Yup, its totally natural for the big fan leaves to turn yellow and eventually die off when your plants are flowering.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.
Thank you.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.
If you're only in your third week of flowering and your plants that yellow you might want to consider feeding it ?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.
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 luckThanks guys, I have been feeding her...the only change was switching over to bloom nutes during the first week of flower.
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?We know LOL that's why she's so yellow!

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.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 :)
