Update: after freaking out yesterday when I found fan leaves with black ends and all curled over I’ve decided to just remove any bad leaves for now and let the plant keep maturing. In reading online and a few books, my analysis is this is a bad phosphorus deficiency causing necrosis. I’m not going to add any nutes and will just let it be. Buds don’t seem to be getting affected but will chop at any sign of this getting into the buds. Trichomes look about 50% clear 50% cloudy. I will keep her going as long as possible but she could see the axe this weekend. The smell is amazin and colours are very cool. MOSt buds have deep purple colours to them. Deficiency is helping out a bit too! My original concerns: Some of the Leaves are going blackish green on the sides and tips. Some are dry and crunchy and others are damp and folded over. I wiped the black / dark green parts on a white clean paper towel and there was no residue on the paper afterwards. I also looked with my scope and it didn’t look like any spongy growth on the leaves but I don’t often look at leaves at 120x. I clipped all the curled up leaves off. I will see how it looks and if more leaves are badly affected I will chop 10 - 15 days early or keep it going as long as I can. I’m thinking maybe this is leaves dying off because of cold nights (17 degrees). Any insite is much appreciated. Cheers.

Seeing the leaf tips clawing a bit. Plant looks healthy, no dark green (too much N). Having full wet / dry cycles. Not adding any nutes so wondering if it’s a sign of a deficiency of some form. Been like this for about a week and no other obvious negative signs. Thanks!

Hey cap, I was scratching my head head too I was like is it overeater ohh though ? No it's not, is it nutes that though? No it's not ... Maybe it is though ? No he's in good shape. You're doing well no nutes no oberwatering that's for sure! What it is though is cold temperatures. No necessarily the environmental temperatures which are on the lower bound of what the plant expects but you're watering solution is real cold for the plant so the roots are getting shocked and think it's colder than it is so they're responding like this . What you want to do is water with water at an optimal 21C and it you'll see the plant recover almost instantly. Hope this helps! 🚀

Need urgent help. I’m a day short of 7 weeks into flower. Fan leaves are turning yellow at a rapid pace and now a dark green black is forming on fan leaves. Do I chop now or just remove affected leaves? Thanks.

Hi @Captain_7! This is a normal thing, this process is called "senescence", basically your plant's cells are getting old and will die as the plant is ending its maturation. This is a sign that your buds are taking nutrients in the leaves and your harvest window is getting close. Congratulations, not all the growers do a good flush and have a nice fade on their plants. To find out about your harvest window, you will need to look at the trichomes with the help of a magnifier/microscope. Clear/Transparent/Skinny trichomes mean it's too soon, Milky/Cloudy/Fat trichomes mean the harvest window is open, Amber trichomes mean the harvest window is ending, and THC is degrading. Based on your latest pictures I think you're very close to the finish line, but only you can tell, by having a daily close up inspection. Hope this will help, good luck with the last days and enjoy your harvest! 👊

Hi, half a gallon should be enough for a 40 cm Plant for 5-7 days. I think you have a big reservoir in your soil now, lift your pot or weigh him. Normally 7 gallons of soil should weigh around 10-11 kilos ( 22 pounds) There you have a number for watering the next time Let your plant dry until you reach 24-25 pounds and then water again.But only half a gallon

@BarrieGrower, in my opinion wateringregime is the trickiest part of indoor growing, and it takes time . and everyone does it its own way. there is no wrong or right, only to keep a dry wet circle, and not doing to much, because its a big invitation to a lot of pests and issues

@Mrs_Larimar, interested watering strategy and good to know. I which is probably like most newbies overwater. What I do is once a week or so, water 1/4 the pot volume and then let dry. Then in between big waterings do the 1/2 gallon. I thought you needed a good water for roots to expand. Good to know, will tty that.

@Captain_7, nice soil composition. I've been wanting to add composted sheep manure to my .mix however was a bit apprehensive. Trying to figure that out. Definently going to try now. Love the fade, Great looking grow!

@Mrs_Larimar, I feel like I should be posting pictures daily because she’s developing so nicely, absolutely mesmorizing. The smell is incredible. I had the tent open and went outside for a minute, Came back in and the whole house was filled with a fruity smell. So awesome.

@Captain_7, yes i'm talking about the clawing tips, you'll see them perk up hopefully 👍 let me know how they react... if it's not that then you got other root problems but i think it's as simple as cold water shocking the roots. stay in touch next update / watering 👊

@CRiSPrGrow, thanks very much for the answer. The drooping was from dry soil because I was a day late on watering. I do agree that the water I’m using is on the cold side. I will warm this up a bit before on my next time around. Any thoughts on the claw tips?

Another successful Dinafem harvest on the grow diary platform and this time with our Purple Afghan Kush or PAK for short 👍 I must say come harvest she really did live upto her name. Those flowers certainly took on a beautiful Purple colour which has carried through to the end product 👌 Nice to see you've filled your jars. Let those flowers cure for a few week and you'll have some super potent, heavy hitting indica flowers to consume 👍 Fine work my friend and a very successful end outcome ✌️ Enjoy that dank and frosty end product mate 👌 Well earned and deserved 👍 All the best Mark..
