First auto. Gelato Auto auto day day 67 and week 6 in flower. Pretty sure I'm close to harvest but still clear trichs but getting a lot of yellow leaves. I'll still been feeding every other watering. Is this much yellowing leaves normal for a fade ? Is this plant done and the trichs aren't going to get amber ? Lots of white pistals still near the bottom and green. I've heard some autos trichs never turn then people end of rotting out buds waiting. Wondering if I should keep on keeping on or if this grow has run its course?

As the plant ages it will move mobile nutrients to areas of greatest need (bud sites) since it’s easy to redistribute the nutrients as opposed to acquiring more. If a bud needs more N the plant will take It from the older fan leaves. So the “fade” won’t be a uniform yellowing (like your plants), bur rather the colas should stay green while the older leaves yellow.

You’ll notice that these plants are generally green. But some fan leaves are being “scavenged" for nutrients, yellowing, and dropping off.

what size bags or pots are the plants in??

It's in a 3 gal fabric pot ( probably could have went 5) . I give it 12ml of tiger bloom and 9 ml of cal/mag per gal every other water which works out to about every 6 days ( watering when the pot feels light about every 3rd day) My last grow I over fed and the general consensus less is more so I cut back a lot this time. I bought a new light (VS3000) and have been struggling to get the temp down , been high in the 80s so you are right about the temps. Maybe now I have been under feeding and the temps being too high.

Well loosing leaf like this is never good. How many MJ plants do you have growing and are they autos or photoperiods? You say this is a auto? Did you top this one multiple times? By now you outta know those temps really need to come down and giving it watering and feeding more does not help when it's already sick and weak. Just let it run it course give less ferts and lift the pot to feel weights of dry and wet. This late in the game for a auto rarely changes the over all health of stems and branches.

only one auto I have growing and this is the first I've tried. I have 2 other photos in another tent with much better conditions ( temp , Humidity etc) I feel like this did real well when I first put the new light in but then had started going downhill. I didnt top this at all as it was my first auto and wasn't sure how it would go yet. For sure temps are too high. I want to get some use from that light so I'm going to try again when this is done but I know the temps are too high. So you think this is a result of that as well ?

If you've stopped feeding for a while now then yes (besides environmental factors) you can say autumn has come to your garden. Fans, etc. are cannibalizing themselves blah blah . . . At this point you look pretty close. I doubt any nutrient problem matters now. Move on to looking at your trichomes under a loupe so you can decide when you're ready to harvest. You'll be okay. Your leaves don't show issues, stage of growth🌲

Keep it going is what i'd do, like i was saying in the prior comment. You'll get some bud.

12 ml tiger and 9 ml calmag is incorrect and way too much!

I read "tiger" a few times. Tiger Bloom? If so then your 2ml above FFs feeding schedule. If you start feeding twice a week instead of once you get into trouble. Also as your flower weeks go by the dose goes from 10ml to 5ml.

I'm assuming Foxfarm and if it is, their Trio is well balanced and needs little additives. Don't try to tweak it!

Fair enough. This grow coming up I'll stay on the FF schedule. I have never got the trip all at once but have used them all separately. I have 2 seedlings starting right now so I'll be on it. Thanks for the help. I haven't done shots before so it's all knew to me but I want Indian this in Becasue I like the timeframe they finish compared to photos

Because with autos you must decide when to flip, and they come in faster, just adjust the schedule to fit. You treat autos just like photos.
