This plant has triggered its senescence, it’s the end of her cycle.

If you have some microscope/magnifier check the trichomes. Most of the trichomes should be milky/cloudy. 30-50% should have started to change color into amber/brown. if not, 70-90% of pistils should have darkened.

Ph issue?
Hello, I'm getting a bit worried. I'm not sure does this yellowing happen because of my high ph? I think my soil have been moistured pretty long and wouldn't want to try lower their ph with water. Have anyone ideas what is the problem and how could I fix it? Thank you in advance!

Hojas bajas amarillas
Tras un día de sol sin un calor excesivo he detectado hojas amarillas en la parte baja de esta auto mutante (2 plantas de una semilla). La he alimentado con algunos ferilizantes, incluso calmag en una cantidad adecuada para la prevención... ¿Qué podría significar? ¿Como parece?

Yellow leaves
Hi guys, unfortunately because of an emergency I had to leave my 2 babys with some friends for three weeks. At the bottom some yellow leaves and like burning signs. I don't think it's because of over nutrition. They didn't get any for three weeks. Might be not enough nutrient?

What’s your opinion on this one?
What you think about it? Is she getting too much? I’m not giving her too much in my opinion. Her stems are purple and the leaves are yellowing a bit. Watering always with ph 6,3-6,5. Thanks for your help! Happy growing!

Could this be light burn?
Could this be light burn? Only on top new leafs. Have not fed her any nutes yet. I did lower the light after I did LST by the height difference after bending her lower. Have raised the light back up again but just wanted to check what people thought. Thanks in advance

Day 38 autos: is this nitrogen deficiency or something cal mag could help with?
Kia ora whanau, Each of my three flowering autos (the Herbies Beginner Auto Mix #1: Ape Fruit Auto, Purple Chill Auto and Godzilla Cookies Auto) has an issue with yellowing older leaves. Do I need more nitrogen or is this potentially something cal mag would address? TYVMIA!

Yellow tips on newer leaves. Nutrient burn or something else?
I have noticed yellowing on the tips of newer leaves that seems to be slowly getting bigger. Nothing on older leaves. Start of Nutrient burn? I also have noticed some yellow/brown spotting on older leaves but that may be related to earlier PH flux that has since been fixed. TIA!

Yellowing lower fan leaves, a few red stems; N/Mg deficiency or normal low leaf die-off?
Is this a Mg or N deficiency or are these leaves naturally dying off? Showing on only one of two plants so far. Appears only on lowest fan leaves. F20, 7L pots BioBizz AllMix and nutes (1mL/L Grow and 2mL/L Bloom). Temp/RH are good. Can't measure pH. Local soft tap water 7-8pH.

Yellow leaves and spots
Noticed some leaves growing yellow at the bottom of the plant, a few days ago, added biobizz bloom as I hadn't used any fertiliser yet. Today I noticed the spots on 1 of the leaves, veins in the middle have what looks like rust. Any ideas?

Hey guys, I have noticed that some of the upper leaves are turning yellow. I read that it may be because of heat stress or light burn but I'm not entirely sure and just wanted to ask what i can do to stop other leaves from having this issue. Anyways, what do you guys think?
