Newbie here..... trichomes and yellow leaves

[sassydaniels]

So PG, yes I named them , is just about to week 7. Breeder says 8 weeks seed to done. She has started getting alotnof yellow and i was wondering it that was just from the bud sites pulling nutrition or if I have a deficiency. Any thoughts? Ph has been an off and on problem that I figured out a bit late in the game. Both plants are stunted but I think for my first grow I did alright.

way better than my first grow.
that looks like normal senescence to me , i was reading last week that a plant has to go through this stage to produce certain tricomes,. I think you might run to 9-10 weeks but i think you will find it bulks up a lot in the next couple of weeks and hopefully starts producing some sticky tricomes..what does it smell like ?

Thanks! It went to a fruity smell a week ago or so and now starting to switch to what I can only call a dank weed smell. Mouthwatering really lol.

You actually look to be in good shape. You can see a lot of the bracts have started to swell.
You have been able to save enough fan leafs for any needed nitrogen that you may need.
By this time several of my grows were nitrogen spent and started working on the sugar leafs.
In any event it would be easier to over swing a nitrogen add that will matter ( organic add will do nothing in a week ) as it would need to be chemical ferts. This can pinch off potassium and phosphorus when you need it the most.
If you let your pH creep up as a few guys do when they are close this can cause a bit of this.
It's me I am just coasting.
Unless it's coco.

I am growing in coco/perlite. She is definitely fattening and I did have to cut the light up a tad but I dont think its bleaching but only been a few days

Coco folks are split up. Some go water only some drop to like 350ppm and some feed until chop.

Ive seen alot of talk about flushing the last week or two

Bro science. Testing bla bla bla bling taste test bla bla bla.
If you are a high CO2 high light high EC grower I could see a flush having an effect but a nice plant like that with a low nitrogen level eating fans is not that.

So just keep doing what im doing seems to be the plan. Im super stoked. Thanks again!

They can shift a little at different times of day as well as temperature changes. Keep a journal of the terp smells your plant puts out, and include time of day and temp. Down the road you can use this info to steer your terps and help it land where you like it... changes in the smell can also indicate whether your plant is stressed or happy.

Really? So much to learn still.
