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.

Droopy leaves, weird spots.
Does anyone know what's wrong with that bottom left plant? Those spots appeared pretty soon after I cleaned those filters. I'm thinking that it's a stress caused by that cleanse, no chemicals or such were used, but some roots were torn in the process. Deficiency? Disease?

Leaves, rust dots, yellowing margins
These leaves look like torture, are they getting too much or not enough? Brown rust dots, yellowing margins that turn brown; petioles are purple.

Foglie gialle 4 settimana fioritura
Ciao a tutti.. Le foglie che si stanno ingiallendo, può essere una extra fertilizzazione? O eccesso di azoto?

Yellow Leaves
Hello community, I need help. My plant kept getting yellow leaves. I responded with more fertilizer. That seemed to help for the time being. She is in the 5 WEEK flowering phase. The nights have been colder than usual for the past 6 days. Now 60% of the leaves drooping and yellow

Yellow/ brown leaves #2 (pics didn’t post the 1st time)
Hey guys so my plants are starting to turn this yellowish color and I’m not sure what the problem could be. Sorry for the second pic, it’s kinda blurry but that’s the actual color compared to the other leaves. It’s my first grow and I’m kinda lost on a solution . Many thanks

Little seedling having a hard timr
So guys; I'm worried about this seedling. She's having trouble on keeping up with her sisters. I noticed a yelow color on their tinny tips 🤔 Cotiledons got brown pretty quickly too. She took longer to "open" the cotiledons after popping from the soil. Should I do something?? 🙏

I have about 3 weeks left of flower, haven’t started flushing and had some deficiency in the beginning. The yellowing is starting to creep up to the smaller, upper leaves. I’m thinking a cal mag issue since I have not supplemented with that at all. Is it too late to give ?

Fast yellowing in older and middle leaves, small buds.
Hi guys, I need your help on this one, this is a completely organic grow under a FC-6500 light which is 60cm at 100% power, it can't be light stress because the tops are fine.This yellowing happened fast in the span of 4 days.PH shouldn't be an issue since I calibrate regurarly.

Yellow sugar leaves
I am waiting for a low-THC strain to develop amber trichomes and I found two buds with these yellow sugar leaves. There is no bud rot, should I wait longer to harvest? Also, do CBD strains develop amber trichomes, or should I harvest now? Additional details available in growdiary
