Getting close, worried about yellow tips on sugar leaves!

[sp838]

Hello everyone, happy Friday! So a couple weeks ago I took the advice about -not- harvesting and I'm very thankful and happy I didn't. But now, just as the plant really seems close, it's started to get yellow tips on some if the sugar leaves. Worried, I want to be closing out on a good note. Details below. Thank you!!!

Bruce Banner Auto in Promix HP
13.5 weeks since planting
Fox Farm, Cal Mag, water phed to 6.5-7
Soil ph is low - around 6.1 but I have found pockets as low as 4.9

Also the oldest and lowest fan leaves have turned yellow and started to shrivel. I have been feeding very low N for the last few weeks.

Thank you!!!

I don't grow autos but this is normal for photoperiod seeds. Senescence is kicking in telling you harvest is soon.

Ok great thank you! That's a relief. I was more worried about the tips turning yellow on the bud leaves than on the older fan leaves... So just keep on keeping on then?

It's an auto so I don't have a lot of experience with them but if it's something other than what I said please chime in....

Was planning on watering with dolomite lime tomorrow and no other nutrients... Is there anything else I should do / keep in mind? Thanks again, you have all been amazing.

Trimmed these, the worst looking / definitely dead ones. There are a few more that will be in the same state soon but not actually withered yet so left them on for now.

@Edinburg you are a fan of the autoflowers, would love to know your thoughts too

I taught myself to grow autoflowers for a few different reasons, 10 years ago it was illegal to grow or possess weed in my state and was not set up to grow photoperiod plants, did not want to get caught and autos finish fast and do not smell nearly as bad though there are a few exceptions, once I got the hang of it I bought a California light works bloom booster greatly increasing my yield and ran them perpetually, then my state went legal and you can only grow 3 plants and that was what I was doing anyway, my needs are very small so I just kept going, a 3 plant photoperiod grow is not worth it for me bc I'm careless about the lights and I can run 3 grows of autos in the time it would take me to run 1 grow of photoperiod plants, I really learned to grow outdoors but I live in a city so that is impossible and illegal, but lately I have been slacking off bc I can walk 3 min to the weed guys, buy an 1/8 for $20 dollars and be good for over a month bc I don't smoke every day maybe once a week and have no tollerence so after 3 puffs on a joint I put it out and am thoroughly baked, now it's cheaper to just buy weed than to grow it but I never really thought this shit hole state would go legal so I bought many seeds and I will grow them till there gone I guess. Now I see allot of folks growing autoflowers so I'm trying to pass along a little knowledge as 10 years ago autoflowers were a novelty that people thought would go away and not many places even sold autoflower seeds, and if they did it was 3 or 4 strains that was it. That is why I listed all my strains and am willing to trade if anyone has something I want.

Thank you @Edinburg ! I chose auto for my first grow for a lot of the same reasons, mainly lack of space in a city apartment to do photos and though it's legal, need for a small discreet plant.

Noticed some new symptoms: yellow spotting along the veins of the rest of the fan leaves. The good news is I'm not seeing these spots on the bud "sugar leaves".

Is this also normal as the plant ripens and I stop giving it extra N? Or is this something to worry about? Last water+feed was on Sunday, will be due for at least water probably by Friday. She's drinking a lot and the pot is pretty full of roots. Thanks again everyone!!!

First that multi colored leaf is a genetic deformity, next I see your plants are outside, looks like maybe you have some sort of pest? This can happen bc autos are not very hardy, a bit of de earth may clear that up, if not pests check your ph I have never seen a leaf like that but could possibly be some sort of deficiency? Often late in flower autos yellow up a bit, but one time I made a mistake and put an autoflower next to my houseplants and they got thrips, so even if they were outside for a short time it's long enough for them to pick up something, but to me they almost look like something laid little eggs on them, if not some sort of pest I would ask Aquaman as he is very good at identifying deficiencys,
