a bubba kush in a fabric pot and a lot of my leaves are yellowing and the tissue is dying at the ends then falling off. I was wondering if that could be because of the temperature change up here and if I can do anything to possibly keep it warmer.

It's not a temp issue. I live in Vermont, and my plants are fine with the dropping temps. This morning it was 41 F when I woke up. Your plants are going all in on their buds, at the expense of your fan leaves. Normal to have some yellowing of leaves.

Yup, its totally natural for the big fan leaves to turn yellow and eventually die off when your plants are flowering.

Thanks alot.

The leaves often turn yellow during flowering, especially in Sativa strains. If it happens shortly after going into flowering, it might need a small bump of nitrogen. I usually don't see yellowing until about week 8. On the other hand, too much nitrogen can mask this from happening. It's the plant pulling nutrients and energy from the fan leaves, which is needs to grow large buds and seeds. You will be fine but the addition of a little more nitrogen is a controversial decision. Common trends are to go easy on nitrogen during flowering to keep the chlorophyll levels down to some degree. In growing, everything is about a balance. Like the 3 bears... you want the nutrient levels that are "just right"!
Keep up the good work. The temps won't have much of an effect until you get into the 30s and you might see some purple showing up on the plants and buds. Cold temps tend to do that with some strains.

2 of my outdoors are 80% yellow. I’m guessing I’m two weeks from harvest they look and smell mucho!!

If you're only in your third week of flowering and your plants that yellow you might want to consider feeding it ?

I guess I overlooked that this was only the 3rd week of flowering. I normally flower for 10-14 weeks and get yellowing starting around week 8. I have to agree that perhaps they needed a little more nitrogen before they got to this stage. With that said, the plants look good but probably won't fatten up too much if you are getting ready to take them down. A small snack wouldn't hurt things, although it might cause excessive bud structures (but not necessarily more trichomes). You did a pretty good job and gained a little more knowledge... next grow you will avoid the same mistake (and hopefully not replace it with another!) The weather controls most stuff in that area, so you can't go much longer anyhow unless you go indoors. Great Job!

Looks like more of a nutrient and strain issue rather than temp. Probably lacked NPK throughout the cycle and now she’s really fighting to produce flowers. I would top dress with NPK. Yes yellowing leaves is naturally occurring toward fall. But those look way too yellow for the size of buds on there. Is this from seed or clone?

 

[Chisan]

Thanks guys, I have been feeding her...the only change was switching over to bloom nutes during the first week of flower. She gets sun all day tho it has been very windy here. Here are some pics I took today.

We know LOL that's why she's so yellow! I feed strong veg nutrients for the first month if not longer in flower, switching to bloom nutes as soon as you start 12 12 cycle is a common mistake, you're going to have more than yellowing, you'll be struggling to keep leaves on her within a couple more weeks, I'd recommend you feed her something NPK balanced, good luck

Ahh so switch to bloom nutes after the first few weeks of flower. Yea I fumbled the ball on that part...dammit. My buds arent that big but the sugar looks cloudy is that normal? Or is she already done with flowering?

 

[Beachwalker]

Not close to done, she doesn't look bad probably seeing some calcium spots tho, I would feed it a 20-20-20 or something along that line but that's just what I would do, other people may do differently, at least there's some nice weather up here in N.E. for the near future the girls will love it good luck

Edit: the girls down the beach I mean :-) LOL

 

[Chisan]

Roger that. Thanks!

Hi Chisan! I too am in the North East. Im right on the Canadian/NY border. Your plants look about same paced as our outdoor girls. We dont have the amount of yellowing as you do and I would suspect it is a slight Nitrogen def at this point but the plant doesnt really need much Nitrogen if any at all during the final weeks of our outdoor season. I would follow the advice of those on here and give it some bloom spectrum of sorts. You could also top dress with some well composted compost to give it a good snack of Nitrogen if you have that resource.

Best of luck and keep us posted. I really enjoy seeing us northerners produce some quality dank despite having a shit growing season this year :)

I am in the same area as you. I will take the advice. I am growing outdoors also I love it. I will def keep you guys posted.
